No PAUZE event

[JGoor]

Hi,

For my ChromecastV2, the PLAYING event is generated (Netflix).
When I pause Netflix, I used to get a BUFFERING event but not anymore.
YouTube however still provides me with 'PLAYING' and ' PAUSED' .

So something seems broken in the Netflix flow.

Eg. when I use YouTube and switch to Netflix, or I start a Netflix stream for the first time, the debugger shows the following output:

10/31/2021, 5:08:50 PMnode: c402913b466341b7msg.payload : Object
{ mediaSessionId: 1, playbackRate: 1, playerState: "IDLE", supportedMediaCommands: 4303, volume: object … }

msg.payload : Object
{ mediaSessionId: 1, playbackRate: 1, playerState: "PLAYING", currentTime: 1.235, supportedMediaCommands: 4303 … }

After that, it only shows 'PLAYING' but never ' BUFFERING' anymore.
Can you help out?

As Netflix is not a directly supported application here, you are leaning on the "generic" application support. For COMMANDS it will accept and send through any "generic media commands" the app claims to support (supportedMediaCommands: 4303). For EVENTS, it's whatever the app publishes, and it sounds like the Netflix app has decided to change what it publishes.

There is nothing I can really do for that.

Closing as this is a usage issue with distinct application, not a general cast issue.
