zilla_1982

hi

who has the solving answer.

when i want to stream a Webpage, or video url, or whatever to my chromecast, it never sends the media.

i see that my tv response. but the media wont come trough.

all of the urls i test also with chrome or VLC and they works.

but i just cant get the media visible on my tv.

i tried to reboot chromecast, Homey, routers etc just in case.

Exactly the same here. Was working before, but (some of) the latest version broke it

Edit: I have Google Chromecast (gen. 2)

Same result with a Chromecast enabled device (sony tv).

Hi, 
I have the same issue, had it for a week or so. Have a Samsung TV. 

Have tested with 2 different Homeys just to rule out that the Homey is broken, been in contact with Samsung that have rewritten my HDMI ports, tested two different Chromecasts, Rebooted the router, factory reset the Homey etc. etc. 

Anyone who can have a clue whats wrong?

You are sure that you aren't casting a Tron movie?

Have tested the Options; cast a youtube video, youtube playlist, cast a website and cast a video URL all with the same result (two white lines over the screen), have tested with a bunch of different videos..

@Bram
Do you guys have any update, good or bad? :-)

Tried now with old branches from github, same problem. Is not App problem, it is 1.5.6  problem.

Rocodamelshe

U would be surprised. Also seen peeps with 1.5.3 with the same issue

Yep, think it's a Chromecast problem...

I think it is not a Chromecast problem, because other apps on my phone (like YouTube, NPO, Spotify) are still working good.

my guess also,  i think its the implementation from the chromecast app via homey that causes the issue.

   A Beta version is available... lets test the sh*it out of this

*Edit*

"v4.0.0

Initial release of the SDK2 rewrite. Note that this update does not try to fix the bug some users experience where the screen will be black with two white lines. We are unable to reproduce/debug this bug until now. "

I saw that google had a (major) problem with the chromecast protocol. It seems that in a recent firmware update the WiFi network got flooded by Chromecast, they fixed it at the end of january 2018. Perhaps that fix hasn't been implemented in the app and/or castv2 driver?

I wonder if that's something which should be fixed in the FW of chromecast or in the app?

gijsr

I tried CC gen1 and gen2. gen1 immediately started update process so i couldnt try the old fw. Both gen1 and gen2 give the same problem..

Radio works btw

other streams that dont work, are streams that content  URLs for camera, snapshot, as mpjeg and h264.
