# What does this implement/fix? <!-- Quick description and explanation of changes. --> Two small fixes for Cast players, found while investigating a separate issue. 1. When a Cast device fails to play what it was given, it tells us, but Music Assistant ignored the message. The player just went quiet and nothing was logged. Now a warning is written saying which player failed and what it was trying to play. This would have cut the investigation on the linked issue from two weeks to one log file. 2. The "Use Music Assistant Cast App" setting was ignored whenever the device was already running the other receiver app. Changing the setting appeared to do nothing, which sent the investigation down the wrong path. Now the app the user picked is always the one used. **Related issue (if applicable):** - related issue <link to issue> ## Types of changes <!-- Tick exactly one box.
