Issue finding Chromecast device.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I was testing my app with my four Chromecast devices and all of the sudden I 
was unable to find all my devices, then all of the sudden I could only see one 
of them. I was able to reach all of them from my computer using telnet and port 
8009. 

I am attaching part of the log. The devices all came back eventually and I'm 
not sure if this chunk of log captured everything. I also don't know if the 
devices came back on their own or if they came back because I started looking 
at them with the desktop Chromecast app. 

This happened on a Samsung GS3 with the stock Samsung ROM for Verizon 4.4.2.

Can you provide a list of steps that lead to the issue?  
Just to clarify, prior to the issue you were able to successfully find all 
devices, then you were unable to find any of them, then you could only see one 
device, and now you can see all devices?  
What firmware build are you currently using?

Which sender are you using? 
If Android, what version of Google Play Services is there? 
If iOS, what's the SDK version?

1.- Sorry I do not know how to reproduce it. While I have seen similar behavior 
in the past (some Chromecast devices missing on the list when I know they are 
online), I have never figured out what caused it. In this case I was trying to 
test issue #428 so I went over to each of my Chromecast devices and tested 
them, they all worked fine. On my way back upstairs from the basement is when I 
got disconnected from the last one I was using and started having trouble 
finding the devices. The problem continued long enough that I could hookup the 
phone to my computer and collect logs. The reason I mentioned going upstairs 
from the basement is because there is a good chance I switched APs while doing 
that. I have 3 UniFi APs. 

2.- Kinda answered above, but yes, I used all 4 just minutes before I was 
unable to find them, then I could find one (the one labeled Gym I think), and 
then eventually I could see all of them. 

3.- I did not collect the version numbers at that time but later on the day 
when dealing with issue #428 I noticed Gym was on 22062 while the rest were on 
19084. They have all updated to 22062 now.
