Casting: Losing cast option and not automatically opening app #1165

Open Omp26 opened 2 years ago

Omp26 commented 2 years ago

When I link with tv code, the cast option comes up and I'm able to cast to the tv. Once I close out of the app or disconnect, the option to cast to STN is gone and I have to repeat the process to get it working. Do you need to link with tv code every time you want to cast? If the option to cast is still available on my phone, unless I have SMT open on the tv, the cast will not work and will be stuck loading. Is there a way to cast from your phone so STN opens atomically on the tv without needing to be manually opened prior?

At least the second part of your issue seems a duplicate of #1280, to reiterate: I am quite sure this is not a issue with SmartTubeNext but just with configuration of your chromecast (with Google tv) I was looking for this a while ago but finally have the proper configuration to make it really convenient. SmartTubeNext should have the display over other apps permission (settings>apps>special apps access>display over other apps>smarttubenext to on). Then go to turn screen on (settings>apps>special apps access>turn screen on) and also toggle STN to on. Then you can cast from screen off or screen on on any screen and cast works like it would on normal youtube. I also installed ATV STN bridge and uninstalled Youtube, I am not sure if that is necessary or not but if it does not work with the above settings you should do that. If you have any questions I can help you more.
