there may be some things that don't allow the program to find chromecasts.

I remind you that in the config example chromecast_enabled by default is 0, you have to put it to 1 if you want to support chromecasts in the bot

if you are on docker try using --network=host

if it doesn't apply or doesn't work try increasing the scan timeout on config.ini

as a last attempt you can try updating the version of pychromecast used by this program, currently i don't have a chromecast where to try, if you can try the latest version of pychromecast probably it will be able to find the devices

Thank you!
The problem was that there is chromecast_enabled=0 by default.
