YouTube Music is an appreciable music streaming service, however, some shortcomings and sudden disappearances meet the understandable discontent of users, as in the case of the shuffle and repeat functions during casting (broadcast), introduced more than two years ago but then removed without warning.
If the first had been put back in its place a short time later, the second had ended up in oblivion, at least until a few days ago. In short, after talking to you about the new possibilities of YouTube Music social interactions, let’s see this other small change.
YouTube Music: “repeat” again during the broadcast
Just a few days ago YouTube Music users had complained that the broadcast on Android TV, Google TV and Chromecast did not work. Apparently, the fix has arrived with the latest update (on the Google Play Store it bears the date of March 24): this is what 9to5Google claims, according to which the fix has also restored the possibility of repeating songs and playlists, as well as that of using random play, during casting.
The reintroduction of the function – which currently seems to work on Android and iOS but not yet on the iPad – is also evidenced by the following screenshot. It is a pity that the distribution of the novelty described does not seem particularly widespread: the writer, for example, has not yet received it.
Or rather, YouTube Music allows you to cast to other devices (Android TV, Chromecast and even Fire TV Stick ), but – as you can see in the screenshot below – during the transmission the Repeat button is disabled (it turns gray). No problem, however, with the shuffle button: random playback works as usual.
