QUEUE_NEXT not working

[AndreS235]

Play und Pause works perfect with streams the are startet from youtube-music (on Android)... .but QUEUE_NEXT and _PREV does not work.

Note that YouTube Music may not be the same thing as YouTube from a media receiver standpoint. When you start a YouTube music stream from your phone do you see your node move to a "joined" status?

If so, when you connect a debug node to the output and capture a payload coming out of it, what is the value of "payload.supportedMediaCommands". It may not be advertising that it supports it.

The node moved to a joined status, it offers some nice informations, but the supportet commands is only 262339, but Play, Pause and Seek work (as i tested by now). I include the full object in the bottom.

I've found this in the code: case "QUEUE_NEXT": // bypass check as workaround of a google issue that does not add // the QUEUE_NEXT bit in supportedMediaCommands for DefaultMediaReceiver // https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/139939455 let bypassCheckNext = node.receiver.session.appId === DefaultMediaReceiver.APP_ID && status.items.length > 1; if (bypassCheckNext || status.supportedMediaCommands & 64) { return node.receiver.queueNextAsync(); }
Maybe we need an bypass like the DefaultMediaReceiver?

A "next" command is supportet for nearly every media in the "Home"-App, so i thought it works the same way here.

So while its CLAIMING to support that media command, I get a hard error back from it when I try to use it

{
  payload: {
    app: "YouTube",
    type: "QUEUE_NEXT"
  }
}

Nets me an error out of the castv2 library that the target responds with an INVALID_COMMAND. Unfortunately, I believe that means that while its advertising support, it actually doesn't accept a generic QUEUE_NEXT command.

[i8beef]

Closing as this seems like an unsupported issue with the underlying cast targets

There seems to be a solution for youtube music to trigger queue previous and queue next to control the player with a few lines (3?) of code. Can this be implemented?

Just pushed an update with that hack... Check back for v4.2.3 which should have the fix in it shortly and see if that works for you!

Edit: Scratch that, GitHub actions is failing to build again. I'm gonna have to troubleshoot build system stuff now.
Edit2: Ok try 4.2.4

Yes! Now the commands QUEUE_NEXT (next track) and QUEUE_PREV (previous track) both work with Youtube Music and Spotify. Great work! Thanks for the fast implementation. Have a good one :-)
