Add Remote Control Widget to Chromecast Playback
It would be very nice to have the typical widget display and controls ('currently playing' details and pause, primarily) while the app is playing through a Chromecast.
Possibly overriding the "x" with disconnect from Chromecast, but that is an additional upgrade on top of this feature.
The Google Play Services are automatically showing a notification for the Chromecast when Podcast addict is put in the background. This notification allows you to control the playback and/or disconnect from the Chromecast

Everything related to the Chromecast is managed by the device Google Play Services.
As soon as Podcast Addict is put in the background, the Chromecast notification controls should be displayed -

I'm having the same problem that when I play through Chromecast from my phone, there are no playback controls in the notification panel. The Chromecast controls are only available on other devices connected to the same WiFi.
Once I stop casting, the Podcast Addict controls show up in the notification panel.

I realize I may have used the wrong terminology. What I mean is the control options from the notifications pull down on Android.
