Can't cast to my Raspberry Pi Plexamp instalation

Server Version: 1.21.4.4079
Player Version: 2.0

Hello,

I tried to install PlexAmp 2.0 to my Raspberry Pi 4. When I start it, I can see the player on my other devices. When I try to cast to them no music is playing and the progress bar does not appear.

This is the status output from the Terminal:

It seems, that the Raspberry is not able to connect to my server properly, I think?

Is there an solution for this problem?

EDIT:

I don’t know why, but it works after rebooting the server.

I still want to point out a few bugs that I noticed:

Android and IOS (normal Plex App):

Player Version: 8.13.2

When casting to PlexAmp I always have to restart the first song, because otherwise there is no music coming out, even when to progress bar progresses.

PlexAmp for IOS:

Player Version: 3.4.3

When I cast to PlexAmp, I can listen to the first songs without a problem. But then I am unable to control anything. I cant’t pause, I can’t skip to the next song and I can’t change the song.

PlexAmp for Android on the other hand works flawlessly for me.
