I've installed from AUR and I've tried the GitHub version. Have tried multiple versions of packages. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem!
though, this looks like an issue with pychromecast 🤔

[ghost]

aah, found something: home-assistant-libs/pychromecast#274 (comment)
Seems like it's a quirk with pychomecast 3.0, i'll try to see if I can find a workaround on my end..

[ghost]

Using source & pip instead of my system's package manager works for me 👍🏼
@caleballen Can you please check if that's the case with your system too?

[caleballen]

Hi @jaimiewashere, thanks for looking into this. I pulled the latest source and am still hitting issues with it unfortunately. Same error.

[ghost]

hmm 🤔 can't think of anything...
can you check your pychromecast version?

[caleballen]

Yea, I'm running pychromecast6.0.0

[ghost]

Oh dear.. the latest release is pychromecast 10.1.1, I think..
What application reported that version? (are you using your package manager? does re-installing pychromecast with pip3 help?)
