hello I have a problem with my new galaxy s3 mini.
all came running properly but any moment I can not see youtube videos via wfi. I do not know if it fails because of an update.
In 3g functioning properly. This I have tried both in the app or directly through the browser (chrome) and is the same.
By wifi stays loading and played very very slow but when I disable wifi and 3g active and works perfectly.
I tried downgrading the app but it is the same. I've said the problem is not with the app also fails through chrome via wifi. All other applications work fine via wifi.
Please can u help me?.
At this time I deleted all my apps including Tapatalk to rule but still the problem persists, by WIFI does not work.

If wifi works with other apps, have you checked your router? Maybe it just needs a restart.
Hi, thanks in advance for your reply.
Today I rebooted my router and still failing.
Inside youtube app or vía chrome: Suggested Videos load fast and the comments as well, but the video you want to see still loading, plays two seconds and then loaded again. etc. ..
If we turn off the wifi and activate mobile data extremely fast loading video.
PS: All applications are working fine via wifi.
Please help.
At this time I have disassociated my google plus account my youtube account but it has nothing to do. Same thing. By wifi is too slow.

Works perfectly for me. Was using it last night. Stock ROM rooted. There is definitely a lag when scrolling fast, but definitely works as designed.
Usually when an app keeps crashing, I usually try to clear data/cache from the App Manager. Helps most of the time.
Working fine here. Rooted stock.

I have tried on 2 s5 devices and it never worked however I tried with a s4 and it worked perfectly ... I have factory reset rooted, unrooted, side loaded the app and downloaded from the play store..it worked once for maybe a minute but besides that it will maybe work only for a second or 2. No idea why .

You might have a weak WiFi connection. I've found screen mirroring requires a strong connection. I've also observed that the Chromecast tends to want to max out available hardware and then breaks when things aren't smooth, instead of scaling back.
Only tried it once, but it worked just fine for me. Displayed pictures, played a few videos from the gallery, and played a few rounds of Flappy Bird and Angry Birds on the TV.

Apart from installing new chromecast app, did you update the play services app?

I installed the Visix rom and now it works. Weird
I updated chromecast app on the phone. After that, mirroring worked like a charm.
I can stream photos, video with audio etc..very nice.
Chromecast, stock build 22062. Was working fine a couple of days ago. Then all of the sudden one night from my phone (rooted Galaxy S3, Likewise S5 ROM) I could see the cast button in RealPlayer Cloud, but when I pushed it it would act like it was connecting for a while, and then the cast button would disappear and reappear. However, there was no change on the TV screen - it stayed on the Chromecast background. Doing some more investigation I found that none of the Chromecast apps would connect to it (Netflix, Youtube, etc.). If I go into the actual Chromecast app it would see my Chromecast, and I can see all of the info about it, but if I click on "Backdrop" it scans the network and then says "No Chromecasts found."
I could go onto my Nexus 7, and everything worked fine - I could cast from everything perfectly. However, after I rebooted the Nexus, it started having the same problem as well. I can not cast from anything. It sees the Chromecast, but cannot connect. Now none of my Android devices work with it.
I tried factory resetting the Chromecast. I could connect to the Chromecast and set it up, but it did not solve my problem. The only thing that does work is casting a tab from my laptop.
My thought is this has something to do with my router setup. I have a Watchguard XTM-25, and I am outside the US blocking Google DNS requests. About a week ago I made some configuration changes on my router (bridged two interfaces together) but this should not have affected the Chromecast - it and all the devices go through one access point on the same side of the bridge). Indeed, everything worked after I made the change. I have, however, reverted to the previous setup just in case and still nothing works. It worked for more than a year with this setup.
Any ideas on where I should start looking to fix this? It almost seems that the Chromecast is only able to communicate in one direction - it can't receive anything from any Android device (although it does from my laptop), but it is sending out the signal saying it is there. It is basically useless as it is.
Thanks in advance!
Update: If I connect to a different subnet which goes through a VPN everything works fine, so I am sure it is in router settings. However, I still don't know what to look for.

I've had exactly the same issues with my HTC One Max and HTC EVO LTE. Daughters GS4 works with the 6.5.87 version on my WIFI and my HTC does not work on her home WIFI. After doing everything you've described with no help, I noticed this occured with a recent update of Google Play Services to 6.5.87. I uninstalled it and sideloaded an older version from apkmirror.com (6.1.88) and my Chromecast world was right again. Unfortunatley Google would do a "stealth" upgrade within 24hr back to 6.5.87. So I tried sideloading the newest version (6.5.88). Now You Tube and Google Play Music work fine but the cast button doesn't even show up on the 3rd party apps (TuneIn, Pocket Casts, NetFlix etc.). Don't know what it means, maybe an API incomptability? Hoping for some updates to Services or the apps that will fix this.

Thanks. I tried going back to 6.5.86 but unfortunately it didn't fix it in my case.

I think if you try 6.1.88 you'll find it will work. My question is why and how to fix it.
Same happened to me this week, my SG3 works fine as always with the Chromecast but my SGN 10.1 suddenly stopped working. Cast button is on and Chromecast app can see it but it never connects.

Hi, I've been trying to chromecast for the last few days. I came from a Nexus 6p which worked 100% with chromecast. If i use the web browser and try to cast from a video channel, it never connects to my chromecast or TV (with chromecast built in). I've tried the mirroring option but it never finds a chromecast. I've downloaded Google Home, that seems to have a bug where i can't login to my google account from my P20 Pro.
I've looked online and on here and haven't seen any other posts on it. It would be good to test. I am on the Dual Sim Three UK 8.1.0.102 (C782) variant.
Thanks
It has worked flawlessly using local cast app.
I've always found Google home glitchy.
Sent from my CLT-L29 using Tapatalk
Works flawlessly for me. I've had the P20 Pro since release and I've never had a problem using a Chromecast, although I did recently factory reset my Chromecast, so that may have fixed any issues.
I use Chromecast several times a day, and haven't noticed anything odd.
I'm using Chrome browser to play web-videos and the Google Home app to mirror the screen.
Haven't used the built-in cast/mirror feature, but that has never worked reliably for me on any device
Thanks all, i wonder what is happening here. Even the Google home app isn't working. It's like an authentication error in the app. Chromecast doesn't connect to either of my chromecast devices. Works fine on my old phone still. I wonder if it's my firmware. I am on .102 which i know is really old. Waiting for Three/Huawei to update...

Chromecast mostly works for me. The only thing that doesn't is volume controls from screen off. Apart from that, and the few normal Chromecast glitches, it works well.
I'm casting NFL Gamepass from my P20 Pro to my Nvidia Shield as I type this, it's worked flawlessly whenever I've tried since I got my phone (mine is also dual SIM from Three).
This works very sporadically for me, often from apps that cast (excluding Netflix and YouTube which have a different mechanism for Chromecast discovery) it's as if the refresh devices button doesn't really trigger a proper refresh.
The Google home app often doesn't show my Chromecasts but if I keep it open and wait maybe 5 minutes they'll eventually show.
Anyone seen anything like this?
I had problem with NBA game time app, it didn't display the cast icon after update of the device to .107 but iwas probably due to the implementation of an old. Chromecast API from NBA app itself. After NBA has updated the app is working perfectly
I streamed YouTube to a chromecast this evening without any problem, worked like expected...
No issues here, sounds more like a network issue to me.

Have you guys tried it with apps other than youtube or netflix?
Those work fine for me but they use a different discovery method, see here;
actually... I can't post links but googling "netflix different chromecast discovery" and going to the google developers discovery troubleshooting confirms this.
Network is also ruled out for me as it's still working flawlessly on my old phone and my wife's phone.
I cast all the time from Plex so it's super annoying not being able to find the chromecasts for 10 minutes and the closing apps/G Home, rebooting etc trying to trigger a discovery.
Cheers,
Jon
Oh a further update to my theory of "the refresh/scan isn't working as it should"
I have a CC that turns off when the TV is turned off and this sometimes appears in the list of devices for hours after it's been turned off, like overnight.
I've tried a factory reset but it didn't help, it's across multiple apps so maybe something to do with discovery in the android discovery software itself?
I wish all the apps just used their own discovery like YT/NF.... grumble, grumble...
Further update...
I'm 90% sure this is due to some overly aggressive power saving. I've also noticed the BBC news widget doesn't update as much as it should.
Today I tested resetting a Chromecast and attaching it as a new one. Didn't work. Needed to use another device to get it set up with Google home. Not ideal. Be interesting to see if anyone else can attach a new Chromecast after factory resetting one if anyone fancies some troubleshooting for me?
Go on, be a pal.
Cheers,
Jon
Works flawlessly in streaming from playmovies to casting the screen
I stream from plex or YouTube to a chromecast without problem
Damn... Maybe it's just some devices or a firmware issue then.
I'm on 8.1.0.103, have you a later one? Might be stuck waiting for an update

I'm on .107 firmware, I never tried older ones.
Im also experiencing some problems with chromecast. Basically, some apps, like spotify, sometimes does not show my chromecasts under devices available.
After some tests, I think it is something related to the wifi strength and wifi+. If I disable the sim data, magically all the chromecasts around my house are correctly detected.
Hi everyone,
I can't find any information on this elsewhere and wondered if anyoned else has experienced this or is having this issue.
I have a factory unlocked non-rooted Sprint LG V40 phone. And it was working perfectly fine, but suddenly I noticed that it cannot cast from the YouTube app onto my Sony XBR-65A1E. It keeps giving me the message "There was a problem connecting to XBR-65A1E." The phone casts photos perfectly fine to the TV. And can cast YouTube to the Roku just fine as well.
I tried clearing the cache and data and re-updating the YouTube app. I tried resetting the YouTube app on the TV. Hard resetting the phone. Turning on and off the TV. And nothing seems to work. I thought maybe it was a developer option I put on, but disabling it makes no difference. I deleted some factory sprint apps that I'd never use, but I dont think any that could affect that app. I'm kinda running out of options except factory resetting the phone and TV. And I'd rather not do that, as I'm not even sure if that would work.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide!

I ended up logging into the YouTube app on my TV. Then I went into the YouTube app settings, as I had about given up, and went into Watch ON TV, Thinking I would cast via a pass code. Out of frustration, I kept pressing "Link" text near the TV name a half dozen times or so. And suddenly YouTube app on the TV forced an update pending. I went into the play store app and updated YouTube now. Chromecast also updated. Still didn't work. So I turned off the TV a few mins. Turned it back on, and suddenly we are back. My phone now casts to the tv no problem! Must have been a bad update. Hopefully this helps out some other poor unfortunate soul.
