Platform cast not ready yet. Retrying in 180 seconds

Hi all

I have googled and asked in discord channel but have not been able to figure this out …

WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.media_player] Platform cast not ready yet. Retrying in 180 seconds.

I get this in my log every 3 minutes.
I have a Nvidia Shield Android TV box which I can cast to. and I also have Sonos

The things I have tried are;

  1. Adding a media_player: cast to the configuration
  2. Adding a host attribute with the ip address of the shield to the configuration

Neither of them work…

Maybe you have the “discovery” component turned on?

yes I do…

Try disabling discovery ,or ignore discovery of Google Cast Devices, to see if this error keeps on popping up.

discovery:
  ignore:
    - google_cast
