Description Of Issue
After upgrading to Roon 1.8, Roon Core found the Chromecast dongle and the Chromecast Audio “acknowledgement” sound plays, possibly truncated. But pressing the play triangle in Roon Remote doesn’t do anything beyong change to the pause || button. I can click the green dot and it shows the Signal path with no indicated errors, but I don’t hear anything and the playback bar doesn’t advance.
I waited over a minute then pressed play, and it works! It definitely wasn’t this slow with previous version. And when it gets to the next track or I press >| to advance to next track, it displays as paused; there is no music until I press Play/Pause three times.
In /var/roon/RoonServer/Logs/RoonServer_log.txt there are no errors when it gets to the new track:

Hmm. I also have an Orchard PecanPi Streamer and playback to that has no problems.
