Update from me!

The apps seems to find my M3 fine as a Chromecast device.....but not the BS Essence

 

Location: Flensborg————Danmark

CC v1.44.219548 works fine on my M3.

FWIW, CC v1.42.172094 works fine also on my CCA.
All my devices with CC ver 1.28.102057 are now failing (BS1, M5, A6): Dont appear in Google home anymore (I can see the device appearing after power off/on, attempts to recognize it as a speaker are failing, Google home gives up and device critical events are showing “ * Authentification server unreachable, stopping Google Cast!”

Devices with CC version 1.44.219548 are woking fine (Core, M3) but sometime have issues with Deezer over CC (not able to connect, stopping casting fails to stop it effectively).

The only non B&O CC device I have works fine, CC version 1.50.xx

Sorry MM,

but this picture doesn't tell the whole story. We can't verify if one of the devices shown is actually not the BS Essence. 

Don't get me wrong, I do believe you, but the picture doesn't say a thing.

 

Thx for moving this discussion (sorry for hijacking the wrong thread) to a new thread :)

Summarized my situation: 

My Essence has the same 1.28.102057 CC version (and is not working anymore). 

My other (Harman Kardon) speakers have 1.44.xxxxxx CC version (and work great) and my Google Home/Nest speakers have 1.50.xxxx and 1.52.xxxx and also work as they should. 

Made also a suppor ticket, so let's hope there qill be prompt follow-up. Since the newer CC versions (1.4x and newer) are available on other B&O products, let's hope it is not that complex.

You’d have to believe me - do you see a reason not to?

My post was not meant to be a scientific publication - I just wanted to tell, that my M3 works with CC.....because I had earlier posted that it does not.

OK, now all of a sudden CC has disappeared from both my A9 MK2 and BS2!?!?!?

I mean, I'll raise support tickets, but I don't quite understand what's going on?

I hardly do use CC, but it reads like the CC protocol has changed and B&o haven’t adjusted their systems accordingly yet.
