Casts to groups (with more than one speaker) cannot be stopped, and will immediately reconnect #53

Closed dday4thedeceiver closed 4 years ago

To reproduce: create a group (with at least two devices - if the group has only one device, all is well). Cast from DAS, then click stop. DAS will immediately reconnect.

This also happens if you start casting to a speaker in this group from elsewhere. The cast will start, however DAS will immediately reconnect, interrupting the other stream.

It may also be related that groups may show up twice in the device list, but this is not consistent. They are not duplicated in user.config

(As an obvious workaround I'm casting to individual devices, but the motivation to use groups is because they seemed to be more reliable in avoiding single device dropouts. I haven't been casting to multiple devices with 2.4 though, so that was based on experience with earlier versions)

I can confirm this one, it has to do with the firmware upgrade. I think I can fix it later (group information has changed in the reply from the devices).

Stopping a group works as expected for me. Does it happen every time for you?

Yes, it's pretty consistent, however I'm on 2.4 - will update to 2.4.5 and report back.

WRT to the alternative of casting to multiple devices, the syncing gets pretty bad too.. however it's not a dealbreaker. There was a dropout but that's probably because the speaker was power-cycled..

Stopping manually seems to be working fine with 2.4.5

Thamks. I think this is also fixed in 2.4.15. The device was restarting because of a bug in saving the known devices. See also this issue.

Please reopen if it still occurs.
