Google Cast Integration doesn't detect paused state when cast from HA

The problem

HomeAssistant doesn’t detect when something cast to a Google Nest Hub (gen 2) as paused when initiated from Home Assistant.

Replicate:

• Cast dashboard to screen
• Media State updates to playing (correct)
• Swipe away dashboard, still “playing” (should be “paused”)

Expected behavior:

• Cast youtube/etc to device from phone/etc
• Media state updates to playing (correct)
• Swipe content away on screen, media state updates to “paused”, (correct)

Not sure why but when casting from HA, it doesn’t detect paused state (see screenshot) - is this intended behavior? I attached the affected script I’m using, but affects anything else that is relying on state not being “playing” when it’s not.

I have a Google Nest Hub v2 and can confirm that Home Assistant does not show the cast Lovelace/dashboard as paused when you swipe away.

Home Assistant relies on the chrome cast device signalling that it’s been paused.
