tinskip 0 Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 I noticed that the Emby Android app is not using the Chromecast volume gain, but is instead doing its own, resulting in the total gain = gain(Chromecast) * gain(Emby). For example, If I go to the Home app, and lower the volume to 0, emby won't play at all. So the Chromecast volume has to be 100% to behave correctly. This becomes kind of tedious if you use chromecast on more than one app: you have to set the gain in that other app to 100% before disconnecting and connecting with Emby.
Luke 39003 Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Hi, what do you mean by won't play at all?
rpoitras 1 Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Not OP, but I noticed the same thing. When connected to CC, Emby still uses/controls its own volume instead of using the CC volume (i.e. there are TWO separate volumes: CC and Emby). And this is reflected in the label shown for the volume slider. It will say "Emby". When using other apps like Google Play Music or Prime Music connected to CC, changing the volume affects the CC volume only and is also reflected by the label shown for the volume slider as it says "Chromecast Audio", or something similar. Also, just FYI, Emby through CC seems to use a lot more battery than Play/Prime Music and not sure why.
tophee 2 Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 I also noticed that there is something wrong with the volume over chromecast. When switching between different apps that cast to chromecast, volume usually doesn't have to be adjusted. Except if Emby is involved It's volume is always wrong, compared to other apps.
Luke 39003 Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 Can you please try this version and let me know how it compares: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9am2hgfcj403j8d/MediaBrowser.Mobile-googlearmv7-release.apk?dl=0 Thanks !
tophee 2 Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 Sorry, I forgot to reply. I tested the provided apk and can confirm that it's much better now. It still seems that Emby is somewhat louder than other Apps via Chromecast, but I haven't dug into this further.
