Open CaptainMorgan12 opened 1 year ago

CaptainMorgan12 commented 1 year ago

Similar to #401

Chromecast connected using Wifi connection to desktop:

environment: mkchromecast 0.3.9, pulseaudio v 1:16.1, wifi connection to chromecast audio device only ipv 4 DHCP, ipv 6 automatic, chromecast device Model RuX-J42, Gnome v 1:42+8, internet on desktop through ethernet;

Install mkchromecast, reboot, launch, Search for Media Streaming Devices, None Found.

However the device IP ipv4 and ipv6 for the chromecast device is exposed on the local WIFI network and reachable 192.168.255.253.

Are there any ports i need to open?
