I figured out a solution. I don't exactly know what Google cast does, but disabling it on the pro removed my issue. Im going to guess that the pro's default settings are slightly different from the mini because of the wired vs. wifi connection to my LAN for the two models.

I have 2 Wiims, a mini and a pro. I want to switch between them and play from one at a time. Using the wiim app, this is easy to do when streaming from my home music share. Using the required Spotify app to stream from spotify, the app shows a perpetual "Connecting" status when trying to switch...
