why use old python-pychromecast6?

Ahoj,

python-casttube version 0.2.1-4 is installed, but pulseaudio-dlna fails with pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'casttube>=0.2.0' distribution was not found and is required by pychromecast:

Hi,

Could you please update this to Cygn's maintained fork?

https://github.com/Cygn/pulseaudio-dlna/

The original version is not developed since 2017, whereas the newest release from the fork came on Dec 29, 2022 as of this writing.

Thank you in advance if you do.

Still works for me with my old Sonos speakers.

Is this working for anyone?

I'm getting The device "Audiolab (DLNA)" failed to play! (500) - "Audiolab (DLNA)" : Could not find a suitable encoder! on multiple distros, well Debian and Arch.

Additionally, I get: 09-11 14:37:42 pulseaudio_dlna.pulseaudio INFO Instructing the device "Audiolab (DLNA)" to play ... 09-11 14:37:42 pulseaudio_dlna.plugins.renderer INFO There was no suitable codec found for "Audiolab (DLNA)". The device can play "". Install one of following encoders: "". You can also try to disable the mime type check with the "--disable-mimetype-check" flag. But be warned: In that way you can use codecs your device does not support officially and this could lead to distortions or in rare cases to speaker damage!

The "--disable-mimetype-check" flag does not help: The device "Audiolab (DLNA)" failed to play! (500) - "Audiolab (DLNA)" : The action "SetAVTransportURI" is not supported!

As for encoders I have flac, mp3, ffmpeg at least available...

Got an issue, ince I think update of pychromecast:

[2022-06-28T09:21:05+0200] [ALPM] upgraded python-pychromecast (12.1.3-1 -> 12.1.4-1)

running pulseaudio-dlna get in error :

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'pychromecast>=2.3.0' distribution was not found and is required by pulseaudio-dlna

python-pychromecast6 is installed and reinstalled.

Installing python-pychromecast6 will remove: python-pychromecast

polyzen, python-gobject is installed and I didn't deinstall it. pulseaudio-dlna was working until an update happened. I am not sure when or what was updated, but in my opinion every dependency is available. I now have reinstalled pulseaudio-dlna together with python-gobject and now it works. Thank you for the hint!

willemw, fixes pushed, thank you.

hansen9984, seems like you somehow installed this package without installing python-gobject?

Is should be: arch=('any').

The 'wait_for_chromecast.patch' checksum is incorrect.
