[chromecast] Chromecast binding freezes openHAB

Dear Community and binding Maintainers/Developers!

I have an issue with the Chromecast binding and I found similar issues with this binding. However for me this happens “automatically” I don’t have to press anything on Chromecast it happens randomly and freezes the whole openHab. Currently I’m on 2.3.0 stable.

Here is the message I get:

I know it seems that something else has a problem, but I had this error so many times, right after this Chromecast exception. So I think Chromecast binding has some bug.

Thanks!

Thanks, I have installed this version (hope so, I haven’t found anywhere in PaperUI the version, but when I see the addons page, the Chromecast binding is not installed there) I will test it and see if I get any freezes now 😃 Thanks for help!

The updated Chromecast library should be part of the next 2.4.0-SNAPSHOT build (i.e. build 1316 or newer, see also https://github.com/openhab/openhab2-addons/pull/3759). So you no longer need to use the JAR from https://github.com/openhab/openhab2-addons/issues/3693#issuecomment-399777267 to get these changes.
