    Windows Media Player 12 Not Casting

    Hello. I have the same problem as the original poster. I am able to cast individual songs to Marantz receiver, but I cannot cast playlists.

    Here are some additional details. I have Windows 10 and WMP12.

    To cast a song in WMP12 I do the following:

    1. right click song

    2. select "Cast to Device"

    3. select Marantz receiver (I have other device which also appear on list of options to cast to)

    When I right click a playlist, and select "Cast to Device", the only option that comes up is "Cast to Device". In other words, "cast to device" appears a second time, none of my devices appear as in step 3 above when only trying to cast an individual song.

    I also, after applying the suggest resolutions noted in the posts above, I tried creating a new test playlist, but I couldn't cast that playlist either.

    Are there any additional steps I can take to resolve this?

    Thank you.

    Cast to device stopped working

    Hi Dale,

    Casting media files surely improves the experience. To better understand your issue, we'd like to know the following:

    • The process that you performed to cast.
    • Error messages encountered on casting.
    • The device where you intend to cast.
    • The medium (Bluetooth or Wi-Fi) that you are using to cast.
    If you are using Windows Media Player to cast, you can check the steps provided by
    Vanessa Yar on this link. To restore your PC, you can check
    the steps via this

    .

    We look forward to your response.

    Regards.

    Media player stops after each song when casting to external device

    Win 10: Media Player; Playlist Not Shuffling, or Forwarding, When Cast to Device...

    Thank you for reply...

    First:

    • Incorrect Windows Media Player settings.

    Settings appear straight forward; the intertwined arrow box is checked on main pane; however when playlist cast to device (new playlist box), I don't see that icon; only the circle - but it is not selected.

    Method 1. did not resolve issue; playlist cast to device still only automatically plays first song, does not proceed forward...

    From Method 2. - I do not find Windows Media Player in list:

    Please advise as you/team can - and thank you in advance...!
