Can't seem to cast to groups

Hey there!
Love the program, but when I try to cast to a group of speakers, the CLI text says I am successful, but there is no sound. I have no problem with singular speakers, so I know the format is correct. The groups do show up in the inventory, I just can't seem hear them when a -text is sent.

I normally don't cast to groups myself, but can set this up for testing later today when all the sleepy people in my house wake up
Having that said, here is a long thread where it at appears that for a time casting to groups seems to have no longer been supported by Google:

However, there does seem to be some resolution near the end of the post, perhaps you can see if that helps.
In any case, I will post back later with my results - unless you find a solution in the post above and provide a positive update here.

Well I gave it a good try, but couldn't get it to work.
.
When casting to the device name of the group or ip address of the primary device in the group it only played on one speaker in the group.
I appreciate you have tagged this as a cast bug, but I suspect it may be more of a Google nurfing thing.
