I find that the screen flashes every minute, is there a solution to this?
Thatās bad! Did you find a solution?
Hi, still havenāt found a solution to this
I was also having the same issue with my Google Nest Hub (I think 1st gen) frustratingly going into screensaver mode after a minute or so when using it as a chromecast display for Roon. I have to confirm that putting it into screen reader mode did indeed fix the problem. It flickers every once in a while as it tries to go into screensaver mode but I guess screen reader prevents this. Also, it wasnāt working the first day I tried it and woke up the next morning to it just automatically working. It has the red/maroon box around the edges so I know itās in accessibility mode. Thanks for the tip!
One thing I wonder if it has been tried is to use a node-red script in order to automatically send a cast request to the roon display every 30 seconds or so in order to ensure it never times out. I am on holidays now but will give it a try.
I already published a dedicated node-red using roon API to control Roon so if it works Iāll publish a new version.
Well it doesnāt workā¦ Well at least. Because Roon also stop streaming. So it is necessary to send 2 commands, the cast and one command to Roon to request to display againā¦
A simpler solution, which admittedly might not be convenient for everyone, is to use a browser on your Roon Server and cast from that to the Google Nest Hub. I use Opera on my Mac mini M1, which also runs Roon Server, and cast from the browser rather than directly from Roon. No glitches, flickering or red boxes
