Description
When using more than one chromecast, only one is showing. The app I'm using is Plex.
From the logs it seems that two Chromecasts are disvovered (one Ultra and one non-Ultra). After that the non-Ultra one is forgotten about.
I tested powering off my Chromecast Ultra, and now the other Chromecast is visible. After powering my Ultra back on, just the regular Chromecast is visible still. So it seems to just grab the first one it sees. The order is reset on reboot (Back to only Ultra showing).

Research direction
Start by reviewing the attached log file, 2019-07-06-12-24-33.txt, and trace how the two Chromecast devices are discovered and retained. Reproduce the issue with Plex using one Chromecast Ultra and one regular Chromecast; done means both devices remain visible after discovery and across reboot.
