Chromecast failure on Laptop

Post by Hans van der Hoeven »

MMW5 works but only via the built in speaker system.
When I select Chromecast the system hangs on my Lenovo L430 laptop with 4 Gb internal memory.
But on my HP desktop with 8 Gb MMW5 runs perfectly with Chromecast. Do I have to buy a new memory card for 8 Gb?

Which Build (Help > About) are you using?

4GB is really low nowadays (Firefox alone is using that much on my PC right now). How much free memory do you have before starting Chromecasting?

Hi,
Since 2 weeks I extend my memory to 8 Gb. But still it wo'nt work on my Lenovo L430
I see after 15 seconds: The audio player is not available or switched off
I am using the standard free download 5.0.4 2693
And also I tested MMW on my HP desktop and it's running fine!
I also download Window Media Player but it did not help
When I use VLC Mediaplayer I can stream perfectly to my audio set

Please try with the latest MediaMonkey 5.1 beta and see if this resolves it for you. Does it?
