Android Chromecast Sender won't update title and images

[braud94]

I've followed the instruction from https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/android_sender/integrate/about on how to cast media metadata to chromecast, the initial loading is fine, it will show the title, image and play the stream, but my problem is that I am streaming a live audio stream and need to update the metadata from time to time without having to buffer the audio again. This is a sample of my code: override fun loadMediaLoadRequestData(request: PlatformBridgeApis.MediaLoadRequestData?) { if (request == null) return val remoteMediaClient: RemoteMediaClient = remoteMediaClient ?: return val mediaLoadRequest = getMediaLoadRequestData(request) remoteMediaClient.load(mediaLoadRequest) } fun getMediaLoadRequestData(request: PlatformBridgeApis.MediaLoadRequestData): MediaLoadRequestData { val mediaInfo = getMediaInfo(request.mediaInfo) return MediaLoadRequestData.Builder() .setMediaInfo(mediaInfo) .setAutoplay(request.shouldAutoplay) .setCurrentTime(request.currentTime) .build() } fun getMediaInfo(mediaInfo: PlatformBridgeApis.MediaInfo?): MediaInfo? { if (mediaInfo == null) return null val streamType = getStreamType(mediaInfo.streamType) val metadata = getMediaMetadata(mediaInfo.mediaMetadata) val mediaTracks = mediaInfo.mediaTracks.map { getMediaTrack(it) } val customData = JSONObject(mediaInfo.customDataAsJson ?: "{}") return MediaInfo.Builder(mediaInfo.contentId) .setStreamType(streamType) .setContentType(mediaInfo.contentType) .setMetadata(metadata) .setMediaTracks(mediaTracks) .setStreamDuration(mediaInfo.streamDuration) .setCustomData(customData) .build() } Does anyone have any suggestion on how to modify loadMediaLoadRequestData in order to trigger the Chromecast receiver to update only the MediaMetadata and not have the stream buffer again
