I am uploading gnome-network-displays 0.92.1-1 now so try the new
version. Both this version and the version you tried worked for me
using the Chromecast protocol. Could you try to provide a bit more
information?

What version of GNOME Shell are you using?

Are you using X or Wayland?

Is there anything unusual about your system you should mention?

If you are using Shell extensions, have you tried without them?

Does it still crash if you try while logged in as a new user?

Try looking through your systemd log with journatlctl to see if there
are related errors.

Thank you,
