# What does this implement/fix? A Cast device is released a short while after playback ends, freeing it up for other apps. Once that release has actually been sent to the device it can no longer be recalled — but the device keeps reporting the Music Assistant app as running until it answers back. A playback request arriving in that gap saw the app as already running, skipped the launch, and sent the track into a session that was about to be closed. Playback then silently never started. The same gap could also drop a dashboard that was being shown on a Cast display. The player now remembers that a release went out and starts a fresh session instead of trusting the reported state. - A new track starting right as the device is being released now plays - Showing a dashboard in that same moment no longer lands on a closing session - Cancelling a pending release now also reaches one that has just gone off **Related issue (if applicable):** - n/a ## Types of changes - [ ] Bugfix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue) — `bugfix` - [ ] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality) — `new-feature` - [ ] Enhancement to an existing feature — `enhancement` - [ ] New music/player/metadata/plugin provider — `new-provider` - [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected) — `breaking-change` - [ ] Refactor (no behaviour change) — `refactor` - [ ] Documentation only — `documentation` - [x] Maintenance / chore — `maintenance` - [ ] CI / workflow change — `ci` - [ ] Dependencies bump — `dependencies` ## Checklist - [x] The code change is tested and works locally. - [x] `pre-commit run --all-files` passes. - [x] `pytest` passes, and tests have been added/updated under `tests/` where applicable. - [ ] For changes to shared models, the companion PR in `music-assistant/models` is linked. - [ ] For changes affecting the UI, the companion PR in `music-assistant/frontend` is linked. - [x] I have read and complied with the project's [AI Policy](https://github.com/music-assistant/.github/blob/main/AI_POLICY.md) for any AI-assisted contributions. - [ ] I have [raised a PR against the documentation repository](https://github.com/music-assistant/music-assistant.io/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) targeting the main or beta branch as appropriate.
