Little more research. It might be the newest rc version. I’m on 90. I believe emiel is looking into it.
If Emiel is looking there will be a fix

@Martin_Verbeek I temporary fixed it by installing
npm i bonjour
and added this to the discovery method
const browser = bonjour()
browser.find({ type: 'googlecast' }, (discoveryResult) => {
const address = discoveryResult.addresses.find(e => !e.includes(':')) // first ipv4 address
this.log('Discovery result(ON) Google', discoveryResult.txt.fn, 'on', address, discoveryResult.port);
const db = {};
db.id = discoveryResult.txt.id;
db.host = address;
db.port = discoveryResult.port;
db.name = discoveryResult.txt.fn;
db.description = discoveryResult.txt.md;
db.type = 'Google';
db.device = new GoogleHomeTTS();
db.device.setIp(address);
db.device.setPort(discoveryResult.port);
this.foundDevices[discoveryResult.txt.id] = db;
})

The Google TTS is very inaccurate at at times and the voiceovers sound overlay mechanistic. These bug fixes are also required way often and that is a hindrance to people like me who rely on it heavily, so it’s better to use an external screen reader API or use a better text to speech online for other project works
You can also use Google services app
Hi Dominic, could you please tell a nono as me, how to fix this? Do you mean you installed bonjour via ssh? I guess I am missing some basic info here, because when I try to connect with putty, there is no connection. And after that, when I was able to install bonjour, where do I need to add the code you provided? Sorry for my “dumb” questions, hope you want to help out, I miss my opportunity to be able to cast messages
