Just won't stop casting!

[Roger Clarke]

I seem to have an issue which rarely appeared in the past, but has become more and more frequent. I tend to use the "shuffle all songs" casting to a chromecast audio from a NAS when I'm working at the desk. The "now playing" app screen is kept "on" on a tablet, and the "casting" also appears in the desktop media notification area.

The issue is that the"now playing" screen stops advancing and freezes at the start of a track/song. However the music continues to play and shows correctly on the desktop notification! The pause/play and stop casting work correctly in this notification, but the tablet completely loses control of the cast. The CCA is shown as "not on this network", even though it continues to play music from the NAS. Even clearing the queue on the tablet makes no difference - the music plays on.

The only insight I can offer, is that it might be related to removing a track/song from the queue by swiping to the right, and perhaps the freezing occurs on reaching the missing track, but it is not easy to catch it in the act!

Any thoughts?
