Cast doesn't work on Android starting 3.4.6

It looks like the casting changes in Plexamp 3.4.6 on Android broke casting for me, for groups and individual speakers alike. I’m on Android 12 B1 on a Pixel 5, and I’m pretty sure the beta OS didn’t break this - but I can’t swear on that timing :slight_smile: I have various Nest and non-Google devices, neither of them works with Plexamp, but they all work with Spotify or YTMusic.

My logs are like this, a bit redacted

As a comparison data point, I’m running Android 11 patch level RQ2A.210505.002 on a Pixel 4a, PlexAmp 3.4.6. I was just able to cast to a Google Nest speaker. I’ll do some additional testing to see if I can create a failure scenario.

Thanks, that was a good data point! I uninstalled, installed 3.4.5, that worked, and the updated to 3.4.6 again, and now cast works again. Must have been something weird cached…
