I bought two Chromecast devices yesterday, an Audio and a Chromecast for
the TV.

I installed the Castbridge plugin on my Vortexbox 2.4 running Fedora 23
64 bit, LMS Version: 7.9.0 - 1463151428 @ Mon May 16.

Castbridge installed OK but wouldn't work. 

After searching I found reference to permissions for
/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/CastBridge/Bin/squeeze-2-cast-x86-64
not including executable

, Filezilla changed the permissions to 755.

Logging on in Putty and executing squeeze-2-cast-x86-64 showed some
missing dependencies as detailed here -

- searching for the missing modules ie libssl.so and libcrypto.so and
copying them into the /lib64 directory enabled squeeze-2-cast-x86-64 to
be executed.

So, then it was a simple matter of re-booting the server, going to the
Chromecast Bridge settings in the Plugins tab and selecting
squeeze-2-cast-x86-64 - don't select squeeze-2-cast-x86-64-static as it
doesn't exist ! 

I didn't change anything else and the two Chromecast devices were
detected and appeared in the list of players. So far I have only
streamed/cast to the audio player as I typed this.

Thank you Philippe and your tireless testers CommanderROR, kidstypike ,
bpa, passtim and the rest.
