Hello,
I’m trying to cast from iOS plexamp app to my google TV (Sony Bravia 8 – I think chromecast built-in). I can connect from players list, but after around 30 minutes (app playing with screen locked), it seems to lose the connection and audio stops playing. Oddly, it shows the track name and playtime, but audio stops.
I tried to look at the plexamp logs from my iphone and I found this

To fix I have to disconnect the cast player, then reconnect. Not the end of the world but doing it every 30 minutes gets distracting when I want to focus on something else. Is there a fix for this?
TYSM
Edit: Unrelated but is there any way to cast from PC to a google tv? I only see my iphone as an available device when opening the cast player list from the PC plexamp app, whereas I see the tv on the iPhone list.
