2 years ago I am also getting this error on Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon.
mkchromecast correctly detects the Chromecast but then fails to display anything (or play any audio)
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, installing from the .deb file (matches the installed version)
FWIW: I made the mistake of running mkchromecast with 'sudo mkchromecast -t' in the attempt to see if it is a permissions error:
Mkchromecast v0.3.8.1

Hello Muammar,
I get as far as the program recognizing my Chromecast on the Terminal or GUI but no connection. Terminal did give me this message:
Note: I deleted the MAC ID for the Chromecast and IP Address since this is public. [record[a,in-unique,(MAC ID Deleted for Security).local.]=120/119,(IP Address Deleted for Security):8009] Failed to connect, retrying in 5.0s
I'm currently using Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon 64-bit.
