I’ve just published v1.2.0 which contains the following additions:

• Extra error logging when debug option is enabled in plugin @suchalaugh
• Custom hostname and port option for TTS in plugin settings @carlptr
• Added CurrentApp attribute which contains the active app on the Chromecast device

@frostedkiwi very cool, thanks!

@frostedkiwi
Cheers for that, unfortunately it doesn’t seem to bring me any closer to this.

Here is the output of this after restarting pimatic:

(Please note that it’s perfectly fine that the Chromecast HDMI is not responding as it’s currently without power)

At 22:41 i started to stream music from spotify alternately to Chromecast Audio Zimmer and Chromecast Audio Küche, it doesnt seem to appear anywhere in the debug log.

I found a small bug and created a pull request to fix it: https://github.com/FrostedKiwi/pimatic-chromecast/pull/1

Please support resolving variables when casting texts: https://github.com/FrostedKiwi/pimatic-chromecast/issues/2

Thank you in advance!

Both issues have been fixed in 1.2.2

I’ve just pushed v1.3.0 which has two changes:

• Support for Chromecast groups
• Fix for a bug where the devices would not go to a stopped state properly (reported by @suchalaugh)

This does fix it indeed, cheers mate, appreciate it
