The more I play with this the more it resembles 2 other support topics, namely:
[Kenneth_Kirkpatrick] [Chromecast Audio , connects but will not play]
(Chromecast Audio , connects but will not play)
[Jonas_Soderlund] Tracks don’t start playing from Tidal without pressing pause and play (Chromecast Audio)
I wish there was a clearer pattern to what’s going on but it’s random, Sometimes a track will play, sometimes not unless I pause and restart. Whether this be from initially selecting a track, auto advancing to the next track, manually skipping to the next track, switching to another album, advancing the timeline, etc.
What I do know is that PLEX and Spotify work fine to the same CCAs and ChromeCast Inside devices.
