    Hello! What's the best way to reproduce this? When I try casting music from youtube music or spotify, it just opens each respective android tv app and plays it there.

    Any particular app in mind that uses the mediashell package like you mentioned? Thanks!

      Thanks for your reply. Oh, can't try right now, but probably when the device is part of a chromecast group it makes use of the mediashell package.

      I have many groups and use my chromecast also for my main audio playback needs around the house.

      With the Google launcher, a separate tile appears when music is being played via the mediashell package to access the media controls.
