So I have a Walmart Onn. brand streaming stick. It's got Google Chromecast enabled. On my old tv, it was Samsung to Samsung casting and would squish my phone's screen size to fit the tv. This new Google cast device doesn't do that so my very long phone is displayed on the screen, leaving void spaces in landscape orientation on the upper and lower parts. How do I fix this? Doesn't seem to have screen size settings in the Google home app where I mirror the screen from. Sometimes I can cast the videos directly from whatever site I'm watching it on but it only works half the time and screen mirro ..read more

My Chromecast with Google TV in the living room is displaying a Loading Error (Unable to Load - Retry) on the For You tab. Tapping the Retry button does nothing. All my apps are listed below that and work. When I switch over to my husband's profile, he does not have this error. When I turned on the bedroom Chromecast with Google TV it has the same error for me. So I don't think it's an error with the device. Something must be wrong with my profile/account. I did clear the cache and reboot the device multiple times (as I read others have done) and that didn't help at all. Any ideas or have you ..read more

For years I have used chromecast to cast live sports. For most of the time I simply cast the tab, but a few months ago that stoped working. Now whenever I cast a tab from my Mac it casts the audio fine, but the video pauses and can’t regain itself so it simply isn’t an option. Since then, I have found a workaround of casting directly from the cast icon within the video player. This won’t work with all sites as not all sites have the embedded cast, but it was at least an alright solution. Forever a few days ago the imbedded cast option crashes the steam and simply doesn’t work. I now simply ha ..read more

I have factory reset and re signed in my chronecast to the wifi I'm on (we just recently got new equipment) and I cannot for the life of me get my android to cast to my chromecast.

So this worked for my parents till yesterday. I had someone try at home on a different account and it opens HGTV on YTTV. I factory reset no help. Both of their Chromecast are doing it. I looked at assistant settings and turned the voice lock off. Anyone else ever see this. To add I can say CNN or ESPN or the local abc call sign and all work. submitted by /u/CarlSpaackler [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I have a CCWGTV that I used to use in "Apps Only" mode to avoid the annoying home screen recommendations. I recently tried setting it to display my Google Photos photos in Ambient Mode and learned that this is only possible by turning off "Apps Only" mode. As I found no other option, I disabled "Apps Only" mode. The issue is that among the recommendations that appear on the main screen, there are some very sinuous and sexualized thumbnails that, let's say, don't seem to be appropriate for children. These recommendations are specifically from the Plex app (I don't have Plex installed on CCWGTV ..read more

I have a google tv, and I have some stuff I want to watch that isn’t available on streaming platforms and such. I can’t mirror since I don’t use an android. I know there are down apps but either it’s a pretty penny or it’s free and doesn’t look all that great. Any help? submitted by /u/Shrekisball101 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Just now, my Chromecast disconnected three times while I was seeing a YouTube video. And that's when I can put a YouTube video on my TV, since the YouTube app (and only the YouTube app) most of the time don't find my Chromecast. Seriously, that's just fucked up. submitted by /u/danielvartan [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
