core: Google Cast stopped working within the last couple of weeks

@bramkragten has made some progress on the issue: https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/pull/10531

The problem with Google Cast devices started from the July version, since then the problem continues, what worked for me to be able to use my Google devices is to download HA version 6.6 and put the integration “cast” of said version in “custom_components”, and problem solved, I have been like this for 2 months, and I have not had a problem, until they fix this problem in a next version this is a good temporary solution.

The new version of the Lovelace app is now live, the 10s timeout should now be fixed. You may need to reboot your Google Nest hub to make it refresh the app.

@gajosu cheers for that! It works now, damn it! I had problems casting videos on my Chromecast Ultra (think YouTube etc). I thought I’ll be stuck on 6.6 for a long time because of the problem but the temporary solution worked 👌

I’m running home assistant core so all I had to do is copy the “cast” component folder from the virtual environment into custom_components and modify the manifest.json to add “version”.

While this is working much better, at least a couple times a day my Google Hub goes to a screensaver. Sometimes I can tap it, and the HA tab/icon/what is there to tap and things are back to normal. Sometimes its not there at all. I have it recasting every hour to prevent this, but it doesn’t seem to help.

Anyone else seeing this? Also, should this be a new issue?

Same here, but it worked fine in December and early this year. Something may have changed in the latest release or on the Nest itself.

This https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/59360 should fix the custom card errors (and a few others)

that sounds logical, but my solution for the moment. i bought a nest Hub Gen.2 and it works as before. The old one goes to the greandparents 😃

Would adding silent looping audio avoid the timeout? For example, the audio from here https://github.com/anars/blank-audio

Why does the home assistant not develop such a virtual camera in which you can switch sources, either it is a screen broadcast, or a stream from another camera, or an .Avi file or something else. Until the stream is selected - let it be a screensaver, as on old TVs setup screensaver.

Youtube on chromecast is working again in release 2021.9.7

i had the same issue google nest hub ver1 (Fuchsia installed) but since today its working again. I am curious what cause this and if works for others also
