If this call came from a _pb2.py file, your generated code is out of date and must be regenerated with protoc >= 3.19.0.                                                
If you cannot immediately regenerate your protos, some other possible workarounds are:                                                                                  
 1. Downgrade the protobuf package to 3.20.x or lower. 
 2. Set PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python (but this will use pure-Python parsing and will be much slower).

Our version of pychromecast is from 2019; version 4.1.0. The latest is in the 14's, so that probably isn't helping anything.
