AxelAxel3 23 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I love the new layout and the rebranding, logo, and name. The only thing I've noticed now is I am having trouble getting it to cast sometimes. Here is my proccess: - Click the icon at the top to cast - Click the name of the Chromecast (living room) - Touch the left side of the screen to make the menu go away When I touch the side of the screen, the menu goes away and it does not cast or anything. Sometimes after trying it over and over it works. But I noticed if I kill the app on my android, I can then cast it. And it just almost seems like the problem occurs the most after I have watched netflix or YouTube on my chromecast. I haven't had much of a chance to test it more to find patterns.. but those are just what I have noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37009 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Step 4 after that is go press play on something. Did you try that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxelAxel3 23 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) Step 4 after that is go press play on something. Did you try that?Well usually it shows the emby screen (with the old logo btw) right after I press that and the cast icon turns blue... but give me a few minutes (after my kid gets done with blues clues lol) and I will try it out. But it seems like I did try that before and it played to my phone cause when I go back in the menu "My Device" is selected again..

AxelAxel3 23 Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) Okay... I was watching a show and hit the home button and came back to emby to pause it and it lost that I was casting a video. So I went to select the Chromecast and it did the same thing as described in the original post. I had to unplug the Chromecast to get it to "pause". Rebooting the Chromecast did not fix it, but killing the app and restarting it did. Edited June 8, 2015 by alexander7567 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sp3kt3r 13 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I also saw this issue and killing the apps is the only way to get chromecast again. The apps loose connection with the chomecast as soon as you switch apps while watching something.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blauter78 4 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 My Shield Android TV isn't listed anymore as a play to device from the app. Is that normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadStu 0 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I press the icon to connect to the chromecast and nothing happens. I've tried from phone and tablet, unplugged power to chromecast and rebooted phone and tablet and it just doesn't want to connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
