This has been happening for me for about 1 month or so, on Arch Linux 2 machines. Currently on v 54.0.2840.100 (64-bit). Always gives the above instead of the 3 chromecasts we have. Used to work fine. If I disable the media router setting in flags, and install the home cast extension, then the devices appear but the cast never connects.

To enable support for Chromecast devices on Chromium: 1. Navigate to chrome://flags 2. Find load-media-router-component-extension and set to "enabled" 3. Restart browser

It seems that setting the "load-media-router-component-extension" flag to "enabled" broke Chromium for some people :( https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1694910#p1694910
