Musicbee Chromecast Plugin

[scatterkeir]

Could it be because of bad wifi ?
My chromecast plugin also turns off constantly, but since i moved out i suspect bad wifi.
May it be because of the plugin itself ?

I don't think so, MusicBee Remote works fine on the Chromecast.

Mine has just started consistently timing out today. The plugin can see my Chromecast fine but it times out. I've tried restarting both MusicBee and the Chromecast.

Mine too, has been fine for years. I have not changed anything in my setup, was playing music fine at the weekend and then yesterday and today it's timing out when attempting to connect.

Same issue here. Damn. This was an awesome plugin.

The developer of this plugin hasn't been on the forum since February 2022, so you may be out of luck.

WHAT IS NEXT, GENTLEMEN???

Unless someone wants to take over development of this plugin, there is nothing next.

[Caveat]

Same with mine. It has been working for a long time and now, after the Gooogle issue with their certificate, which as they say it would be solved with a firmware update automatically downloaded onto the CC Audio, it is not working from MusicBee, though it works with other apps, like DS Audio from Synology.
Can't stream music from MusicBee to CC Audio any more.
The author of this incredibly useful plug-in should have a check of it now.

Ain't gonna happen.

Immediately before your post is this:

Ain't gonna happen.

Forgive my ignorance in how this all works, but is this open source in a way that someone else could potentially continue development on it if they so desired?

Send a PM to the plugin developer and see if they reply.
