When it can support speaker group? I have five Google home in my house and I put them in a group. How can I autocast to the group? I try to add the group as a device and cast to the group, but it never worked for me.... Can you provide some support to me? Thanks.

Thanks for the quick response: Needed to switch to autocast's "best guess" action, and now it works again. Original text: It seems that autocast stopped working after the last Chromecast update (for me today). Normally it is a fine app. I use it to select radio broadcasts from my tablets desktop. Casting from windows and other apps still works fine, but the autocast / tasker combination stopped (android 10). New version of Chromecast was evident because the cast sound signal changed. Chromecast audio firmware: 1.56.281627 Older version 1.42.172094 still works fine

You say that this can cast YouTube playlists, but I don't see how. There is nothing in the settings anywhere for YouTube. The website has no instructions for AutoCast and there is nothing in the forums. The most helpful thing has been the video tutorial (v=iRlCsEWKxnc) but what it shows doesn't match what I am seeing in the app. In the video, they click on "AutoCast Other App". But in Tasker, when I click on plugins, I see just "AutoCast" which I click on and there is "App" which I assume is supposed to be the same thing. But on the configuration screen the video shows a "YouTube Url" field, but I don't have that option at all. I only have "Cast Device" (which makes sense), "AutoCast Service" and "Keep Current Screen" (which are check boxes); and a bunch of persistent notification settings. I have no idea what this Action is supposed to be used for. I went through the other possible actions and nothing looked like it would work. The only hint I have is that it seems there could be some JavaScript I could enter into a Free Form Data field that might work, but I have no idea what to put in there... I was able to use this to cast a 1 local audio file, which was nice.

I was hoping to auto-cast audio to a speaker, but the app tells me they're all invalid except for the Chromecast. While I understand this app is designed for video, the casting icon and the mention of casting audio implies more. I can't imagine why I'd want to cast audio to my TV instead of my always-on speakers, or my Onkyo receiver. Developer: add this oversight, make it work well, and I'll change this review.
