Bug: Plexamp hangs when casting to Chromecast Audio after inacitivity

Dear Plex team,

I’ve noticed that after upgrading to the latest Plexamp on android, when I try to initiate playback ( either a track or a whole album ) casting to Chromecast Audio, it just hangs ( album art not loaded and the loading circle keeps spinning ) and I have to go back and initiate the playback again to make it work.
This happens after the phone/plexamp wasn’t used for a while, then launching Plexamp, Plexamp is automatically connecting to the CC Audio when started ( I love this feature, many many thanks for this :wink: ) and then initiating playback.
I haven’t had this issue before and it was playing straight away.
Is this something which has already been reported or would you need more information to investigate?

Thank you for such an amazing app, it has great potential.

huh, nothing should have changed in that area. can you reproduce the bug and then attach a plexamp log?

It seems to work now, strange, it happened a few times after the upgrade, but I guess it could be related to something else. I’ll get the logs if it happens again. Thank you

It happened again and managed to capture the logs.

When Plexamp was launched, it connected automatically to the previously connected CCAudio, I selected an item to play and it just hanged until I pressed back and selected it to play again, then it started.

here is a short video of how it looked like : 18.91 MB file on MEGA

seems like something got confused, this is from the chromecast library:

Cast: State is currently NoDevicesAvailable

seems like something network-related is making the device confused.

Could be the Chromecast / network playing up, but the interesting thing is that it was stuck on that loading page ( but didn’t wait for more than 30s I believe ) until I re-initiated playback
