Chromecast keeps playing after clicking "stop casting" in default MediaRouteControllerDialog

Clicking on the "stop casting" button in the default dialog used by MediaRouteButton triggers the callbacks for SessionManagerListener::onSessionEnded and dismisses the Chromecast notification controls. However the video keeps playing on the TV.

I'm also using the com.google.android.exoplayer2.ext.cast.CastPlayer to start the Chromecast. The SessionAvailabilityListener::onCastSessionUnavailable callback is triggered as well.

This problem doesn't happen when using the close button of the Chromecast notification.

What happens when you click on the "stop casting" button is that this method MediaRouter::unselect is called. What you need to do is listen to when that happens and end the current session manually.

Here's an example:

MediaRouter.getInstance(context).addCallback(
    MediaRouteSelector
        .Builder()
        .addControlCategory(MediaControlIntent.CATEGORY_REMOTE_PLAYBACK)
        .build(),
    object: MediaRouter.Callback() {
        override fun onRouteUnselected(
            router: MediaRouter?,
            route: MediaRouter.RouteInfo?,
            reason: Int
        ) {
            if(reason in listOf(MediaRouter.UNSELECT_REASON_STOPPED, MediaRouter.UNSELECT_REASON_DISCONNECTED)) {
                CastContext.getSharedInstance(context).sessionManager.endCurrentSession(true)
            }
        }
    }
)
