Came here from good 'old python2-esque pulseaudio-dlna. It mostly works ok for my devices: it's able to detect and stream to my smart TVs (two samsungs and one Pana), and a Beoplay A9 too.

However, this python-3 version fails while trying to detect a Maranzt AV7702 a/v receiver, a device which worked flawlessly with the old phyton2 pulseaudio-dlna version.

If it's of some help, here is the error trace. This happens whenever I run pulseaudio-dlna with the Marantz turned on (if the Marantz is turned off, no errors will appear):

thanks,

Missing dep: python-casttube

python-casttube is a dependency of python-pychromecast.

Also, you should add: provides=('pulseaudio-dlna') to the PKGBUILD

Thank you.

Very happy with this package! I'll switch to the python-3-git version for now. Hope masmu and/or other developers keep this package alive for a long time.

According to this comment, Chromecast streaming works if you downgrade pychromecast to 2.3.0.

works great - switched from pulseaudio-dlna which stopped working because of python2 issues. one thing: i had to re-install python-notify2 ... oh, python, my old friend... ahh :)

Don't have a Chromecast myself. Either support for Chromecast is broken on this branch or there's a bug in pychromecast. You may want to check if your repo and AUR packages are all up-to-date.

Just installed this but cannot get it to stream to my two chromecast devices (one regular, one chromecast audio). The debug log doesn't help me, but I'm not an expert of course. The sinks for the chromecast devices get added, but when I select any of them the audio stream switches back to the onboard audio with the message

"12-22 20:04:37 pulseaudio_dlna.pulseaudio ERROR The device "TV (Chromecast)" failed to play! (500) - Chromecast 192.168.2.3:8009 is connecting..."

Before I start diving into this, since this is a git version: is streaming to chromecast even supposed to be working with this version? Do others have this working?

(btw, in the end I reinstalled the pulseaudio-dlna package which works just fine, so it does seem to be something with this version?)
