Spotcast is not working when using cast as custom component

Bug Ticket

Describe the bug

I really like it when Cast devices never returned to state off in HA 2022.2.1 - 2022.2.3. This was reverted in 2022.2.4. So I tried to run cast as custom component, which works fine for the cast devices themselves. However, when doing so, the cast devices can no longer be found by Spotcast. The Chromecast sensor does not show any devices. There is no issue concerning Spotcast in the logs, just the info that the devices are updated, with no devices found.

The actual change to not show them as off has no effect on this. Even if I just download the cast component, put it in custom_components without any changes (besides adding a version number) Spotcast can not find any cast devices.

pychromecast was bumped in 2022.5, did you download the cast component from 2022.5 when using it with 2022.5?

I’m using HA OS, so the PYTHONPATH is set as default in HA OS.

To me it looks like it still tries to use the native core cast component, and not my own custom_component cast version.

I did change it to this, to avoid the relative import. That also works

from custom_components.cast.media_player import CastDevice
