Disable Chromecast

[Achim1811]

A short one. I noticed that once Chromecast is enabled (by error, while playing around) in the settings there is no switch to disable it again. Because it is under the "voice" submenu...does it matter? I do not and will not use CC.
And because I had to learn that everything has an influence on everything I would like to have as less everything as possible

...then I guess factory reset is your friend ;-)

Hi Achim1811,

Google doesn't allow disabling the Chromecast without the full device restore. Thus, please put the device to factory setting by "Pressing and holding" the Play button for 10 seconds until you hear the voice prompt "Restore to factory settings". Thank you!

Done!
Thank you WiiM and @Mrz7kN

Hi ,
I have done the factory reset, but in the start sequenze of the Wiim Pro Home app there was setting an "enabled" and there was no way to deselect this.

 

[Achim1811]

It will only be "enabled" the moment you select the "enable" button.

As long as it looks like this Chromecast is not active on your WiiM. So if you want to avoid any interferences with or by Chromecast stay away from the green word

Good to know , thanks, will be careful when playing around.

One way to tell for sure I guess... does it show up as a CC device in other apps?

1. Please make it possible to disable Chromecast entirely.

2. Chromecast is actually available before it is enabled. When playing in Tidal my WiiM Pro shows up as a Chromecast output before I enabled Chromecast.

3. I don't actually care if Chromecast is enabled on my WiiM or not, what is more important for me is to remove it from the output list on my clients. So please make it possible to disable Chromecast broadcast on the network.

Not doubting you, but I've not experienced (2)
Should be able to 'disable' CC by resetting the wiim and not enabling it on setup. Except (2)...

Disabling Chromecast by resetting to factory settings isn't ideal.

Not disagreeing, but that's how it is!

Perhaps I enabled it before and there was some changes in the WiiM app, but today the app asked me to enable it and it was already present as a cast option on my client. Given it was available I thought I had to enable it to be able to remove it entirely, thus bringing me to this thread which shows it is not possible.

Yep. I think, this has been pretty clear:
