Playing Music to Chromecast from Emby Android (v.3.5.16)

[martincwd 2]

Hi. I'm experiencing problems casting Music to Chromecast from Emby Android. I've tried on two different phones (Google and Samsung) both running Android 16. What I've found is:

1) The App loses sync with what's currently playing after playing has started. If you start an Album the music plays correctly but after a time, the Emby App no longer shows details of what is currently playing.

2) Not all devices available for casting show as options for casting within the Emby App. For example, a speaker may be available in Google Home for Chromecast but not show in the Emby App.

3) Casting to Speaker groups doesn't appear to be possible.

Are the above known problems (limitations) with Chromecast from Emby Android? Has anyone else experienced similar problems and/or found successful workarounds?

I appreciate that Chromecast/Google Home can be a bit flakey and difficult to implement. That said, being able to cast music from Emby to Chromecast is a really useful feature.

Hi, we’ll take a look at these. Thanks for reporting.

Many thanks. This seems to be a common problem with Android Apps playing Music to Chromecast. Looking around, the most reliable App I've found for streaming music from Emby is Symfonium.

OK we are looking into it. Thanks.
