Chromecast could not install

Configuration

I received this error message when putting

  • media_player: cast

what to do?

Thanks

Exception:

I managed (not sure how) to get rid of the error. But the CAST is not seen … any suggestions? (No errors in log file)

I’d start with that permissions error. Looks like someone discussed a similar issue here:

Now I receive this error …

Thanks, those errors went away. Now I have this, not sure if it-s related to Google Cast (which is still not appearing)

This isn’t the way to define a media player. You want:

media_player:
  - platform: cast
8

Yes, I changed that already (I wrote it wrongly in first post). My configuration is below (and still the problem):

# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
  - platform: yamaha
    host: 192.168.1.32
    source_ignore:
      - "AV1"
      - "AV2"
      - "AV3"
      - "AV4"
      - "AV5"
      - "AV6"
      - "HDMI2"
      - "HDMI5"  
    source_names:
      HDMI1: "XBOX"
      HDMI3: "NUC"
      HDMI4: "BR"
  - platform: cast
    host: 192.168.1.35
  - platform: plex

That error you gave is unrelated to your media setup. I’d recommend adding one thing at a time and making sure it works before moving on.

Looks like you’ve got an oAuth problem. Are you using the Fitbit component? Or the new Google calendar component?

I wouldn’t be surprised if you still have permissions issues.

I use both, but both are working correctly.

And I used the Yamaha first and the cast later. But now I have problem with both … who knows what is happening

I took out the YAMAHA and the CAST, and all errors went away. Now I put Yamaha back (CAST not yet) and I receive this: (yesterday, everything was working fine)

what is the best strategy to fix the above?

EDIT, maybe restart from scratch, deinstall all and restart from scratch?
