How to Set Up Whole House Music using Chromecasts

Support

Hi @Gary_Peaslee,

I apologize for the slow response. I actually bought myself a couple of Chromecast TV (4k model) units to test some of the features and just tested this for us.

  1. Set up speaker group in Google Home.

  2. Set my zone to be the group name I created in Google Home “Chromecast TVs”.

  3. Started music.

In both cases, my TV’s played the music but there was no track name, progress bar, artist art, or lyrics.

This is likely expected behavior. The only way to group a Chromecast zone is by using a third-party application and the application may not be properly handling all of Roon’s features as a result. I am able to utilize all of the above features when playing to the individual zones.

Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Regards,
Wes
