Google-play-music-desktop-player-unofficial-: Chomecast not showing friendly names, but device numbers.

Windows 10

All my Chromecast devices (and groups) aren't being shown with their names, but some internal device numbers (and duplications):

(however, they do still seem to work!)

Here's the list in Chrome:

I have a feeling this is an issue with the underlying electron-chromecast library we built, we'll have to look into it and see what's been updated.

[MarshallOfSound]

Hmmmm, do you see this on your machine @jostrander ? I still have proper device names appearing on mine

@exemmer Do you have Bonjour installed on your machine?

[exemmer]

Bonjour? Nope. Don't do Apple;)

[MarshallOfSound]

@exemmer Please install Bonjour print services and restart. The names should be resolved then

[exemmer]

Install an Apple product to make a Google product work?

[jostrander]

It's almost as if Google uses existing technology instead of reinventing the wheel...

[MarshallOfSound]

Although bonjour is apple, it is the cross platform standard for MDNS. Even Chrome implements a version of Bonjour

[exemmer]

Now that's ironic, Alanis..

I'm getting this bug too. I suspect it's because I opted into the Chromecast preview firmware.

[jostrander]

I'll have to get one of my three casts joined into that so I can test this out.

[jostrander]

Fixed up stream, @MarshallOfSound can we add this to a minor future release?

[MarshallOfSound]

This will go out with v4

[adambregenzer]

I'm on OSX and v4 of the app and still seeing this.
