Deleting a Chromecast Device

[spud]

You might want to just uncheck the enabled and leave it there in the config. My bet is that once you delete it from the plugin's config, it doesn't know you don't want it so it re-discovers it.

Uncheck "Enabled"
Manually delete any HS devices if any are left after enabling.

yes this is exactly what happened.
now in version 3.0.0.30 available from the beta section of the updater, the delete buttons in the config page will disable the chromecast, delete the associated HS devices, but keep a trace of it in the ini file, so that when it is rediscovered devices are not recreated.

Same issue here as well. If I uncheck "enabled" on a device and delete it, it recreates if HS3 or the plugin is restarted.

Plug-in version is 3.0.0.29

What I was doing was, uncheking Enabled then clicking the red X to delete.
This time I uncheked Enabled and restarted HS3 but the device still shows in Device Management screen.
Do I need to delete each of the 8 things for this device from the Device Management screen?

what version of the plugin do you run? You need 3.0.0.16 or later
the line in the config page is supposed to stay, but the devices are not supposed to be recreated

Uncheck the "Enabled" column in the config page for the chromecast you don't want to use, then delete the devices, they won't be recreated again.

I gave it a try but it came back.

Thanks, I will give that a try.

I have two Chromecast devices. I don't want to use one in the plug-in so I deleted it but it came back. Is there a way to delete it and not come back into the plug-in?

Thanks
