Chromecast Gen 2 Does Not Appear in Zones [Solved with Build 334]

Same issue here. I can reproduce this continuously.

I’ve restarted both the Roon Core and the Chromecast (which is up-to-date).

Hey @Thomas_Becker – can you give us the exact details of your setup, and which Chromecast devices you’re using, as described here?

Can you also let us know exactly what the failure looks like? Are you able to connect at all?

Thanks!

Hello @Thomas_Becker,

Thank you for providing that additional information. I have gone ahead and enabled diagnostics mode on your account and what that will do is next time your Roon Core is active, a set of logs pertaining to this issue will automatically be generated and uploaded to our servers for analysis. I appreciate your patience here while our QA team has a chance to review these logs and suggests some next steps forward.

Thanks,
