It's one of those things that came up but didn't make it into the release. You can get around it though with chromecasts screen mirroring feature. Just mirror the phone while playing from cache. rtrt wrote:Playing around with casting and can only cast the live stream.
When I try to cast a block stored locally on my Amazon hd8, the audio switches to local playback with no interaction from me.
Seems like I should be able to cast any/all audio - no?

First I would like to say thank you for this app, it is fantastic! We use the app on a Android tv box for home listening with a USB output to a Emotiva XDA-2 DAC and the flac stream sounds fantastic on our stereo system. We have an old monitor connected so we can watch the slideshow.
The one problem we have is when first starting the system in the morning the USB audio does not work. It seems to be a issue with waking up or initializing the USB audio out. The workaround I have found is to open an app called USB audio player pro, it wakes up the USB audio out and acquires the DAC connection. I then shut it down and open RP app. Once it is running it will stay connected until the system is shut down and then I need to go through the procedure again. I have tried re-plugging the USB cord and just about every other option I can think of but it seems it needs a software solution.
Would it be possible to have the RP app check for USB audio option on startup?
The reason why we prefer the android app is because of our spotty internet. The option to buffer ahead prevents skipping and drop outs.
TIA Gerry

The download issue is probably routing issues with the cache server. You'll find the connection more reliable during certain times of the day. We'll be trying to improve that. Regarding the song info changes, that will probably get an overhaul at some point. And the old version is not recommended as it will stop working in the near future. It was the last RP app still using an older system for managing song files that will be phased out. Contaminator wrote:So, I just checked my phone and saw that after initial 12 hour block and aforementioned cache download issue I currently have 29 hours of music already downloaded and 769 songs on download pending. At the moment I will not resume download as 29 hours is more than enough for now, and also I do not want to overflow memory on my phone. Therefore, I gather that there was some kind of glitch but the download went on although I got notification mentioned in my previous comment. Maybe it is something worth looking in.
One other thing I really dislike is the new Song Info feature. Namely, in the previous app, when I downloaded cache block and listened to music offline I could see lyrics, song comment etc. Now when I listen cache block music offline when I click on the song all I get is the basic text info (artist, song name, album title, and rating). I hope this is some kind of temporary issue and that you will try to solve the problem and make song info and comments visible in offline mode as before. If not I would once again strongly urge you to make previous version of RP app available for download.

Cache block issue still persists (can't make separate blocks). What's more, there is another issue with it: after I downloaded one block I tried to download another one but it can not be done (I get a notification on my phone to "Stop Filling Cache" which never happened before, and afterwards there is an additional notification on RP's app homepage which reads "Download error: connection timed out" although my internet connection is fine, so I guess that it might be a temporary thing with RP server in Europe). I'll keep my eye on this and will inform about it in the days to come. jarro, many thanks for adding Slideshow and Screen options, very useful.

This is a kudos post! I'm not going to ask for anything, I swear. (well, maybe one thing...)
I have always loved RP and enjoyed the simplicity of the last version of the Android app. That said, I did want a couple things changed. I wanted to be able to listen to the other fine radio feeds that were available on the website. I also wanted to choose whether or not the screen stayed on when the app was active.
I am absolutely thrilled that both those concerns have been addressed. In the process, the app has retained its simple and intuitive interface. It took a bit for me to figure out how to "go live" (Sync), which was my only concern with the new app. I'm now quite happy!
So what do I want? Please have the app open to the Bill & Rebecca desert picture as it did before! They are Radio Paradise, so they should be front and center, both in the app and in our minds while using it.
Thank you again!

I've started a new topic for bluetooth metadata since it has and will be be an ongoing issue for years. There are a few things people have found that can help. Will try to get some info for that organized. https://radioparadise.com/comm...Regarding the music app list, I'm not sure how it is generating that. But my hunch is it is just the apps that are registered to play digital audio files, that shouldn't have any affect on metadata support. left_channel wrote:Apparently my Toyota RAV4 EV is one that doesn't. When connected it lists Qobuz, Tidal, Google Play, VLC, and other music apps on my Android phone, but does not list the RP app even though I have played music from it over the Bluetooth several times, so it's no surprise it doesn't display metadata from RP. jarro wrote:That was tested a fair bit during beta and should be working. But there are definitely some stereo / phone combos that don't display metadata reliably / at all. left_channel wrote:Much improved! Hope there's time for a feature request now: metadata over Bluetooth? When I play the app in my car, the console screen does not show station, album, or track.

You are not alone. I've posted a comment about a few bugs 4 days ago - sleep mode issue also mentioned - but still no answer from jarro. Updated app today, photo slideshow still appears although I've unchecked Slideshow option.

Thanks Jarro!
Something has changed! :-) I still see "resume download" but underneath those lines it says now: ([>] RP Main Mix @ Med (64k) [bin] 103 Hours 42 Mins Whoop! Whoop! I'm not trying it now (avoiding the risk in resetting the cache) but once in flight I will! It is now the London to Sydney flight though...
Blackbirds wrote:The "224" does not count down... storage now at 2.70 GB. If every song is about 12 MB... then we should be almost there (I cannot recall the bitrate, I never do the highest with all the driving/flying noise it is pointless to use the best rates). Tried Android Auto (after first stopping Podcast Addict and starting RP): https://imgur.com/LLlZ18gOnly the "main" channel in my Ahead Buffer. The work around is to fill that buffer to the max tomorrow :- )
