Status on Google Groups sayings "buffering" on occasion..

[wpiman]

I am triggering some simple speak events to my Google Speaker groups. Sometimes, it works fine. Other times, it says "buffering" and sits there for a long period of time. I noticed similar things with the GoogleCast plugin as well. Any ideas?

Attached as file. I have a simple event to just speak something from each of the plugins to speaker group.

It didn't work at one point, then I logged into the app and saw that group was casting-- so I stopped it. I then spoke and there was a long delay, but it worked.

Your plugin gives a lot more feedback which makes it worth it.

I was just typing this and another announcement came through from the test event. Maybe 2 minute delay, and the Google Home app didn't show anything being stuck casting. Odd.

What does "changing media" mean? I bought some new Amazon TVs and I wonder if that is messing with Chromecast or something?

I copied this from your HS3 thread, correct?

Yes. I am experiencing the issue on both plugins.....

I followed up here as well with someone else seeing something similar...

I have strong wifi so I can ping the speakers just fine...

Couple of updates.... I notice occasionally Google would change the whole house default IP address. My guess is it picks whatever one has had the best and most stable connection...

That may or may not lead to the errors. But I am seeing this in the log now.....
