Please describe your bug

I'm gonna copy my absolutely forgotten post: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-chromecast/issues/357

Describe the bug

When I cast a movie, from a certain minute the Jellyfin app lose the connection to Chromecast. I don't see any progress bar and when I select "use as remote control" I see as if nothing was casting. I have to disconnect from casting, close the app, restart it, connect to chromecast, see it it's working, if not, redo the same steps until I can reconnect and take the control again.

To Reproduce

  1. Cast a movie
  2. Wait until the Jellyfin app stops showing any progress and the connection to Chromecast displays a void screen.
  3. See error
  4. Disconnect from Chromecast
  5. Close app
  6. Open app and close again because the Chromecast device is not showing up
  7. Open app
  8. Connect to Chromecast again, see if now you regained control

Expected behavior

I expect to NEVER lose the control of the casting.

Please don't create new issues when you don't get a response. We're aware of issues with the Chromecast client but we just have nobody working on it.
