@tym007 I'm not entirely certain why pulseaudio-dlna lists python-pychromecast6 as a dependency, I can't see any reference to 'pychromecast' within the upstream code base.

Anyway, you could likely explicitly install python-pychromecast6 prior to attempting to install pulseaudio-dlna, it's conflicting with the python-pychromecast-git dependency of this package.

It appears the non-git version of python-pychromecast is up-to-date now though, so I'll switch back to that.

Hello, I have a little problem for installing this package with pulseaudio-dlna. First if I install python-pychromecast, it stops the process because some check didn't work. Second I install python-pychromecast-git, but we are No device found! [...] killed. So, I try to install pulseaudio-dlan, but there are a conflict: python-pychromecast-git and python-pychromecast6 are in conflict (python-pychromecast).

Any idea, maybe I missed something. Thanks for the help.

@exoro python-pychromecast-git is listed as an optional dependency to enable the casting to Chromecast devices.

I'll bump this back up to a regular dependency though, since mkchromecast's original purpose was to cast to such devices. Sonos support came later, so I'll keep python-soco as an optdepends.

I had to install pychromecast for it to find my device. Maybe that should be a dep.

@F1iX @wget Does installing python-pychromecast-git not solve the problem of not finding Chromecast devices? Things work perfectly fine for me without installing pulseaudio-dlna, and I'm hesitant to add that as an optional dependency since it is no longer maintained upstream.

I got No devices found! [...] Killed until installing pulseaudio-dlna. Now works like a charm!

I have made quick changes in order to build the package and make it work (the solution was pulseaudio-dlna which allowed me to detect my Google Nest Hub).

If this is useful for others passing by... https://github.com/wget/archlinux-aur-mkchromecast-git

Could the changes suggested by frukt be made?

gi is definitely not required, that should instead be python-gobject.

Terence commented on 2021-02-12 17:39 (UTC)

Hey frukt sorry for taking so long to reply... I agree with the changes you want to make but I don't use this package anymore so I'm going to disown it. Feel free to adopt it if you can/want.

frukt commented on 2020-09-17 15:30 (UTC)

It seems like a bunch of the declared dependencies are at most optional. The mkchromecast package [1] has a much slimmer dependencies list and could be used as a template. In particular, python-pyqt5 seems wildly excessive (pulling in QT5 for a CLI app?), and I removed a few others before building, like gi.

That said, thanks for maintaining the package!
