AttributeError: 'Chromecast' object has no attribute 'device'

[didierga]

Hi,

Using Fedora 35, I get following messages when gnomecast try to find chromecast.

chromium-freeworld-96.0.4664.45-1.fc35.x86_64 find the chromecast and casts on it with no problem.

Environment:

Fedora 35 gnomecast 1.9.11 python3-chromecast-9.3.1-1.fc35.noarch

Messages:

Ubuntu 21.10 The same error after

pip install PyChromecast==1.0.3 zeroconf==0.19.1

restart and the problem resolved for me.

restart and the problem resolved for me.

This worked for me as well on Xubuntu 20.04 and Python 3.8.10.

In Fedora 35, I installed python3-chromecast and its pre and co-requisites:

python3-protobuf-3.14.0-6.fc35.noarch python3-ifaddr-0.1.7-5.fc35.noarch python3-zeroconf-0.36.9-1.fc35.noarch python3-casttube-0.2.1-4.fc35.noarch python3-chromecast-9.3.1-1.fc35.noarch

After installation I have installed:

$ pip3 list
Package              Version
-------------------- ------------
---/---
PyChromecast         10.1.1
---/---
zeroconf             0.37.0

and I get error above.

The issue is that PyChromecast dropped the device property in release 10.0, 25 days ago. See https://github.com/home-assistant-libs/pychromecast/releases/tag/10.0.0 and https://github.com/home-assistant-libs/pychromecast/pull/556. All that stuff is now in cast_info instead.

So the easy fix is to set pychromecast<10 in requirements.txt and cut a release, then actually fix it and start depending on pychromecast>10,<11.

Now the problem is identified can we hope to have a new version of gnomecast who fix it ?

[vanadinit]

This should fix it: https://github.com/vanadinit/gnomecast/commit/151b53bd4ca183c291b5b8f98ae83cb38745081a

Feel free to cherry-pick or copy the changes.

I am going to fix various things in my fork to get this going for my own setup. Maybe I make a pull-request back to this, but I am not sure how to handle invasive changes, it will be more a rewrite than little adjustments.

Edit: Just discovered that you need also the two cc.name lines from https://github.com/vanadinit/gnomecast/commit/a1de1aea952422b7edb03884d5bf4746c23b658a

I created a PR with the changes that are the same as the two commits @vanadinit mentioned, hopefully they will merge it.

Do you plan to merge this PR ?

[Senacharim]

Used:

pip install PyChromecast==1.0.3 zeroconf==0.19.1

no restart and the problem resolved for me.

This worked. Ubuntu 22.04 and Python 3.10

The problem was fixed, the current master branch detects the device successfully

Had problem indicated in this thread (in Nov, 2022) and used the indicated fix to resolve it.

Perhaps the fix wasn't tested with the original Nvidia Shield and has some edge cases, I don't know.

Got error, found fix, fix worked.

Error exists in software. (sorry)

I just tried the workaround (PyChromecast==1.0.3 zeroconf==0.19.1) and Gnomecast does not launch anymore:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/legz/.local/bin/gnomecast", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/home/legz/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/gnomecast.py", line 1570, in main
    caster = Gnomecast()
  File "/home/legz/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/gnomecast.py", line 400, in __init__
    self.app = bottle.Bottle()
NameError: name 'bottle' is not defined

I applied the fix suggested in the PR, and everything works fine. Thanks @stele95 !
