Problem

When try to launch main.py, it causes AttributeError: 'Chromecast' object has no attribute 'cast_info'

Actual

Traceback (most recent call last):

With debugging, it seems there is a case that cast_info property can not be accessible.

>>> print(chromecasts)
[Chromecast(None, port=8009, device=DeviceStatus(friendly_name='ghm', model_name='Google Home Mini', manufacturer='Google Inc.', uuid=UUID('...'), cast_type='audio'))]

>>> cast = chromecasts[0]
>>> cast
Chromecast(None, port=8009, device=DeviceStatus(friendly_name='ghm', model_name='Google Home Mini', manufacturer='Google Inc.', uuid=UUID('...'), cast_type='audio'))

cast. doesn't show cast_info.

I've used cast.name as a workaround.
