I wrote (mostly borrowed) this code to pause an existing chromecast stream.



import pychromecast
device_friendly_name = "GCC"
chromecasts = pychromecast.get_chromecasts()
cast = next(cc for cc in chromecasts if cc.device.friendly_name ==
device_friendly_name)
mc = cast.media_controller
mc.block_until_active()
mc.pause()


It works just fine, but it takes up to six seconds to finally pause. Same with the play function. I have experimented with code and removed everything that wasn't needed. I suspect it's the next loop that sets the cast variable that is causing the problem. I wonder if there is a faster way to set that value, like pointing to an IP instead of device_friendly_name, but I am not able to find a way to make that work.



Does anyone have any wisdom about speeding things up?
