Google Home: Casting results in error ""Your session with device has ended"

[scottcmace]

From Android app, casting to Google speakers rarely works any longer.  Very frustrating, as it's the only way to reliably get a curated station to play on the Google speakers.

I've updated apps, rebooted everything, even signed out of Pandora on my phone and back in.

What gives?

Hi @scottcmace 

Welcome to community!

Sorry to hear you're having trouble casting. Sounds like you've done quite a bit of troubleshooting already. I'm happy to pass this along to our engineering team.

Can you please confirm your Android OS and Pandora version?

Thank you!

Same here, I was listening to music and I updated my subscription and after that I have the same issue.

Do they fix it for you?

Pixel 8 Pro.  Pandora fresh install.  Google Home fresh install. Google home unlink Pandora, relink Pandora. Constantly sounds like it connects, looks like it connects.  Pandora cast icon shows white, connected.  Google Home shows mini is being cast to. 

Session with device has ended.

If I click on the casting icon, it allows me to disconnect, then Pandora becomes responsive (music will play on phone).  Recast to device.  "Session with device has ended". "Oops! We are unable to connect you to Office mini at this time"

Unplugged google mini for a minute.  Replugged.  On same SSID network.  What the heck.  I see so many people with the same issue.  How do I fix?

What pisses me off, I just just got my renewal charge hit my credit card.
