chromecast ultra doesn't show up in admin screen

dothebart commented 3 years ago

Though I see "level":"info","message":"Rescan Chromecast devices" and

avahi-browse _googlecast._tcp
+   eth0 IPv4 Chromecast-Ultra-406091bcc5c70cacbca945e5370f9395 _googlecast._tcp     local

is able to see it, it won't show up in the admin screen. Is there a way to get more information here?

ok, solved, thanks to

edited the /etc/nsswitch.conf which was missing on that machine to contain files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mymachines mdns4 and

apt-get install libnss-mdns

https://github.com/superhawk610/multicast/issues/23 had this.

dothebart commented 3 years ago

ok, restarting the server then made it work.

Maybe system misconfiguration should be somehow better anounced in the logs, but I think this issue can be closed.
