Cast function only sees one of the two Chromecasts active in area

[hadesgamma]

OS : Windows 10 Home
I have two Chromecasts active on the ground floor of my house, one normal Chromecast plugged into a TV, and a Chromecast audio plugged into the aux input of a stereo system. When both Chromecasts are active, the player only displays one of them. This seems to be random, as yesterday I could only select the Chromecast audio and today I can only select the one connected to the TV. Unplugging the Chromecast connected to the TV allowed me to select the Chromecast Audio.

Can you please download and run the mdns-test.exe file inside this folder.

Then copy and paste whatever appears in the application into a comment here 👍

I'm just getting a blank white screen when I run it.

Hmmm, can you install bonjour real quick. It might be that our JS fallback is a bit buggy.

Oooooh, this is actually really interesting. Can you move into gitter for a quick chat?

[MarshallOfSound]

/cc @jostrander So cast groups appear to be advertised as googlezone....

This picture will show that it can be seen on my computer.

[MarshallOfSound]

@Alipoodle .... That's your mistake... That isn't a cast device. That's a DLNA device......... I can't use Chromecast protocols to stream Google play music to it....

[Alipoodle]

.< Oh. From before you said that i could.

[MarshallOfSound]

I also seem to remember asking if Sonos was Google Cast enabled and someone saying "Yes" and they were wrong 😆

[ccicchitelli]

Hi All, does Sonos currently work with this cast from this app? It's working fine from my Play Music app for Android, but the speaker does not appear as a cast device in the desktop app. Thanks!!
