What's New in Cast Audio Remote

1.7

September 1, 2026

NEW --- - Add a DLNA server by address — reach a server directly by host:port (Settings > Add Server by Address) when it isn't found on your local network, for example across a VPN like Tailscale, an HTTP proxy, or with iCloud Private Relay on. It's saved alongside your other servers for easy selection later, and shares its favorites and hidden folders with the same server when found on your local network (it's the same server, either route). CHANGED ------- - Volume — the app no longer changes your speaker's volume by itself. It simply reflects the speaker's current level and tracks it; you set the volume with the in-app slider or your device's own buttons. (The "Startup Volume" setting has been removed.) FIXED ----- - Switching servers — picking a different server now shows that server's folders right away, instead of keeping the previous server's list until you relaunched. - Another app taking your speaker — if a DLNA speaker you're playing to gets taken over by another app (e.g. Amazon Music on a WiiM), the app now stops cleanly instead of showing a phantom "playing" progress bar for a stream that isn't ours. - More reliable playback start — a little more time is allowed for playback to begin when the music is served from an external drive that has to spin up.
