Hi @connor I have tested on 2 devices and neither fixes the waveform issue. It might have gotten slightly worse as well, as now it doesn’t even try to draw the waveform, which you could previously see happening and then being removed.
My LG C2 TV has recently gotten Chromecast support enabled so I tested it on this as well and like Google Displays it seems to time out and go to screen saver after 5 minutes or so. Roon is the only Chromecast app that I have used that suffers this issue. PIs this (I believe known bug) on the list to be fixed as well?

Maybe that’s the way forward here. Unable to fix, then remove it completely
It’s a reasonable point @Mr.Flibble
In this case, based on my previous testing, it works on pure Chromecast devices (though none plugged in at the moment), but it doesn’t work properly on Chromecast built in devices. These Chromecast Built In devices seem to struggle with going to screen saver due to Roon not prodding them to continue to work (surprisingly on Google’s own Display devices as well, and I assume the new Google TV Streamer too).
@connor is this something that has been investigated as well as the waveform, as we are into the fourth year of this thread now, where this has not been addressed, many users like this facility but given that pure Chromecast devices have been removed from the market, I assume this will only get worse as times goes on.
I normally use my DietPi server to display artwork now, as it is very reliable using Chrome but that is only available in one Room

What about DietPi on RPi, hooked up via HDMI using Roon Bridge and the method you use for displaying ‘now playing’ on your main server.
I bet you have a few RPi’s.
Some times when something is broken for 4 years , it’s time to move on.
I have 6 Pi’s in use including two connected to screens using RooExtend and that works nicely.
But yes it would be nice if it was fixed properly, and taking in changes in the way Chromecast is deployed now as opposed to what it was like 5 years ago
Thanks for taking a look and for your patience while testing the latest build. We have the information we need from logging thanks to these reports. Development is going to take a closer look at this issue - we plan to release an adjusting fix as soon as possible. We’ll respond once we have more details.
, it’s time to move on.
