Re: Musicbee Chromecast Plugin Reply 47 on: February 25, , PM. Hi - I wanted to thank you for this plugin! It's made Musicbee so much more useful now that I can play music from my PC to anywhere in the apartment. It all works now. Question though: I don't seem to be able to seek inside the currently playing track that is, move the playhead to a different part of the track - is that a limitation of the plugin?

from read me This tool captures the audio from your desktop or microphone and streams it to a ChromeCast Audio device. You can download an installer from the releases. After running setup. On the first run Windows will ask you to configure the firewall and this must be enabled for your home-network type public or private for audio to play. If the application doesn't find your devices please read troubleshooting. This tool can't be used to synchronize video on your desktop with audio on your devices. There's always a lag because of audio buffers on the devices and in the application.

I know this topic has been adressed. And somewhere I saw Steve stating he was busy with it. I tried the plugin and all solutions that were offered until now Unfortunately nothing works for me It would be a dream come true.

richardgm Jr. So because all of this seems to work, I'm disappointed that when I cast my tunes from musicbee, the TV only displays some information of the track but does not display any album art and no sound is coming out from my speakers on my TV. I can't figure out why the music is not coming through Winston Newbie Posts: 1. Re: Musicbee Chromecast Plugin Reply 40 on: January 05, , PM. I am unable to get the chromecast pluggin to find my Chromecast Audio on my network. Google Chrome browser on the same PC finds my Chromecast Audio and plays music from a radio station that I cast to it.

I have setup the plugin per the instructions and the trouble shooting guide, confirmed the settings, tried moving the dll to the MusicBee directory, even uninstalled and installed MusicBee, but no matter what I do when I click on Chromecast in MusicBee I get the "No Devices" dialog. Any guidance or suggestions would be very much appreciated. cjh6gc Newbie Posts: Re: Musicbee Chromecast Plugin Reply 41 on: January 15, , AM. If anyone is trying to get this to work with the store app, it can be done! It's a little complicated though. Since Windows essentially bars you from modifying anything in the WindowsApps folder where Windows Store apps are installed , you're going to have to do your work outside of Windows. I used Ubuntu Live on a flash drive, but there are numerous other ways you can do it. I didn't try this without it. Follow the instructions here to create install Ubuntu Live on a flash drive. Make note of 1 where you have Microsoft. dll saved and 2 the parent directory of musicbee.

You can find musicbee. exe's parent folder by right-clicking on it in Task Manager and selecting "Open file location". Shut down your computer and boot Ubuntu Live from the flash drive. Select Ubuntu in the first menu AFTER you've booted from the flash drive. On the next menu, choose to boot from the drive rather than installing Ubuntu. Now you should finally be into the Ubuntu desktop. Open the file manager and copy the. dll from wherever you saved it to both the same directory as musicbee. exe AND the plugins directory. I'm not sure if you need both, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Shut down Ubuntu and reboot into Windows. If your drive is encrypted with Bitlocker like mine , you'll need to follow a few more steps. BEFORE booting into Ubuntu. Save your recovery key by right-clicking on the encrypted drive in Windows and selecting "Manage Bitlocker", then "Backup your recover key".

You can either save it to a text file or to your Microsoft account. In either case, it's a long set of numbers 8 sets of 6, with dashes in between. AFTER booting into Ubuntu. Open software center, click on edit, and the software sources. Then check the box that says "Community-maintained free and open-source software universe ". Follow the instructions here to unlock and mount your drive. Copy the. dll as described above. While modifying files in the Ubuntu environment, you should be careful to not modify anything else, because you could corrupt your MusicBee or worse, Windows installation. Re: Musicbee Chromecast Plugin Reply 42 on: January 15, , PM. That seems like a lot of work when you could just switch to the portable version, but cool to know if can be done.

Would this work for any plug-in? Latest beta patch 3. Re: Musicbee Chromecast Plugin Reply 43 on: January 16, , PM. Have installed the x86 program instead of windows app. Created the firewall rule through the. exe file and cmd prompt. Created button. When I click the button my chromecast is visible in the list. But when clicking it I get two error message following each other: first "Ett undatagsfel har inträffat i målet för en aktivering" more or less, "an error exception has ocurred an the target for an activation" and then the message "Error starting the webserver. Webserver exception". I tried both copy the. dll to the MB folder and then two copies in both the MB folder and the plugin folder.

No results. What am I doing wrong? Why doesn't the server starts? PLease help. I managed to use the plugin before, but did a complete reinstallation of windows when changing my HDD to a SDD.

TRoJAnV Newbie Posts: Musicbee Chromecast Plugin on: January 03, , AM. Hey, I quickly made a plugin allowing you to cast music from Musicbee to a chromecast enabled device. The functionality is quite barebones, but was made in mind to just let Musicbee act as the controller and just send songs over. I originally intended to not post this plugin as I won't really work on this further, but I'm posting it since it can be useful to someone and I encourage anyone to simply fork the repo and develop it further if you'd like.

I now solved one problem Since I am running MB in Swedish, I needed to change "Everyone" to "Alla" Swedish for Everyone. Then cmd accepted the phrase. Everything went fine. I connect to the Chromecast and it shows a little blue chromcast icon on my tv.

But when playing music there is no sound on my tv speakers or connected hifi system. When starting the music on MB, the chromecast icon on the TV change to a moving circle, like it's waiting for something. I can see that MB is playing the file and the soundwave is changing. So it's probably trying to send sound through through the network to the chromecast. And the sound doesn't get through. After one minute the circle icon change to the blue Chromecast icon again. Sort of connected and ready. The MB is still playing, but no sound on my laptop neither. When I choose Disconnct from Chromecast, MB stops playing the song. EDIT: When pressing the Chromecast button, the volume of MB goes down to zero. That's why I didn't hear it on my laptop. So even though the icon change on the TV to moving circle when I start the music, like MB is trying to send soemthing, it's play the sound on my laptop. Since I got the Chromecast blue icon when connecting, I suppose the MB connected, which also the Status shows.

Just that it doesn't get the sound through when starting a song. So MB sends the music to Chromecast, but the sound doesn't get through Checking the chromecast status in MB everything is OK. Chromecast Connection: OK Library Set: OK Server Running: OK I tried the troubleshooting nr. g If you're able to see the files, then the chromecast will be able to as well. Everything is fine, but no sound Last Edit: March 30, , AM by marp Re: Musicbee Chromecast Plugin Reply 9 on: March 30, , AM. if you dont get a response from the plugin author, i am creating an official plugin but i havent been able to spend much time on it so it might be a few weeks off. Re: Musicbee Chromecast Plugin Reply 10 on: March 30, , AM. Wow, that's great. Now I have done everything my IT skills allow me to do. I'm learning by doing, so it always take a while to troubleshooting things, but I don't think I'll manage this. So I will definitely look out for yours.

Will you put it somewhere? Re: Musicbee Chromecast Plugin Reply 11 on: March 30, , AM. I posted a question on the his youtube video for the plugin. Don't know his alias here.

Of course, he started the thread. Thanks ��. Re: Musicbee Chromecast Plugin Reply 14 on: April 13, , AM. Finally I managed it to work by creating a rule for it in the firewall. With some help from the builder. The only strange thing was also that the sound didn't start in tv and external receiver speakers until I played next song. And also that after a few songs the sound disappears from the TV.

But checking status, the chromecast is still connected. How is your plug in coming along, Steven?
