Chromecast no longer seen as speaker client

[ZoRaC]

For a few weeks, my CCA hasn't spoken, so I had a look at it now. It probably happened after one of the recent updates.

In the settings, it is checked as a TTS and the test-button makes it talk:


When I try to run a "speak script", nothing happens:
&hs.speak("Speak testing", True, "Gang:*")

If I use the "Speak somthing" event action the speaker isn't even listed:


Instead, one of the regular CCs are listed, which isn't checked in the config to be a TTS-device...

Any suggestions?

In your "speak script" you now need to use "Chromecast:Gang" as the name of the speaker

But that doesn't explain why you don't see it in the list of speakers.
So, could you set the log level to debug, then restart the plugin and send me the logs if you still reproduce the problem.

Sirs - was there a resolution to this issue? Within the last week, my Chromecast and Google Home devices no longer appear connected within the Chromecast plugin, although my Google Home Minis continue to. Restarted the plugin in debug mode shows no errors, only connections made to my Google Minis and to a few of the speaker groups. I have made no configuration updates to my HomeSeer environment so not sure if this is related to a config change on the Google Home side. Looking for some insight to resolve this since the Chromecast plugin has worked very reliably with my Google Home technology in the past. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
