core: Google Cast Integration not detecting Cast Devices
The problem
Google Cast devices not detected by HA when adding cast integration
Environment
Host OS Windows 10
HA Virtual Machine - - VirtualBox Operating System HassOS 4.17 HA Version 118.3
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/cast/
Problem-relevant configuration.yaml
None - Adding integration though UI.
Traceback/Error logs
No errors in Supervisor or Core logs shown for Cast. I do see one for supervisor.api.ingress, unknown if it has a part to play in the issue. 20-11-25 20:08:34 WARNING (MainThread) [supervisor.api.ingress] No valid ingress session None
Additional information
Home Assistant Virtual Machine and Google devices all on the same IoT Vlan. Google cast integration can’t find the google devices, half dozen of them some minis, a hub, and a few CC Audios.
WIn 10 PC hosting the VM is dual networked to both the Iot Vlan and the Trusted Vlan. HA VM is bridged through the IoT Vlan network link, and it has its own IP on the Vlan.
My phone, Laptop, and PCs, on the trusted network can see and interact with the casts which are in the IoT VLAN
So mDNS on my ubiquity gear is working, IGMP snooping on the IoT VLAN is now disabled. it was enabled. no change either way.
I have not attempted manually adding them as of yet.

I hate problems that appear and vanish with no rhyme or reason… makes them hell to track down.
@emontnemery Thank you!!! That was exactly what was going on (WiFi APs not forwarding from the wired interface to the wireless interface). I have (5) Cisco autonomous APs and here is the command line options to fix this behavior (on the APs):
no ip igmp snooping no dot11 igmp snooping-helper
After updated my APs with those statements, I restarted HA and it immediately saw all my Cast devices (instantly). Thanks again!!!
