Chromecast Issues

28 replies

Hi Ulrike,

How are you finding the Beosound 2?

I disabled all my Chromecast features on my speakers for now, because of the issues. I have been using Google Music and Deezer, but neither cast without them eventually stopping for some unknown reason. That also happens when using Google Home too. So the only reliable way I can play music at the moment is through the B&O app using Deezer.

If there has been an update overnight let me know and ill try out GCC again.

Take care,

David

David,

that's strange since we both have the same speakers ...

I'm quite happy with the BS2, thanks again πŸ™‚

Just thinking about those issues of yours I do not understand:

Could it be your router? Just a thought?

 

Having such! a small bandwith here I've changed my router and now all works perfectly, even streaming Hi Res.

Send you some pics, look at the small bandwith here!

But then look at the router's enormous wireless network throughput  ...

This (gaming) router also has a fine app. So easy to make adjustments with just one tap. 

 

Strange.

Have you tried another app with Chromecast? Just tested Tunein, works flawlessly here.

However, David, I do hope all those issues will be fixed soon😐

Hey,

Thanks for the suggestion. It definitely isn't the router, because I have a brand new one and have all items on fixed IP addresses with highest priority on the network. Following your previous suggestion in another post of mine, I have all speakers connected to the network via ethernet too. So there is no reason that I cannot cast indefinitely from my Google Home. I have tried casting from other apps and after a period of time they all just stop. I just assume there is something wrong with the actual casting, because of this. 

Ill probably stick with doing Deezer HiFi by the app for now until Deezer comes out on Google Home, because that's coming soon. Either that or go back to Google Music and casting from Google Home, just putting up with the music randomly stopping. 

Thanks for your kind assistance anyway.

Take care,

David

Well, what can I say 😳

Always love a good riddle?

 

All that remains so far I can imagine, have you checked:

David,
and others,

something else to the riddle.
Wondering about the fact that I am not affected by those issues, I recalled:
There was a thing called KRACK vulnerability last year in October.
This means:

And I'm not going to update It unless I find no more issues, maybe related to this.

Hi Ulrike,

I don't know an answer to the riddle yet, but I don't think it's the router, because this is my third router in 6 months. If you remember I changed them when trying to get my speakers to stay connected to the network (before ethernet). I have the latest firmware, because I didn't own this router until January. So, there is no way of having firmware before October 2017. 

It is a frustrating set of issues this, but we will get there in solving it.

Thanks for the suggestion again.

Take care,

David

David,

so... :)

have you checked your router's Cast compatibility? 

Here's a list (GCC support with workarounds. Btw, I called them once on the phone, not being able to solve my problem, and they helped me out):

Hi Ulrike,

Thank you for trying to help me resolve this. I looked at that list and my router doesn't appear on there. Though I have a Nighthawk my particular model doesn't appear. Besides the workaround isn't relevant, because the Chromecast I have is connected to the router and all the speakers are ethernet connected. 

If it comes to it ill call support as you suggest. For now, ill see if things improve or if Google/B&O/Deezer release an update.

Thanks again buddy.

Take care,

David
