Since the most recent update to gmmp and the switch from "Google cast" app to "Google home" I get the error "Chromecast failed to load track" after a song finishes playing in the queue and tries to move to the next song. The player seems to search for each next track in the queue, until it eventually settles on one, but at that point play stops.
Works perfectly on Bluetooth or just playing through phone speakers. Problem is only on Chromecast Audio.
Also works fine if I use the"Google cast screen" option in Google home app. So the issue only happens when using gmmp "cast" option from now playing three dot menu.
Tried clearing cache, no luck.
Note 4, 6.0.1

the only thing changed in the latest update is it uses a newer version of the cast api.. nothing else. Another user had a similar issue and the logs showed their phone was killing gmmp's music service. Unless im shown something otherwise there really isnt anything i can do to prevent that. Casting is simply hosting a file via an http server and pointing the chromecast to it. The only way that is going to fail is if gmmp gets killed

Hi,
Thanks for responding. I just emailed you the error log, in case this is different than what you were seeing with the other user. If not, that's OK, still love gmmp, thanks for the hard work!

k think i fixed it.. i guess the newer versions of the api spam out status on the chromecast even if it has not changed.. this was causing multiple play calls to be called in a row before the song actually loaded. I'll have a fix posted tonight

Sorry.. Played around with the Google home app. Didn't work before... Now it does. Maybe a just a conflict with an other player. Just delete both posts. Sorry for that. Nice captcha by the way...  |

the chromecast icon only changes when now playing is refreshed.. so things like a screen orientation change or backing out of gmmp and relaunching it will cause gmmp to run a search for cast devices on the network and will show the icon if it finds any
