Also my mosquitto broker is unable to start at reboot… and I’m not sure why either… everything was running fine the day before and nothing was changed. This is a mystery; what’s going on?
I’m having a lot of issues with Chromecasts and Google Home as well. The only Google media player that I see right now after a restart is my Nvidia Shield. Rokus seem to work OK. Here is the only relevant log entry:
2017-06-10 11:46:49 ERROR (Thread-6) [pychromecast.socket_client] Failed to connect, retrying in 5.0s
I still see this problem, seems to happen after HA has been up and running for a day or two. (HA version 0.61.1). All MediaPlayers are unresponsive to TTS or Google Home (GH plays just fine but status doesn’t show in HA). The only fix I can find is to restart HA.
The above fix (reboot Google Home) doesn’t really work for me as I have 2 GHs, 1 Mini and 4 Chromecasts!
I use the MediaPlayer feature for whole house audio and it really works well until this happens!
Let me know if I can help debug this somehow!

I had this problem while trying to cast a locally hosted mp3 to a local google home mini. The mp3 played fine for a time or 2 and then just stopped working.
I had the same issue. I had rebooted my router which have my raspberry pi a different IP address, so what I had to do is change the base_url which was using the old IP address. Hope that helps.
I am seeing this issue currently and was wondering if anyone had a workaround as I am currently having to restart HA fairly regularly to resolve. Thanks.
I’m having this issue too with Plex media playing to Google Home. It seemed to start after I had to reinstall my Plex add-on due to a different issue. I’ve raised an issue for this one here but please let me know if anyone else has this problem and there is a duplicate issue.
