Cannot connect to LG SK6 with built-in chromecast - Connection reset by peer during ssl.wrap_socket

[tomasrollo]

While trying to set up my new LG SK6 sounbar with built-in Chromecast I can add the LG as Chromecast in Google Home app (Android, iOS) but cannot cast to it (no application - Spotify, TuneIn, etc. is showing the LG soundbar as available to cast to).

Further analysis with pychromecast (current master -> commit 85e0b6ae...) revealed pychromecast fails to connect to the LG soundbar with error [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer during self.socket = ssl.wrap_socket(self.socket) at pychromecast/socket_client.py:310

Here's what I tried:

The LG SK6 soundbar firmware version is: Main:18081240 Micom: 18062100 Sound Effect: 161104B0 Chromecast: 1.21.75965

Is this something that can be solved or is it better to just return the soundbar...?

Here is the result of curl "192.168.1.34:8008/setup/eureka_info?options=detail"

Sorry for bringing up an old post, but did you ever resolve your issue? I have the exact same problem. Eureka Info shows setup_state 52

@aldrichang sorry, I never managed to get it work. I ended up not using the Chromecast function of that soundbar at all.
