Hello, I try to install this version because the git version have a conflict package and can't be installed. I got a validity check error: pychromecast_optional.patch ... FAILED.

So I look at the file, and install manually the package python-pychromecast but nothing change. I also remove the cache. Is this a problem with the PKG? Any idea how I can resolve this issue? Thanks

Just a heads up, the latest release of mkchromecast (and therefore this package) does not work on pipewire due to reliance on pacmd. This has been fixed in master though by replacing pacmd with pactl; so pipewire users should instead install mkchromecast-git.

Why you have made python-pychromecast as optional deps. mkchormecast won't work without it and there is no warning when installing the package that essential dep is missing.

If you get a missing python library, you might be using a non-system python environment. Check that type python gives python is /usr/bin/python or something like that.

I use pyenv, for instance (for me, type python gives python is /home/pedro/.local/lib/pyenv/shims/python), and I got a ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'psutil' just like amrhassan did below. But if I run PYENV_VERSION=system mkchromecast instead of mkchromecast, everything works fine.

Another workaround is manually changing the shebang to #!/bin/python in /bin/mkchromecast.

Actually, maybe polyzen should do this in the AUR package? I'm actually not sure about what's the best practice here, but given that this is an AUR package which lists as dependencies system-wide python libraries installed by pacman, it seems to me that a system python should be enforced by patching the source from #!/usr/bin/env python to #!/usr/bin/python before installing.

amrhassan, perhaps you need to rebuild python-psutil. Works here.

I get the following error even though I have python-psutil installed..

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/bin/mkchromecast", line 5, in <module>
    import mkchromecast.__init__
  File "/usr/share/mkchromecast/mkchromecast/__init__.py", line 6, in <module>
    from mkchromecast.utils import terminate, check_url
  File "/usr/share/mkchromecast/mkchromecast/utils.py", line 6, in <module>
    import psutil
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'psutil'

I wasn't able to build python-pychromecast until I modified PKGBUILD as you suggested: remove the Python 2 build; bump pkgver to 2.3.0; update sha512sum by generating it from the downloaded file.

Now happily streaming Spotify to Chromecast Audio, thanks vm
