Google cast / Google home no longer working
I have been using a Play 5 with a Chromecast audio in the aux input to cast audio from my Android phone for a while now, recently casting services like Spotify and iplayer have stopped working - possibly because Google Chrome / Spotify / Sonos app are fighting for control?
To give a couple of examples:
If I open the Spotify app I can cast to the Sonos but after a little while control via the Spotify app stops working (the audio keeps playing but I am unable to play / pause etc) if I try to play a new track via Spotify it either plays through my phone or gives a message that another device is already casting and force quitting the Spotify app seems to be the only solution.
In a similar way casting from the iPlayer radio app works for a few seconds but then the audio disappears, this time I can get audio control back by going into Sonos and stopping / starting the line in source.
I have a feeling that this is all caused by a recent update to google home as this is now showing more information than before (things like the the track playing and what app/receiver is being used) but I am not sure as the Sonos and Spotify app have updated in the last couple of weeks too.
Has anyone else noticed similar issues after a recent update?
