start of video on Chromecast starts video successfully but the app gets stuck on the videolist with infinite spinner . No way to control video.
Fairphone4 with current A12.
Using Chromecast with other apps is no issue.

I have the same issue. I am using a Redmi Note 12 Pro with Android 13.

From my side, I have tried to cast using:

• version 2.987: An endless spinning wheel appears (trying to load the controls?) while the cast video starts in the TV screen. Since the controls do not load, you have no control. Moreover, minimizing the app makes it fail and if you reopen the app it crashes instantly. The app will keep crashing on reopen until you stop the casting on the TV screen.
• version 2.986: The controls appear in the phone screen, but the video does not load, and the TV screen is black.

I was able to get a stack trace of the error after it crashes on reopen:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: TypeToken must be created with a type argument: new TypeToken<...>() {}; When using code shrinkers (ProGuard, R8, ...) make sure that generic signatures are preserved.

Having same issue with 2.987 Extra in Android 11 since that version came out. App will start video in Chromecast but SkyTube Extra itself will crash after few time. Still SkyTube keeps streaming to Chromecast while crashing itself. After SkyTube Extra crash we can use Google Home to manage video audio volume, scrolling video.
