Direct Play Chromecast Blu-Ray Rips Stuck in a Loop

Just an FYI, I just got pushed a Chromecast version 1.29.104827 and cannot seem to find any information about it yet. Not sure what's changed.

Well Chromecast version 1.29.104827 was just pushed to all my Chromecast's. Let the fun begin...

Swapped to the Chromecast 2 which has been sitting in a drawer since the original issue, and it works with Live TV again. Surely it will update itself in the next couple days but hopefully won’t break anything!

According to this page you're only getting that firmware version because you're in the chromecast preview program:

That's what I don't get, non of my devices are setup for the preview program and each device is linked to a different email address. But all devices just got pushed the preview update and google has not responded to my emails as to why this is happening.

Sounds like a defect of their update process then.

I didn't check 2 days ago, but also watch the current version as well. Right now some models have the same version between beta and production (just means they haven't released a new beta build yet).
