The manual reset instructions saved me, thanks!

My Chromecast updated its software when I turned-on my bedroom TV earlier today. My Google Home app now fails to locate it as a discoverable device.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Google Home app. I've also performed the hard reset by pressing the button on the actual Chromecast.

When I went through the setup again, it all worked fine. Once I completed the setup, the Chromecast isn't discoverable again.

No third-party Chromecast-enabled apps can see the device.

Weirdly, the YouTube app CAN locate the Chromecast and cast to it. That's the only app that can find it.

Help!!!
