A few days ago the CC was working as expected. Now I can no longer display video, just audio.
Appreciate any help
I'm not sure if this is your issue but I had the same issue. Turning off the TV and turning back on fixed it. https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/3228183?hl=en
If you saw your Chromecast's loading screen ("Chromecast" with a spinning Chrome logo) but the home screen is black, you could be experiencing an HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) with your TV. This issue is easily fixed by rebooting your TV. Turn your TV off, unplug it, turn everything back on and try again.

Ok, so my television is an Emerson. It does not have CEC that I know of. In the settings I don't see an option to disable CEC or anything like it. However, chromecast seems to change the input just fine, although it does not turn the TV on. The problem I'm having is, as long as the chromecast is plugged in, it changes my input. If I decide I'm done casting and change the channel to a regular tv channel, chromecast just changes it right back. Even if its just on the "Ready to Cast" screen. Is there a way of disabling chromecast that I'm not aware of? Or do i actually have to reach behind my tv and unplug it whenever I don't want to cast?
Also, is it good to just leave this thing plugged in and powered up indefinitely? I hear it gets hot after a while.
I got the device when it was released and it hasn't been unplugged for long. Their engineers design for the heat. Min has been on for a few hours and is at 110F. My phone gets hotter during a call. The back of the t If Google thought it was going to catch on fire they would have taped a unplug warning on the device.

So this is my problem, every time I switch from the chromecast to another HDMI port and then I go back to chromecast it takes like a minute to show after all the display flashing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9GYcIZz7gQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I had a similar issue with my chromecast, and for me it turned out that my little HDMI cable extender thing it came with was broken. When I connected my chromecast without it, the display feedback went away.
I'm not using the extender, but if I power the chromecast off and on it will show instantly.

It could be that your TV is just having trouble with the HDCP negotiations needed to get the HDMI connection working. My DVD player always takes 10+ seconds to register with my TV over HDMI.
But a faulty cable could be part of it too - a bad HDMI cable may sabotage the HDCP negotiations, resulting in multiple failed attempts.
I've had this issue a couple of times. Turned on Chromcast and it booted ok. The TV shows the wallpaper and then turns to snow, back to the wallpaper then snow again in about the same rate as your video.
Rebooting the chromecast fixes it. While annoying it only happens once every 20+ boots for me.
I use the little HDMI extender, but I don't replug it, just reboot the device itself to get rid of it.

Snow is a symptom of failure of the HDCP decryption - the devices will need to renegotiate the handshake. Rebooting either/both devices should fix it, as will unplug/re-plugging the HDMI connection.
If your Chromecast and TV are both on wall power (ie, Chromecast doesn't get powered down) it should stay synced.
For me it started happening when I switch the image Zoom options to Automatic.
Has anybody still have the blank screen issue?
Mine did it last night blank screen but the hdmi is still working when hooked to my tv.
Is there a software fix for this? I am on the stock 10.26.1.18 4.3 JB.
The touch screen still work when hooked up to the tv though hdmi just the screen is off.
Is it something to do with smart saver mode or display sleep.
I used the hdmi hookup to factory rest and shut off and when I plugged the tablet back in the screen started working again, I hope somebody can help because I really love the tablet otherwise.
Thanks

Right now as I exited YouTube as I just finished a video, the lock screen is the thumbnail and won't go away. I know this is no major issue. Just wanted to make it public. I'll just restart my phone. Yes, it is not playing audio in the background.
Yeah I've had the same issue, over the last few weeks! It doesn't do it all the time, though.
This also happens to me. What ROM are you using? I had the bug on LS so I wonder if its a ROM issue or a lollipop bug.
Its a lollipop issue. Seems to happen on YouTube mostly. But I think others had the issue with other apps. Quickest fix is to open an app that uses a lock screen widget. I use PowerAmp and start a song, turn off the screen, turn screen back on, unlock and stop Power Amp. Lock screen is then back to normal.
It also happens with tune in radio. The lock screen shows the logo of the last station listened to until I reboot the phone.
Happens to me on stock hopefully a fix comes out soon

my remix mini was working fine before i turned it off. after turning it on, its black screen with unsupported mode from the tv. what could have possibly happened? i tried using different hdmi and plugging to different outlet.
Possibly a refresh rate difference. 50vs 60hz

Try to plug it on different TV or Monitor, It happened to me, I plugged it on my 4k TV, but when I switched it to my 720p TV, I got the same screen with unsupported mode. To fixed it, I had to plug it back on my 4k Tv, change the Screen Resolution to work on my 720p tv.
