Chromecast - Sound bar not working

[Thuzad 50]

Hello,

 

On the application downloaded on the apple store the sound bar does not work when connected to a chromecast. The other buttons work well.

Why do you feel that it's not working?

If I move the sound bar, it does not change, it remains at the same level on the chromecast.
While on a computer under chrome the sound is well modified (increased, decreased)

This has been an issue for me as well for a long time. I haven't really been that bothered before because I had a remote to an amp, but after switching to a solution where I no longer have the remote, it's kind of annoying that I have to get up and change the volume manually since I'm using a TOSlink output to a DAC.

 

Same issue as OP. The volume bar in the app does nothing, and using the change volume buttons on the side of my iPhone 7 doesn't change the volume either. 

 

When I use other apps like YouTube or Netflix, everything works fine. It's a regular 1080p Chromecast if that makes any difference.

 

Would love to see this solved!

Up ? Any news ?

It's being looked into, thanks.

I saw the fix in the last beta (3.6.0.54), I wait for the package to be available for linux and I'll do a test. Is there a correction on the mobile app ?

There is no change with this in the server. Thanks.

Please try this again with Emby for iOS 1.6.4 once released. Thanks guys.

The sound bar works perfectly on my chromecast! Thank you for the work! 

 

I also tested at a friend's house with a chromecast integrated in his box TV and it did not change the sound, the bar was displayed well. I will do some tests and provide you the logs when I have the opportunity to repeat the test
