I am getting this error in the startup log after upgrading to 4.1.1.2.

What plugin version?

What plugin version?

Alex, it is 3.0.0.59. I was on a earlier version, I think 53, and I upgraded to 59 but I got the same error.

Alex, it is 3.0.0.59. I was on a earlier version, I think 53, and I upgraded to 59 but I got the same error.

Ok, it looks like some device info is missing. Can you please post your AKGoogleCast.ini file.

I checked the source code - the error shouldn't prevent the plugin from working. What's you observation? What doesn't work?

[alexbk66]

Alex, it is 3.0.0.59. I was on a earlier version, I think 53, and I upgraded to 59 but I got the same error.

Thank you for providing your config file. As I suspected, the first entry is wrong. Please delete it and change the other entries indexes (0 to 3).

Also, ver 3.0.0.60 (BETA) I added more error checking. Added bonus - multiple configurable selection of Zeroconf discovery providers incl. Bonjour (if you are on Windows)

The first "warning" is just info - which Zeroconf provider was selected.
The last one is caused by the wrong config entry.

I am unable to change the ini file. My computer says I need admin rights and I have tried to change the rights but it still comes up not letting me. I tried right clicking on the file but there is no selection for "open as admin". haven't come across this one before. Any idea why open as admin wouldn't show up?

Never mind. I recreated the file with the changes and copied it back into the HS4 folder. I rebooted PI. Still getting the last error as in post 6.

Still getting the last error as in post 6.

Strange. Can you check your ini file again?

[cowinger]

Strange. Can you check your ini file again?

After I rebooted PI it came back.

I don't think it "came back" - I suspect it didn't go away as you couldn't edit the file. It's created by HS running as admin, that's why you need to be admin to edit it.

May be try to stop HS first, then see if you can edit it. And just in case delete the ini.bak file.

In any case you can ignore the warning.

[cowinger]

Ok, I stopped PI and was able to change the ini file. Deleted bak file. Rebooted and I don't see the error anymore. Thanks for the help.

[alexbk66]

No problem
