issue with refactored media controllers and chromecast 1st gen

[thomasdelaet]

Hey,

There seems to be an issue with the refactored media controllers and my chromecast 1st gen device (firmware 1.36.159268).

My home assistant log is filled with these errors which are caused by quick_play function and specifically the timeout here https://github.com/home-assistant-libs/pychromecast/blob/aa927d3707bf49e117aacf0f2070436d6c8fa618/pychromecast/controllers/media.py#L542

Would love to get any guidance on how to deal with this.

If this issue only affects 1st generation Chromecasts, consider that it has reached end of support, and others are on firmware version 1.56.xxx.
