Yeah, it's not multi-zone casting.

The debug log linked below starts with a music video track by Placebo playing, then I double click the Divinyls - Science Fiction in the auto playlist, and that track plays for a very short time, then restarts. Log seems to indicate playback stopped for some reason, but I didn't do it...

Same thing happens when Divinyls is playing and I double click Placebo in the auto playlist. Other tracks do exactly the same thing. (Note: this is not double clicking tracks in the playing list - that works perfectly.)

Cheers,
Steve.

Do you have the ChromeCast Ultra in multi-zone or separately?
If it is in multi-zone then the seek to the beginning could be caused by trying to sync the audio with other devices in the multi-zone.

If it is not in multi-zone then generate debug log (item 4b here: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=86643 ) for analyzing.

Build 2304.

I'm casting to a ChromeCast Ultra with MMW5, and getting an unwanted "double start" to play a music video from an Auto Playlist. Steps to reproduce:

1. Select auto-playlist
2. Double click the first track, which populates the playing list, plus MMW5 is set to play on double click. Default actions "Play now", default "Play Now" action clear list & play selected plus subsequent
3. ChromeCast will display artist/track/year (thanks for fixing that), and will buffer and play about the first second
4. Track stops playing and immediately restarts, buffers, then plays okay

Not a biggie, but needs refinement.

Cheers.
