I noticed the same issue casting Twitch streams using media_extractor.play_media service. It broke after upgrading to 2021.12.0.

Log shows:

Failed to cast media **URL**.m3u8. Please make sure the URL is: Reachable from the cast device and either a publicly resolvable hostname or an IP address

If I navigate to the URL from the log, it works fine.

I have the same problem as @metec22. I’m using the media extractor on https://www.twitch.tv/therunningmanz (and other twitch streams) to cast to a Google Nest Hub (1st gen). It used to work fine before the upgrade to 2021.12. Now it just shows the HA logo, in the HA logs I get similar entries to this:

Failed to cast media https://video-weaver.waw01.hls.ttvnw.net/v1/playlist/CrsEEexebHC65kEnJMP378YJy6l8oyq6jcPT53e3mniTuEm4MnXwjhzbYsDmUgPCEY9XPCIDkwWJIr71-N0A_dzYmahdq5a1hTMkT9rZ_Rk3Pp6vIR5exZp3mXUq1jpWLDGHAUrvDvPgrJvlTd57rGXJspR3-huPDVZcntZvM5F3WOtOPJQZkKQ0DDawmZqKIYsf9KEMv_gzbHYxYXaA1Vjaa4xUdyp5AcsINXMGHqLTv1OZ_ZvxpsZ8g6mgIvSvu30J1-d9_S7Cv1JfjdTqfTfEexOaQ0_M2q06s0hozW3OlAsmEKfaQpFPNmvjyY9CVbrNhDimE4BjI9GMgFk1Lzp44jrKWj3f13Xua7lMLoguZ5a3_iOHbBKtrT4Nstpb22OXs-gX0EmdNBOBSzrzRjuWkggbECRr9derZkXfkCuYiKUlRQxXSBoi3IATtyhlpJF866TXSNLzSVf3ePacVral7HNY_chGPh2vcsGXAAfsveXp4yWf6U2SNZpSMF4xCEIgpKy8h4kDt7rfqp_anBd-Svo64tRaMxcrjc1GZY9t4jDpfmp7E-Cm81TWRwa5q3XqWunH2zdqYUgBv434mK65C91moJgH1cT6-Nk1eWWsxFlVlWz9r2Upkdz24lXLcu4mZzToNl4R-9SK_nNntjzzhsRfKa5FYGEwmX69cDTj0oIXSbXP0wt6j_ND5ElkLDvo_7SzELD5YuAqmUCKGRefH2Nzb176qrAsY8o3cjx3zClCj0IuEii4vwkeYBoM19ZehmkhZ0OWI68GIAEqCWV1LXdlc3QtMjDEAg.m3u8.

The service call I’m using:

service: media_extractor.play_media
data:
  media_content_id: https://www.twitch.tv/therunningmanz
  media_content_type: VIDEO
target:
  entity_id: media_player.office_display

I’ve also tried changing the media_content_type to other possible values with no success.

@emontnemery I am casting to a real chromecast device. I tested a few different ones. All produce that same error that the URL is not reachable.

Yes, it is
