This addon stopped working for me tonight.
Running Hassio v0.74.2, iOS 11.4.1.
Tried restarting the addon, the chromecastaudio devices (three of) and home assistant. No joy.
I then disconnected my iPhone from the network and rejoined - bingo, all three air/cromecast devices visible again.
Grr. Nice one Apple.
Add-ons is an Hassio feature and cannot be used with other installation methods.

Thatās a real shame hassbian is the only way I can get SSH commands to work with private key authentication but this is the best plugin out there imho
You donāt need Hassbian for thatā¦ that can be done on Hassio as well. But that is a little off topic. There are peeps on Discord that could help you.
thanks for the pointer I will try again with disord but have another thread if you can spare the time:

Is it possible (or is it on the roadmap) to add the local sound device as an output? That is, add an additional cast player for the ALSA or pulseaudio device on the pi?
Would love to be able to use my HassIO pi as a shairport target, but havenāt managed to wrap my head around putting that into an add-on.

Is it possible to use this as essentially one would use forked-daapd?
No.
Forked-daapd is a media player that can connect to AirPlay or Chromecast devices to stream audio.
This addon makes Chromecast devices look like AirPlay devices so that media players that only support AirPlay can stream to Chromecast devices.
Itās not actually a media player.
Hi, im just wondering if it is possible to make an opposite version of this addon? To be able to stream to airplay devices from android using a virtual chromecast device for each airplay device
No that is current impossibleā¦ unless someone would be able to hack/reverse engineer the chromecast server partā¦
Hi @frenck,
Would it be possible to make BubbleUpnp Server as a Hassio addon (so that it would proxyfi Chromecasts/Cast Groups as UPNP/OpenHome devices)? There is also Docker version in addition to classic OSs installs.
Windows users (all five of them ) could then use cast to Chromecast straight from shell.

Works fine for me (PI3+). What about support for AirPlay 2.0? Would that be possible? This would allow me to ask Siri to play to the speaker.
