Python Plugin: Chromecast Topic is solved

[Dnpwwo]

@Ewaldharmsen,

I couldn't get 'Chromecast.start()' to work either in my plugin and could not work it out.

I used 'Chromecast.socket_client.start()' instead and it did the trick. Still don't know why though...

I think the best thing you can do is:
sudo rm -r /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/ChromecastPlugin/
sudo pip3 uninstall pychromecast
cd domoticz/plugins
git clone https://github.com/Tsjippy/ChromecastPlugin
sudo pip3 install pychromecast
sudo pip3 show pychromecast

make sure cd /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/pychromecast/ exists.

something is still going wrong after reinstall, these are the switches it made:

followed the instructions and when enabling the plugin, again it starts respawning.

Code: Select all

ps -ef | grep domoticz
root       690     1 16 15:48 ?        00:00:16 /home/pi/domoticz/domoticz -daemon -www 8900 -sslwww 443

When disabling the plugin, it does disconnect from the devices with the following info:
2019-03-26 15:50:18.088 (Chromecast) Setting device 22 as timed out
2019-03-26 15:50:18.091 (Chromecast) Setting device 23 as timed out

Strange I have the same versions. Can you try disabling the other plugins and removing and reinstalling the Chromecasts plugin?

@Ewald

Reinstalled the plugin and now it is running like never before. Thanks a lot.

@Ewaldharmsen thanks for your reply!, I tried this, but get the following message: Requirement already satisfied: requests in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages

Do I have to include this in the python path? And if yes, how do I do this?

[Ewaldharmsen]

You should update to the latest Domoticz beta version

[peterenderest]

Thanks! It works now smoothly!

Keep getting this error. It is like the attribute start has been removed or something?

Domo version V4.10590 (I beleive I'm on beta? )

Any ideas?
