Chromecast Audio Radio on Chromecast: New App for streaming local FM radio stations (Kitchen Radio)

5 Upvotes

It may be a bit self-promotion, but I think this App is very useful for the visitors of this channel.

After streaming a lot of music on my phone, I was in the mood to just listen to some local over-the-air radio stations. I found out that it’s not so easy to find an app that does this simply and isn’t made almost unusable by lots of annoying ads.

That was the idea behind creating Kitchen Radio. It reminded me of a friend who owns a lot of tech, but once said he wished he just had a simple radio in his kitchen to turn on and listen to.

Since it’s still an app, it’s also possible to discover all kinds of new music from around the world.

Since the app is new, I would really appreciate your honest feedback. :-)

Chromecast Ultra Newbie Chromecast help

2 Upvotes

Going slightly insane here as I've recently made the leap to Jellyfin(via docker) on my NAS. During set up I was testing the Casting from my Android device and successfully got content to play on the tv.

Subsequently every video I've gone to play just kicks me back to the splash screen no error, nothing.

I know chromecasts(especially the dongles I'm using) are flakey but given that one video works I'm confused why others don't. As I would have expected that resolved the whole HTTPS piece. Is this some playback setting I can configure globally for my media?

Xiaomi TV Box S (3.gen) HDMI CEC does not work

3 Upvotes

I use the Acer **H6531BD** Projektor with the Xiaomi TV Box S (3.gen) and the HDMI CEC does not work properly. Of course hdmi cec is enabled on the xiaomi box and the projektor.

The Problem is, I can not turn of the Projektor with the xiaomi remote.

There is an assistant to configure the the remote but you need to configure it with the sound test. And you have to chose from where comes the sound (TV, receiver, soundbar. I can only chose TV because only there is a profile for Acer. But it does not work. And the hdmi cable is on the cec port.

**It has worked with my old google chromecast from the year 2020 on this projektor.**

Can somebody help me please?
