android - NullPointerException in Google Play Services When Calling play() on RemotePlaybackClient -

this sample application of mine used work fine.

somewhere in past few months, though, google updated google play services (and chromecast itself), , when phone call play() on remoteplaybackclient chromecast, google play services crashes with:

e/androidruntime﹕ fatal exception: main java.lang.nullpointerexception @ com.google.android.gms.cast.media.aq.a(sourcefile:96) @ com.google.android.gms.cast.media.n.i(sourcefile:1856) @ com.google.android.gms.cast.media.u.run(sourcefile:2092) @ android.os.handler.handlecallback(handler.java:730) @ android.os.handler.dispatchmessage(handler.java:92) @ android.os.looper.loop(looper.java:137) @ android.app.activitythread.main(activitythread.java:5103) @ java.lang.reflect.method.invokenative(native method) @ java.lang.reflect.method.invoke(method.java:525) @ com.android.internal.os.zygoteinit$methodandargscaller.run(zygoteinit.java:737) @ com.android.internal.os.zygoteinit.main(zygoteinit.java:553) @ dalvik.system.nativestart.main(native method)

note play() phone call has desired effect, in chromecast plays media. sometime after calls itemactioncallback onresult(), aforementioned crash in google play services occurs. that, in turn, causes connection chromecast collapse, mediarouteactionprovider vanishes , have re-run app connect again, despite chromecast playing media requested.

i have tested 2 devices (nexus 4 , galaxy nexus) same results.

i have created new app, trying show image (instead of play movie, original sample), , same crash.

has seen , found workaround/fix/whatever?

as noted in comment chain, caused bug in google play services, fixed. many ali naddaf assistance!
