So what happens here is that we try to connect to the chromecast using the info we got about the client from plex. When that fails, we query the network for chromecast and that fails. I just assumed that if we reached to far we should find the client. I’ll add a better error message. You need to manually test the PyChromecast package on your network.

I have added a better log so im closing this.
