Disconnecting from ChromeCast doesn't stop the video playback

My users are complaining that when they click the disconnect after playing a video, it does not stop the video.

Is that something the CastCompanionLibrary should be doing or do I need to trap the disconnect and do it myself?

I thought maybe by the time I get the disconnect event it is probably too late for me to be telling the app to stop the video playback.

CCL can do that if needed, but it is advised that you implement this in the receiver logic. I have explained the proper way of doing that in this post. Back to the first statement I made, you can use the following API to instruct the CCL to stop the running app on disconnect:

mVideoCastManager.setStopOnDisconnect(true)

You need to call that somewhere early from your application, say when you create the VideoCastManager singleton. But as I said earlier and is explained in the referenced post, that is not the proper way of doing that.
