v7.4.0

Overhauled Chromecast Support

Chromecast support in Tauon has received an overhaul. It now functions more like how it does in other apps. For instructions on how to use this, see wiki page here.

Specific changes:

• Now controlled by main UI controls.
• Eliminated delay that was previously present.
• Now supports album art and metadata display on TV.
• Now supports volume control.
• Now supports remote Airsonic tracks.

Note: Feature currently not enabled with Windows version

Samplerate forwarding to DAC

• You can now enable a setting "Avoid resampling", when enabled, Tauon will give the native samplerate of your media to the sound interface. Note that on Linux you'll need some additional configuration if you want this to reach your DAC. See here for details.

Other changes

• Multi disc albums now have a visual separator in tracklist
• Fixed garbled audio on Raspberry Pi
• Fixed cursor theme on Gnome Wayland
• Fixed no sound bug with certain audio devices

Chromecast doesn't work for me. I see Chromecast mode is activated, but no sound. The only sound I hear is when adjusting volume in tauon.

Also Broadcast and Chromecast options in the menu is a bit confusing.

@Taiko2k maybe it's Firewall blocking tauon?

upd: yep! It's working now!
and no delay!

I think in the wiki page there should be some info about Firewall configuration for Tauon 🤔

IIRC in the previous version Chromecast worked differently? You could cast song and at the same time listen to another song on a PC.

Yeah I changed it to not play locally to be more in line with how Chromecasting is supposed to work

But it could be a nice feature to have.
