I have multiple chromecast minis in my house. And a number of chromecast audios connected to my stereo and a few vintage radios. One of the minis is in my attic and has an audio in the attic as its default music player. So a command like "ok google, stream xyz" without an explicit target device works. It starts a stream to the audio in the attic. However, if I later issue "ok google, stop stream", it stops a different stream in our living room to our stereo, annoying my wife....

"Ok google, stop stream to attic" works, but is there a way to make the "stop" command without an explicit target speaker work with the same speaker used for starting a stream?

Upgraded my cc to a 4k one (someone gave me their old one and I was using an HD), and I can't seem to change the subtitle styling on the disney+ app.

There is no subtitle style menu in the subtitle options, I only can choose audio or subtitle language. Anyone know how to fix this? I can access on my computer and change no issue but not on the chromecast.

Hi, I want to connect a group of Google Nest and JBL speakers to my chromecast TV.

Only a group of 2 Nests works for me. I can't put 3 speakers together. Is there a solution?

It gets in the way and kinda annoying. I like the old way where it's minimized on the bottom.

Edit: YouTube app

My parents own a Snow White 4k Chromecast, connected to a 1080p television. This television is primarily used by my mom to watch news and college football, so not much watching going on. She watches this on YouTube TV, and some times watches Antique Roadshow channel on PlutoTV.

The YouTubeTV resolution is set to auto so it can jump from 360, 480, 720, 1080 if needed (it's connected wirelessly to Google Wifi). Here is a screenshot of the Chromecast from the last 30 days using over 90GB per day.

What could be causing this excessive data use?

I have an Android TV or Google TV however you call it. It is said that when I get a Chromecast remote I have to go to the options and Setting > Remotes and Accessories > Set up remote buttons> add devices >tv/sound bar/av receiver

But this is all I get. what do I do help please

So the comments, super thanks, profile button and save and setting buttons don't work.

It's a account issue because it's working on another account on same device. Issue is replicated on another chromecast.

I used my mobile as the remote and still same issue.

Dumb question probably. I have a 4k tv, but have been using our old Chromecast with it, is it genuinely worth upgrading?

Right now there is no cast option anywhere on the NF app, so has anyone been able to cast a 1st gen chromecast from Android NF app onto the TV? I don't want to buy a new NF plan and have it not be able to cast. Thanks.

Hello!

I have a KD-55XE9005 Sony TV from 2018/2019 or some such and I've been trying to figure out how to connect my laptop so I can stream Netflix etc, possibly play some video games now and then, but main use would be for streaming movies/tv-shows.

I've tried to connect through Wi-Fi and no luck, called my internet supplier and they were unable to help as well. So now I'm thinking i'll just get some type of Chromecast, I searched Amazon and there seems to be alot of brands etc, varying in price!

Does anyone know a good solution for me? I'd prefer to get off cheap but quality is important too, to a point. I'm a student and funds are not great.

Thank you!!

Hi everyone, Google TV Streamer 4K owner here.

I'm having issues with Disney+, as I can only play Disney+ titles after opening the app. They don't show up on the Streamer homepage (Netflix and Max titles work fine, I can see them in the "Continue watching" section) or in search results. Hope this makes sense.

Has anyone encountered the same issue? Any idea if this can be fixed? Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I’m having trouble with my Chromecast setup and hoping someone here can help!

I’ve got a Chromecast connected via Ethernet to my LAN. When I try casting from desktop browsers, everything works perfectly – they can detect the Chromecast and cast without issues. However, my mobile devices (both Android and iOS) don’t even detect the Chromecast when they’re connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

Here are some key points of my setup:

• Chromecast is connected via Ethernet directly to the LAN.

• Desktops (both Windows and Mac) can find and cast to the Chromecast without problems.

• Mobile devices, when on the same Wi-Fi, can’t detect the Chromecast at all.

• I’ve tried restarting both the router and Chromecast, but no luck.

I've tried factory reset but it hasn't helped. Has anyone else experienced this or have any ideas on how to troubleshoot? Is there something specific to mobile that I need to adjust? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hi,

I own the Mi Box S 1st gen and face issues, sometimes with casting, it is unreliable. I am looking for an alternatige

Which one is a good option? CCwGTV is sold out everywhere it seems, thinking also about Nokia 8010. What is a good alternative?

I value 4k, good update support, performance, reliablity.

Should be under 99€

Okay please help me, moved recently and I am trying to set up my chrome cast, for some reason, the app deleted my saved device so I have to set it all up again. When I go to add a device it recognizes it but every time it says connection failed. I have even gotten a wifi extender and made sure I am on 5g HELP ME. Just want my sweet tv so badly I feel like I'm going crazy

Hi guys. I own a bar and want to play a vídeo of foods and drinks on loop on my TVs. Is there any way to do this?

Just wondering how smooth your experience has been and whether WiFi was sufficient or you recommend spending on an ethernet adapter? Speaking of can you use the Ultras ethernet/plug combo with the CC w GTV? Or does it need to be specifically for that model?

Hi guys,

I'm having an issue with my chromecast audio which cannot play a big (7568 songs - 575h) playlist from Spotify.

When I try to connect Spotify to the device, I hear the pairing sound from the chromecast, but I cannot play any songs.

Note: I have no issue with a smaller playlist

Note2: I have the same issue on Google Home.

Any idea of the size limit ? Or any advice to fix this ?

Thanks

I use YouTube premium but my Chromecast 3rd gen still shows ads. How do I fix that? I set Adguard DNS but still shows them. It's so annoying.

Hello, i was a bit concerned this morning when I noticed a button in chrome on my work computer showing my daughters tv show was playing on our Shield TV, I never would have connected my work computer to any other devices intentionally in my house other than my wifi modem. Is there a way to ensure this is not connected?

Trying to load APK apps but it won't allow me to enable the setting that pops up. Any help would be appreciated

I'm sure there isn't but I thought I couldn't get a similar app to YouTube ReVanced & I got one! Just any suggestions would be more than welcome! Thanks to everyone 🙏🏻

Hello! I cast live tv from the Hulu app on my phone to a Chromecast. Everything has been great, but I have noticed when a set of advertisements comes on (the word “advertisement” appears in the top left corner of the screen), the sound will either go quieter than what it is or it will get louder. This will happen when the live tv show cuts into a commercial. The show will pause for a second, reload, and then when it begins to load the advertisement - I hear a high pitch sound and then the advertisement plays either louder or quieter. I sometimes watch on an iPad and I have never noticed the sound issue which makes me think it has something to do with the casting to the Chromecast. I was curious if anyone else has had this issue and if there is a settings change that can fix it. I am tired of having to continuously adjust the tv volume! I have already checked the volume settings on the tv and there is nothing special turned on.

I've looked everywhere in my settings but I can't find Install unknown sources it's like it's just not there I'm using a android 12 ones plus

On Google TV what is the purpose of marking something as watched?
