After the updated Google Assistant was released, all of the above is incorrect. Here's how you activate voice control using a wired or wireless headset: 1. Open Google Home 2. Click on your account symbol (the circle with a person inside) 3. Click on 'Settings' in the General Settings section 4...

I've found that sometimes it works - sometimes not. Haven't been able yet to see a pattern in this...

On my Galaxy S7Edge with the S-View cover this does not work. I have enabled "Always Connected" but still Squeeze Ctrl fails to show up on the lock screen....

Can you please elaborate on this? Did you or did you not find a way to download to an SD card?

I agree completely :-) But as we see, some Apps are not obedient by the rules, thus providing features that for some seems beneficial and for other just nuisance. I tried force-closing chrome while streaming, but regretfully, the stream did stop. What that means, I'm not sure... Anyway, I just...

This is an interesting conversation :-) Here's my experience - If I initiate a stream using Deezer, I can close not only the browser but the whole PC, and my Chromecast continues to play and display albumart. I've enjoyed using an App named Dashboard Cast on my Android Phone, and it too...

Indeed, but does that establish a connection directly between my Chromecast and my server (independant of my PC)? If I close my browser, the stream stops... And by the way - this is a very rudimentary stream. None of the audio controls work, and pressing pause only inserts silence into the...

Ok, thanks - I was not aware that Spotify streams directly from their server. Now, since my LMS is available from the internet, would it be possible to stream directly from it to the CC?

What does that mean?? If I use Spotify, it will send the audio output to either the CC Audio only or the normal CC including cover art, navigation bars etc, so clearly it is possible!

I fail to understand the purpose of the ChromeCast icon in the Squeeze ctrl app. Yes, tapping it does allow me to connect to my ChromeCast Audio, and the welcome sound plays, but that's it. How do I get the Squeeze ctrl app to cast music to the ChromeCast Audio and not to any one of my Logitech...

By RTC I just mean Real-Time-Communication. Meaning that there is a constant chit-chat between the browser and the CC - which you too essentially pointed out. But that brings me back to square one again - The Dashboard Cast App proves that the CC is truly self contained enough to be able to run...

Thanks for your reply. Just for your information - Whatever it is that the Dashboard app loads into the CC, the CC continues to play and update all widgets even after I shut down the phone where the app is installed. This indicates to me that your assumption that an App running in background is...

OK, I'll take your word for it :-) (But why is it that the connection between the CC and LMS is broken when the tab is closed on the PC?) Or, to be more precise; Is there a way to avoid that? Or, to be even more precise (I'm going in circles now, aren't I?); Is there a way to enter a URL into...

I see, but casting a tab to the CC establishes a connection with Chrome, and not with LMS, right? Is there a way to make the CC connect directly to LMS?

Re: Chromecast is deaf and mute.... Hi, You're right about the buffering issue. It does take a long time for things to happen. But for the time being, I'm not too concerned about that. But I fail to understand how casting a tab from Chrome would solve my problem? Sure, I can do that - and it...
