AxelAxel3 23 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Out if state now... But when I get back, I will test it like crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runtimesandbox 152 Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Quick test tonight They now all show up again! Wooo Loses connection straight after leaving app, mild success in rejoining. If it does rejoin it isn't giving state such as how far through play it is. Play / Pause work. Can't get rid of bottom bar. Will test more over the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahorn11 1 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) Discovers my chromecast now, and starts playing media just fine. However control does not work at all. can not seek, pause, stop etc Also loses connection to chromecast when backing out of the app, can reconnect manually after loading back up, but controls still do not function. (doogee x5 pro, chromecast 2, bt home hub 3) - if relevant Edited March 5, 2016 by dahorn11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahorn11 1 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 After playing around a little more.. - if i connect to my chromecast from the home page. Controls do not work - if i connect to my chromecast within the remote page instead of the home page i can get some success. Controls work with the exception of play/pause and seeking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Controls work with the exception of play/pause and seeking I think he means that after reconnecting to the app, it shows item playing. The controls at the bottom of the screen do not work but going to the remote tab you can control limited functions such as play / pause. Well it is for me anyway Edited March 6, 2016 by spudy12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markgbe 4 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 So.... The only thing I've noticed so far in my normal usage is, the notification icon will pause the show but will not unpause. I can unpause from the controls in the app though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahorn11 1 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 what do you mean remote instead of the home page? Connecting here no controls work: Connecting here, most controls work except for play/pause and seeking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahorn11 1 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) Just updated the app, cannot reproduce what i was experiencing yesterday. Now both methods of connecting (see above) provide the same result. No bottom control bar at all, and in the remote page the only controls that work are mute, volume up and volume down. (edit) Update: I think the issue may be remotely hosted servers. I just setup a local server where i am to test and chromecast controls seem to work fine, but when connected to a remote server chromecast controls do not work.

markgbe 4 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I also notice the same behavior as in dahorn11's post. And.. One more. the notification object seems to be very inconsistent as far as appearence. Earlier it was there while media was playing, now it is not showing up. The app still shows I am connected to the cc and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36881 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Try 2.6.07 once you have that. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahorn11 1 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Seems to be the same, working controls with local server and only volume controls and no bottom bar with remote server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorty1483 448 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) Try 2.6.07 once you have that. thanks. Sorry for late reply. CC discovery is working without a problem now. Yesterday I watched some stuff and app runs great. Today I made the upgrade to 2.6.07 and totally lost the running stream control. I can connect to CC and start a stream to play. But the running stream is not showing in remote control, so I am not able to do something like Play/Pause/Stop etc. The problem is the same connecting in Homescreen or Control section.

markgbe 4 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) So.. I accidentally left a show series playing overnight, and when I woke up, I was able to connect to the cc and control it and see status, so that is cool. The notification icon showed up last night while connected/playing but when I reconnected, it did not. So other than the notification icon being flaky, everything is great.

Luke 36881 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 As of right now would you say your experience is better or worse than the previous implementation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorty1483 448 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 App finds CC far more fast than before. But app looses faster connection to stream when turning display off (even with WIFI active). The time in controls stands still but CC icon still shows as connected. Just my personal experience. I prefer the previous implementation. But I never had so much problems with not finding CC like others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runtimesandbox 152 Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 As of right now would you say your experience is better or worse than the previous implementation? I would go with better. I can actually find my chromecasts to cast stuff to without having to wait for ages or turn my phone off and on several times I have been using the emby app more in the last few days than I have previously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markgbe 4 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 This is much much better. Previously it wasn't usable, because of no cc found, kind of kills the whole deal immediately. I can grab other devices in the house while media is playing and connect to the cc, and it does that, displays the media info and allows me to control it.

runtimesandbox 152 Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 When this happens are you able to manually disconnect and reconnect? Yes and no. Sometimes I can, sometimes I have to go to the chromecast app and tell it to close emby and start over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dysan 2 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Started a new topic, because this topic was about slow finding chromecasts, my problem is also addressed here (remote control gone) see http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/32467-remote-control-function-gone/. Sure Luke will find a fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
