Dear Pandora,                  IT appears you still have severe software quality control issues with app version 2209.1. Find below just a few of the more egregious software errors I have noticed. I would be happy to assist your software development team learn proper verification procedure. (1) Problem: User termination of Pandora while actively Chromecasting results in loss of the "handle" to the active Chromecast session, resulting in complete loss of control of the then, "ZOMBIE" Chromecast session. The only way to terminate a ZOMBIE Chromecast session is to physically disconnect the Chromecast master device from it's power source. How many users will know which Chromecast device is the master? 😉 ha ha ha Solution: When an application is terminated, it is customary to delete all dynamic structures and objects created during runtime including in the Pandora case, sending a message to the Chromecast master to terminate the session. That's not too much of a difficult task to ask for, is it? (2) When Pandora plays an advertisement, it pumps up the volume. After the advertisement ends, the volume is left at the then elevated level. What a nuisance. Solution: How about politely reverting to the user supplied volume setting after the add? Better yet, stop pumping up advertisement volume in the firs place. It's rude and compels Pandora users to switch to YouTube, Spotify and other streaming apps. Best wishes - Usysinc ++ Dear Pandora,                 On further analysis re, "User termination of Pandora while actively Chromecasting", it appears that Pandora indeed spawns a "headless Pandora instance" on user app termination during a Chromecast session. It often takes quite some time for the Google Home app to eventually re-connect with the "headless Pandora instance". In the mean time, the user is left with an uncontrollable ZOMBIE Chromecast session. Of course when Google Home does eventually re-connect to the "headless Pandora instance", the user can then control volume and speaker group individual elements, pause the "headless Pandora instance" or terminate the instance by terminating the Google Home app. Moderator Edit: Changing title for clarity ...

Congratulations Pandora on your software engineering fix for Pandora over Chromecast. Loyal Pandora fans rejoice. Yeah!!!!! ... View more

There's nothing you can do about the situation until Pandora fixes it, or not. ... View more

Google is probably demanding some more revenue sharing from Pandora. 🤣🤣🤣 ... View more

Yeah, Pandora over Chromecast is a real success story. Now that Pandora is a completely lame duck, we all lament, "It could have been a lot worse". 🤣🤣🤣 ... View more

Yesterday I verified that Pandora, for me, no longer Chromrcasts AT ALL but rather crashes immediately. Great job Pandora app software engineers, for an out of scope function call to the NULL pointer. Dear Pandora, hire me for $$$. I'm a top notch hardware software engineer and can fix the problem which probably has more to do with the recent Android update from the incompetent Google H1B sortware team.🤣🤣🤣 ... View more

I'm assume (moderator), you agree with my pronouncements and solution. 🤣🤣🤣 ... View more

Multi-device Chromecasting, comes and goes at the whims of Google. 😉 When you stream music or video to multiple Chromecast devices, "one" of the devices must become the streaming master over the others in the group. It appears that if you unpower one of the devices from within a group, then the master device gets the message. The ultimate solution: UNPLUG and REBOOT from the USB power source, one or more of your Chromecast devices and try again. Rebooting at least one chromecast device seems to put them all back in an operational reset condition. Respectfully, Brendan Graham mod edit: removed personal information ... View more
