pip install version of chromecast - PyChromecast-0.5.1.1-py3.4.egg-info

[marchon]

Has a bug causing it to fail talking to chromecasts. the bug was fixed in
home-assistant-libs/pychromecast@ac4eb58

but anyone installing from pip will have a failure.

I went and fixed it and was going to put in a pull request - only to find it was tracked down and done.

Is it possible for you to rebuild and republish the pychromecast library for pip referred to in requirements.txt or put a forked version up that fixes the problem and add that to the requirements.txt

The current Chromecast support broken. Chromecasts have migrated to use a new API last year based on Google Protobuf. PyChromecast has been updated but it does not support Python 3 yet, it is waiting for the new release of Protobuf 3 that will support Python 3 to push a new version to PIP.

pip currently supports cloning over git, git+http and git+ssh:

git+git://git.myproject.org/MyProject#egg=MyProject
git+http://git.myproject.org/MyProject#egg=MyProject
git+ssh://git.myproject.org/MyProject#egg=MyProject

protobuf 3 currently has alpha2 on PyPi with alpha3 in the works. Is it worth spending time/effort trying to get this to work with pychromecast / python 3 / home assistant?

[balloob]

It shouldn't be too hard to get it working with Protobuf 3. There have been some API breaking changes between PyChromecast 0.5 and 0.6, but nothing major.

[hansmbakker]

have a look at home-assistant-libs/pychromecast#44 :)

[hansmbakker]

I think that this bug can be closed since new chromecast support is in the works and a new pychromecast version is on PyPi
