Problem with mkchromecast

[RoiBurgonde]

Hello,

i’d like to cast music on a chromecast speaker so i installed mkchromecast. But it doesn’t work.

When i launch mkchromecast in terminal :

mkchromecast                                                     ✔ 
/usr/share/mkchromecast/mkchromecast/cast.py:111: SyntaxWarning: "is not" with a literal. Did you mean "!="?
  if iface is not None and iface[0]['addr'] is not '127.0.0.1':

I don’t know how to correct it.

Thanx in advance!

Hello,

Have you read the comments on the AUR page? There is this one pinned AUR (en) - mkchromecast

You probably use pipewire, hence you better go with mkchromecast-git as mentioned there.
