When playing audio tracks on the Default Media Receiver, the title of the application ("Default Media Receiver") is displayed on the otherwise very beautiful page on the Chromecast device when playing audio tracks. It starts up faster, and the Cast icon on the startup page instead of my app name is nicer.Įxcept for one small irritating detail. I rather prefer the appearance of the Default Media Receiver. (Yes, a change of hosting services is in the wind. So I'm stuck with a choice between styled receiver/no stylesheet, and the Default Media Receiver.
They won't do it unless I upgrade to dedicated IP address even for a self-signed cert, at considerable expense). I'm having difficulty getting my website hosting service to enable SSL.

We hope Google includes adds the repeat and shuffle function to the new music player in a future update since the aforementioned flag is set to expire soon.Īs always. It involves heading over to chrome://flags and changing the “Media App Handles Audio” option from Default to Disabled. What kind of a change is that? Why are they removing quintessential features that were already there to begin with? Even YouTube playlists have a shuffle feature, a music player doesn’t? This is the most bare-bones a music player could possibly be and I’m struggling to see how this is an improvement to the old one.Īs it turns out, there is a temporary workaround for those wanting to revert to the old music player on Chrome OS 97. Second of all is the fact that there no longer seems to be a shuffle feature. Be sure to check out our our short skills video Using Google Chrome as a Media Player (Note: You will need an OTIS for educators account to access these videos). By following any of the above methods, you have a simple way to play media files within Google Chrome. It seems like that’s how most other music players operate anyway. Drag the file onto the Google Chrome desktop icon to open it. Now that’s not that terrible but I have to wonder why they did this, if you wanted to have different “playlists”, then you could just put every song into different folders like I’ve been doing for the past four years. I have two main gripes about it, first off is that you have to manually select every single music file yourself instead of just playing everything in one folder. I’m not a big fan of this new one at all, it seems much more counterintuitive than the old one. I’m not sure if this change is just on my end or if everyone is stuck with this now, but they seemed to have removed the old music player and replaced it with a new one on the Gallery. Many are also wondering if there’s a way to bring back the previous version. While users say they do appreciate the much-needed visual overhaul, some say that the old music player was better in terms of usability. However, users who updated to Chrome OS 97 are now reporting that the new Gallery app music player is missing some core functions such as the repeat button and the ability to shuffle the playlist. It brings in a new fullscreen experience along with a ‘Now Playing’ queue and the option to rewind or skip the song by 10 seconds. The new update brings an updated Gallery app that allows users to play their favorite music from within the app.
That being said, Google recently released Chrome OS 97 for those having a Chromebook. With the Google Chrome browser as its principal user interface, the Chrome OS is based on Gentoo Linux.
