pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The ‘protobuf==3.0.0b2’ distribution was not found and is required by pychromecast

The error just pop up. The CLI is not functioning. I don’t know what happen. Please help.

Hi there, in order to help can you please provide more information:

  • What were you doing before the error appeared? ie. Did you recently install a new Skill?
  • The pychromecast library is for Python 3 - https://github.com/balloob/pychromecast - Picroft is based on Python 2.7 and won’t be able to use the pychromecast library - was the library installed on top of Picroft?

Kind regards,
Kathy
