There are no controls on the phone, but there are controls on the TV if you want to scrub. This is due to the extended controls being off in the library i'm using. I've asked for an easier way to turn them on here: react-native-google-cast/react-native-google-cast#538

@fredrikburmester would this be something to consider? Or is it unrelated to your implementation? https://react-native-google-cast.github.io/docs/components/ExpandedController

[fredrikburmester]

Yes i've looked into, and tried, the expanded controller. Though it requires native code. That's fine, but i've asked them to include that code via an expo plugin config here: react-native-google-cast/react-native-google-cast#538

I could include the expanded controller regardless, but it's more for me to manage.

Have put up a PR with the expanded controller implemented, it's an option for the meantime #106

+1 I would also really love to see Chromecast controls getting added to the app!

Thanks for the great work btw :-)

Saw that the new full controls were pushed as a release! They work great and really make the casting experience 1000x better. Thanks for all the hard work guys!
I'll leave the ticket for you to mark as closed, yeah?
