Bug Description

The pychromecast version 4.1.0 that is shipped with Ubuntu 20.04 does not work as expected. I fail to stream a URL to Google Nest Hub via mkchromecast.

This seems to be caused by https://github.com/home-assistant-libs/pychromecast/pull/337 which is fixed in version 4.1.1:
- https://github.com/home-assistant-libs/pychromecast/releases
- https://github.com/home-assistant-libs/pychromecast/compare/4.1.0...4.1.1

For now, I helped myself by installing a newer version locally:
$ pip3 install "pychromecast>=4.1.1"
