Hey,

 

I can no longer connect with Google Home Mini (Music), there is no problem with Google Chromecast! Is this a bug?

 

Android version currently: version 3.0.75

 

Greetings

Hi, can you please describe the problem in more detail? What exactly happens when you try?

[Patrick1945]

Emby for Android sees my Google home but cannot play on the Home Mini (the cast icon does not change).

Same problem here, not connecting to chromecast audio devices, video devices are OK, just get a spinning circle.

I just got 3 minis today, for the first time.

 

I can stream to my speaker group,

 

beginners luck?

 

I was just searching the forums to see how to do it and came across this thread.

 

How did I live without these before???????

Have you tried rebooting your google home mini?

[Patrick1945]

After restarting everything, I still can't connect to the Google Home Mini's. The circle keeps turning on my screen but cannot connect.

I have no idea how the minis update software BUT my new out of the box minis did do the usual out of box updates.

[Luke]

@Patrick1945 is the software of your Google Home mini up to date?

[Patrick1945]

@Luke Firmwareversion of Cast: 1.42.169341
Firmwareversion of system: 169341
= Softwareversion from the Google Home Mini.

[Luke]

Are you still running into this?

[jamvids]

Still a problem here, won't connect to any chromecast audio device. If I try a multi device setup I will get the sound on one or two of them but nothing happens and the circle keeps spinning.

Here also still a problem, makes connection (bleep by connection) But can't play thru the speaker.

After a few days of the minis I understand what you are saying about the cast icon.

 

I am having that issue NOT in Emby Andriod BUT in a podcast app I have, Podcast Addict.

The cast icon disappears. 

I have to kill the app, turn off my wifi on the device.

I then turn back on the device wifi and then relaunch the Podcast Addict app.

This is on one of the original Nexus 7 tablets.

 

I haven't tried Emby Android on that device yet.

 

I have been using my Samsung A50 phone and my older Blu phone or Emby Android.

As a temporary workaround, use VLC and emby should show up as a dlna server. Not pretty but functional.

Still can't cast to GOOGLE HOME MINI. Connects to GOOGLE HOME MINI via smartphone (Beep sound). As soon as music is played, it is displayed on the smartphone.

How are you first establishing the connection?

Casting music to any of my Google Home devices is not working. Rebooted server a couple of times, rebooted Android phone and iPad without success. The list of devices appears in both of the Emby apps, I select a device, the device responds with the connect sound but nothing plays. Google Home connects and plays music fine with Plex, Google Music, etc. Emby spinning ring never disappears. Nothing in the log appears out of order. Log Attached. Thanks in advance for any feedback.
