I'm developing a custom chromecast app, and one of the chromecast devices I'm testing with will timeout (or go to the screensaver for a different reason) exactly 5 minutes after casting no matter what I try.

The sender still thinks it's connected, and audio playback persists, but the video switches to the default google cast image slideshow.

I've tried every suggestions in both these other questions

but nothing works.

In desperation, I switched the receiver ID to the default receiver and even that times out, even during media playback. Pressing play/pause/stop buttons periodically doesn't keep the receiver from timing out either. I don't think I can communicate how frustrating this has been.

The only thing I know that works is casting with a different app like youtube. The youtube app will stream for hours without timing out, so it's definitely something with my app, but at this point I don't even know what steps I could take to debug further.

Any information or help would be very appreciated.
