Screen blanks for a second or two when casting PNG image

[fuxoft]

I am sending PNG images to Chromecast using mc.play_media() every minute. However, sending this command immediately displays blank screen on Chromecast and it remains blank until Chromecast loads and displays the new image. Is it possible to keep displaiying the original image until the new one is prepared to replace it?

@fuxoft This must be the behavior of the default media player. The only way out would be to write a custom receiver app which can handle the image playback based on your requirements.

@fuxoft Did you find a solution for this? I see same behaviour when trying to do a slideshow with JPEGs.
