Chromecast - duplicate entries appearing as casting targets #512

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I'm trying to cast videos from YouTube application to TV using Chromecast. I 
observed that Sometimes YouTube app display duplicate entries as casting 
targets and same issue is observed in 'Play Music' app as well.

What is the reason behind it, is there any bug with YouTube app or Cast SDK?
OR
Do I need to update any services to prevent this?

Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a discovery issue.  Have you looked at the discovery 
troubleshooter? https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/discovery
However, the YouTube app doesn't necessarily use the same discovery mechanisms 
as other Chromecast apps, so you should contact the YouTube team regarding that 
issue. If they can confirm that this is a Chromecast issue, let us know and we 
can reopen the ticket.

I compared the YouTube app with MediaRouter sample app and observed that 
MediaRouter app just displaying actual chromecast devices whereas YouTube app 
displaying duplicate devices at the same time. 

Posted query to YouTube Team but they are not responding. :)

Are you sure that YouTube app use different discovery mechanisms instead of 
using google-cast-sdk mechanism?

That was confirmed by Ali Naddaf.  According to your most recent comment, the 
issue seems to be showing up on YouTube v10.05.6 and not in v5.3.32, which 
suggests to me that this is a YouTube issue and not a Cast issue. If you find 
an issue that directly relates to the SDK, feel free to bring it up here. 
Otherwise, please continue to post your questions and concerns on Stack 
Overflow.
