Since upgrade to 9.0.0, Castbridge and UPnPBridge are both failing with the same message

[murcoil]

I upgraded my server to LMS 9.0.0 on 30 Nov (previously on v8.5.2, all via docker on debian), and soon noticed that none of my Chromecast or UPnP players were showing up anymore (several Google speakers and a smart TV).

In the server settings, both plugins would show up as either started or not running depending on the moment. Logs for both are showing similar messages:

Happy to provide whatever other diagnostics are useful.

I ran into this message while doing some testing, and switching to the -static binary fixed it for me? Not sure the underlying cause, but that might at least help you move forward...

[murcoil]

Oh wow, that did it! Thanks for the help.

Same issue here.

Do you have a process for this? I'm on docker

[murcoil]

Process for setting -static? It's just in the plugin options, not too far under the hood.

Thanks. I was able to set up the static binary for upnp bridge, but I can't get into the settings for the Chromecast bridge to do the same.

[murcoil]

I think maybe I caught it when it was between failures? I assume there's a config file someplace you could directly edit but I'm not sure where that would be.

I found the config file in /data/lms/config/prefs/plugin and manually changed the binary to static, but it still isn't working. Would you be able to copy/paste the contents of your castbridge.prefs here?

This is the whole of my castbridge.prefs, with client ids obfuscated. (I'm also running in docker, on Debian):

For me the binary itself seems to live at /config/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/CastBridge/Bin/squeeze2cast-linux-x86_64-static so you also might want to check whether you actually have it. (I'm doing this from inside the container and /config is at the root of the filesystem).
