Radio Paradise

In the past usually required power-cycling something, probably router. Another thing that can mess it up is if the phones clock time is out of sync.

Until today the app had a cast icon: now, on two phones, it has gone.

I could have sworn that I had seen the cast icon on the Android app (not iOS) but perhaps not.

Any idea when the full Chromecast Audio support will be available?

TIA

PS: only checked because of the big TuneIn Radio outage today.

Currently updating the Andrdoid app to support the new player features. Chromecast support will be part of this release, looking forward to getting casting polished and out of beta.

Chromecast sort-of works for me, but it is very flaky.

The symptom I have is that it works for a few songs, and then there will be a station announcement and after that no new music is played. If I manually re-cast, then it may work or what happens more frequently is that it will re-play the last half or so of the most recent song and then the station announcement will play and it will stop again.

Also, it will frequently not work at all when I cast. Instead of playing anything, it will connect to the Chromecast but show "No Media Selected" in the cast window and nothing plays at all. I can hit "Stop Casting" and re-try but once this starts happening it will never work again until I cast with another app and then go back to RP in which case it might work or might not.

This has been happening for months with the beta app for me. I've sent numerous comments to the developer using the beta feedback on the Google Play store, but no apparent progress has been made on this issue.

Am I just unlucky or do other people have this same problem?

NOTE: This is when casting to Chromecast Audio. When I use Chromecast Video, it does seem to work better, but still never as reliably as when using the Roku app for example which will play for days without interruption.

NOTE2: I used to use the Tunein Radio app which has Radio Paradise and used to cast to Chromecast Audio reliably, but recently it has also been super flakey, so I've gone back to trying to play using the RP Android App.

NOTE3: I don't think it is my network since I can stream 4K video plus multiple 1080p simultanously without hiccups on my connection.

It's an open beta. The button to join is near the bottom of the RP page in the play store app.
Can take up to an hour for the update to be available after joining.

Hi, have you access to the beta app?
Iâm based in the East Midlands in England, UK. Happy to contribute to beta testing.

Hi folks, I'm running the RP app on my TV, via Google's Home app. The approach is to cast the screen of your device onto your TV. Here's the link to the Google Support page for anyone who'd rather steer clear of 3rd party app, while Bill and Rebecca work on Chromecast support for the RP app: https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/6059461?hl=en-GB

any update on the chromecast support? having the slideshow player on TV directly (so without the not so perfect tab casting) would be great.

I use an android app called Dashboard Cast. It uses widgets to build a customized screen to cast. Choose the audio widget and paste one of the many mp3 streams from the RP website such as. http://stream-tx3.radioparadise.com/mp3-192 No playlist but you do get a slideshow - not RP's. Works for me - no dropouts. Rick

I'm chromecasting RP just fine using Tunein Radio Pro. No problems or skips. No album covers or metadata though. I'll take it.
