can't connect to chromecast

[Björn wallbäck]

can't connect to chromecast, no tray with info, can find chromedevices but it fails to connect.
tested different args to --host -s -n and -r to clean up after each try.

tried --debug and got:
927 --debug

Likely https://github.com/muammar/mkchromecast/issues/334

Which indicates that mkchromecast doesn't work with python3-zeroconf version 0.24.1
