Casting still seems to be a can of worms for me. I've
had a few issues with it, and I don't use it very often.
But I was just able to cast a whole Album just now, about 40 minutes, with no issues.
Then I tried to get JRemote2 to cast a movie, and that was just difficult. The sequence to get JRemote2 to select a movie to play so that you can then select cast and play, just wasn't consistent. I can't select Cast and then just play a movie, or add it to Playing Now and then play what is in Playing Now. JRemote2 just won't add anything to Playing Now while in Cast mode. I suspect once I have been pressing buttons for a while that JRemote2 just gets confused and gives up. When selecting Casting to my TV, the TV did acknowledge that "JRiver JRemote" was casting to it, but without something in Playing Now to play, or without it justing playing a movie once casting is selected, nothing happens on the TV.
Mind you, I did manage to get the movie to start playing once, and it stopped with the spinning icon after a couple of minutes. I tried again with the low video quality video setting. Same result. Dragging the position slider to a new position does get the movie started again at the new spot, but it still stops again in a couple of minutes. I didn't diagnose beyond that.
This isn't a big issue for me, but
if someone can share the correct sequence of buttons pushes to get JRemote2 to cast to a TV, that would be a great start. At least then if it works for someone else, but not for me or xtacbyme, we know it is probably our environment.

Note that I do seem to have some network issues, which may contribute to my issue.
Also note in the linked thread that I had to reboot my TV to get it working last time, but didn't do that this time. The TV was responding so JRemote2 though, so it didn't seem to need a reboot, and I did get a couple of other movies to start playing. I think the TV capabilities and stability using Chromecast are also a contributor to the problems.
