What do you mean by too wide?I just purchased the tablet version, and in fullscreen mode the panels are too wide.
The automatic casting seems to be bug (or maybe future feature?) Google introduced in a recent update to Google Home or maybe Google Play: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chromecast/00b79rIKacA
Rebooting the phone may help or uninstalling Google Home could possibly help too.
I think it only affects some versions of Android. I don't experience it on my Pixel.
Hello,
Same problem here (Galaxy S6 android 6.0.1). Each time I open the app, it automatically connects to chromecast and show just a big picture on my TV.
I try to uninstall Google home without success, automatic casting still working.
Can you provide a option to disabling chromecast support in your app ? I agree that is a chromecast bug. But a chromecast support without sound for a audio app does not make sense.
Thanks !
Hello,
I have a problem with the 3rd Party Spotify Plug-In from Triode. When I search e.g. for an artist, click on the artist and want to play a mix of the artist or of similar artist, clicking on it doesn't work very often. And if I click the "+" button, there is written "loading" on the pup up window and nothing is happening. I think it is in some way not a problem of your app, but also of the Server (latest version 7.9 running on a qnap NAS x86) or the plug-in. But I think it could be handled by having a "play" button instead (or in addition) of this "+" button. 'Cause when I do it like that from the web interface, (just clicking the play button that is coming up when I am hovering over the entry), it's working.
So my question is: Could you make it possible in your app to just send the "play" impulse to the server in addition to show all possibilities over the "+" button?
Best regards,
Joern
The automatic activation of Chromecast desperately needs a fix. I thought that hiding the Chromecast icon would also disable the behaviour, but it doesn't. Which means that my TV automatically switches to Chromecast input everytime I use the SqueezeCtrl App.
Imagine my spouse's reaction when she is watching TV!!!
it's a nice feature but when it cannot be turned of it is better removed completely. IMO
Casting always has to be triggered manually to avoid unwanted behaviour like this.
I think it mainly affects Android 6 (Marshmallow) on certain devices.
I'd rather not to have this feature at all, because I don't need to see the title of actual track on 49" screen...
I second that. It also uses extra energy having a TV on all the time so it's bad for the environment too...
Chromecast support was a feature requested by a user, so I can't just remove it. Someone is using it.
As I have mentioned above, it is supposed to only work when the user initiates it and it was working that way until Google changed something that causes it to auto connect. If you don't believe me that other apps, including Google apps, had the same problem, look at this thread: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chromecast/00b79rIKacAI understand that. But then it should also behave like it is implemented in every other app, which means the connection is only initiated with a user command (pressing the Chromecast Connect icon).
