Fix casting to speaker groups not working on Android

Casting music from the Spotify app on Android to pre-configured Google/Chromecast speaker groups is unreliable and often fails to connect. The music almost always fails to play.

 

Steps to Reproduce:

Open the Spotify app on an Android device.

Start playback of any song.

Tap the "Connect to a device" icon (the casting icon).

Attempt to select a speaker group (e.g., "Whole House Group").

Expected Result:

The music should seamlessly begin playing across all speakers in the selected speaker group.

Actual Result:

The connection often takes forever and then gives up.

Experiencing same problem. Pixel 10. Phone and Spotify are on latest software versions. This is a real nuisance!
