Casting from the web client - Nexus Player not detected

[Macburp 110]

Well, the title says it all really. I've been using the Emby ATV app on my NP since beta days without too much incident, and I've managed to cast to it from the BBC iplayer app using multiple android devices and an ipad (amazing!) with ease. I've also used the chromecast app for screen mirroring to watch the Rugby World Cup using ITV player. So I was thinking of getting a chromecast stick for the bedroom TV, as the missus hates the NowTV box we have right now, so she can cast from her ipad.

 

But

 

The web client cannot find the NP as a cast target. Why would this be? I've tried to cast from android device, ipad and even my pc, nothing can find it. Its particularly galling as I think I tried to cast to the device a couple of months ago when I bought the NP and it worked, so why would it not work now?

 

Not sure what logs if any I would need to provide for this one, please let me know.

 

TIA

it works just fine here in the web client.

Maybe related to whatever is going on here: AFTV not showing in remote control

 

Luke, did something change in how the app needs to report remote control capability?

Try clearing the cache and data on the NP. This solved my issues. It's also now direct plays better as well oddly!

Install the update for cast receiver, that is what fixed it for me.
