Cast not working correctly

[smc999]

Hi,
The player itself is a wonderful app but I am having issues when trying to cast.
The app is finding my Sonos speakers and my google chromecast but will only sporadically cast to the chromecast and won't cast to the Sonos speakers at all. This happens with mp3's, flac and wave files. The cast function works to the chromecast about once in every ten times. Any thought as to why this is happening as other apps connect to both without a problem?

only casting to chromecast or the nexus player is supported. Any other devices are not supported. I dont have an answer for you on why you are having trouble with the chromecast. None of my devices have any issues nor has anyone else reported any playback issues

Thanks for the reply.
I seem to be able to connect to the chromecast without a problem for other apps but the fact that your app is able to pretty much decode any audio format including HD audio its a shame that I can't buy the app because the casting seems spotty for me.
I'm using an htc desire-x and motorola xoom which are both having issues. Would logs be any help?

well the casting capability is limited to formats that the chromecast supports.. are you trying to cast formats not supported by chromecast? That would explain why it doesnt work. Casting is really just hosting a media file in a webserver and pointing the chromecast to its url. GMMP does not decode the audio and send it to the chromecast

edit: if you are able to get logcats when it fails to work on chromecast and send the logs to [e-mail] that would be great. gonemadmusicplayer.blogspot.com/2014/07/how-to-get-logcat-system-log-to-help.html
