This is now working as I would expect in MMW 5.0.4.2660 Beta.

Sorry, I've misled you by not testing thoroughly enough.

I've just done a normal install of MediaMonkey_5.0.4.2661_Debug and found that the fix had regressed!

When it "worked correctly", I was testing using a portable installation of MediaMonkey_5.0.4.2659_Debug (pretty sure).

So, I've now tried a portable install of MediaMonkey_5.0.4.2661_Debug and it was fixed again.

I then did a complete uninstall of MediaMonkey_5.0.4.2661_Debug (directory and shortcut were removed), and installed it again normally ... again, the problem was there. However, the portable installation continued to give the correct list of cast targets.

I noted that, following the complete uninstall then reinstall of MediaMonkey_5.0.4.2661_Debug, MMW remembered my volume setting, license details, folder settings etc. so maybe something is being left in the registry which is causing this problem?

Hi,
I suspect more to Windows VitualStore that can trigger some times and sometimes it decided MM should load normal settings :( but again I wish I am wrong and there si a bug in MM caching of Chromecast clients.

At least one thing is certain Portable worked ;)

If issue returns please let us know ASAP so that we can investigate fix.

OK, I uninstalled MMW5 once more, and removed all MM-related entries from the registry (there were a lot left there).

After I reinstalled MediaMonkey_5.0.4.2661_Debug (normal install), I searched in my AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey5 directory and found references to the individual speaker names of the pair (like "Kitchen R") in the following files ...

persistent.json.bck
persistent.json
MM5.DB

So, it looks like it's not a Windows problem :-(

I understand that these setting files are useful/required when doing an upgrade, but if the product is completely uninstalled, then they should all be removed ... no?
