Checking for Media Status help_outline
(Media Status messages are sent from the receiver to update senders on current receiver status and are usually in response to commands on the media namespace. E.g. Play, Pause etc. If you use the Cast receiver SDK provided Media Manager to handle incoming media messages in your receiver application, this should work automatically (unless you have explicitely overriden the behavior). If you are managing messages on the media namespace without the Cast SDK provided Media Manager, please make sure that you send out media status messages for all incoming commands in the media namespace.

Once you have issued a few media commands, please scroll to the Logs section to see if you received Media Status messages from your receiver application. These messages look like "Received MediaStatus update on media namespace"
