Hi.
I'm currently on Eureka-Rom 1.1 and using unlocator to cast Netflix to my Chromecast, using my android device.
Everything is fine with some shows, but when I try to cast some of them it gives me an error message like "Sorry, this title is not available to watch instantly".
Why are some shows/movies working and others are not?
Would love some guidance on this matter,
Thanks

I'm using it right now no problems. I was getting that exact same error last night for about 3 hours.

Aight. Did you do something in order to get it working or was it just magical?
Netflix was down. I just waited it out.

Okay. My issue is that every show can be seen on the device but as fast as I'm trying to cast, note, some of them to the chromecast I get this error message.
Still, some shows can be casted without issues but some can't.
It is because chromecast is using your local DNS and not your proxy. The does that ate not available are not available on your local area.

Hi Pemell,
I normally see this issue when the Netflix dns settings on the chromecast don't match that of the device (so the TV is unable to play the content the phone pushes or viceversa.
Are you using custom DNS services on either the chromecast or your control device?

I'm using unlocator and set my phone to use their dns which are 50.112.186.233 & Secondary Server 50.112.143.40.
Is there something I can do to get it to work?
My chromecast is running the latest Eureka-Rom.
Thanks Kyonz

Go to http://your_Chromecast's_IP_address
then go to the Settings tab, Disable Use DHCP (under DNS), click Apply, then set the DNS to one of the Unlocator options.

Exactly what Bhiga said, if you have any issues let us know - but you should see Unlocator as one of the options in the list (I use them too so I made sure they were there).
I've had this problem before with Unlocator on my roku. I think it's an Unlocator issue and not a chromecast issue. I used to have to restart Netflix all the time. Since switched to unotelly and it never happened again.

I found some extra settings on the Chromecast extension for Chrome.
So I went to my Chrome extensions window and clicked "Options" for the Google Cast extension.
In the tab, I right clicked > Inspect Element.
I noticed that a section of the page had a "display: none;" so I removed that and got this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

Just wanted to share my findings in case anyone was interested .
Oh really nice find!
Just tested this and confirmed. The line you are looking for is highlighted in the image.
Needs Reciever app?
Man I thought i was onto something with the whole URL for Flinging Command.
Apparently some have seen in the SDK that an example video using the big buck bunny video url could be casted. http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2332706&page=2
USER: vshah
the sample code, for example, simply passes this URL to chromecast to play "big buck bunny"
http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/VfE_html5.mp4
if smb shares are supported by chromecast, then i see no reason why it shouldn't work.
Click to expand...

Also a great idea by user blackdogdeek
Forgive my possible ignorance, but couldn't you just run a web server on your smb box and give the URL of your local vid stash?
ie - pass http://192.168.1.10/public_html/vids/movie.mp4 to chromecast
Click to expand...

So we need to figure out how to initiate the fling command? Is there a receiver app in the SDK kit or something?
I'm a total noob when it comes to this but this has my jimmies rustled and i'm excited about the possibilities.

Google SDK
Whitelisting Chrome apps
To permit your Chrome sender application to use the SDK, you must register the application's domain in the Google Cast extension for Chrome.
Be sure you are running Chrome version 28 or later.
If you haven't restarted Chrome in a while you may be running an older version; restarting will update Chrome automatically.
In the Chrome omnibox, enter chrome://extensions, and check the Developer mode checkbox to enable developer mode.
Install the Chrome extension for Google Cast.
On the Cast icon in Chrome's upper right corner, click four (4) times.
In the Cast extension, scroll to the Developer options.
In the Cast SDK additional domains field, click Add and enter the domain of your application, for example, "www.mydomain.com."
Code your application's HTML tag as follows:
<html data-cast-api-enabled=”true”>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I couldnt get the above to work but I found it in the options by removing the display:none from <section ng-show="doubleClicks > 1" style="">
So someone who gets "White Listed" could try sending a URL to the ChromeCast?
Edit: So someone can start making a webpage that uses this correctly and just add that domain to the Chromecast extensions whitelist?
see https://developers.google.com/cast/chrome_sender

Adding the domain is just a way of telling your extension that the domain is serving a chromecast receiver. They haven't opened the floodgates for developers so they are keep everything controlled, hence the whitelist process. You do "send" a URL to the chromecast but it's really just for the chrome extension to know that a websocket can be opened for the receiver site and the client (the chrome extension).
Someone else found the same thing and posted it on Reddit. Here's the link
Also note that the user Ranek520 said: "Unfortunately, none of those advanced options are actually hooked up. The JavaScript to store or load the values is removed for the release version of the extension. That's why the values are all blank.
Source: I wrote the max frame rate option."
So currently these options do nothing.
Nice find! Thanks!

Still, they are for a reason. I guess they are waiting for a future update to activate them, or may be some dormant hardware like LTE in Nexus 4.
Anyway, it opens the door to many possibilities...
Ugh I wish I could get this on Android. With certain variations of these settings, the connection is so much better on my Chromebook than it is on any of my android devices.
Thanks, very good

This weekend, while trying to cast a tab in Chrome, ran into the "No Cast devices found." issue that a number of people have complained about. Thankfully, I found a solution quickly and without much frustration.
In my case, I had been running a VPN connection using OpenVPN on a windows TAP adapter. Apparently, when the connection is active, and therefore the virtual adapter, the Chrome plugin gets confused and starts attempting to discover your Chromecast on the VPN adapter. Once I shut down the VPN tunnel, the Chromecast was successfully discovered.
So, in summary, if you run into this issue, and are running VPN tunnel(s) and/or virtual adapters in windows, try disconnecting or even disabling those virtual network adapters.
Hope this helps someone else out there!

In my case it was a firewall, sorted it out by adding a rule to allow local access both ways, with all protocols.
I think Chromecast uses UDP.

I have McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention running on my PC, I saw some blocking messages in the activity log,

After that the Chrome browser detected the CC fine.
That was how I solved mine.
in my case it was not the antivirus
it was some kind of vpn because of the motherboard.
I had to go to windows device manager
and in "network adapters"
disable some virtual wifi miniport adaptes and also a bluetooth personal area network
after that it got detected in chrome

It's a stupid BUG I do have Hyper-V virtual switch ('cause I'm developing apps for Windows Phone), and damn Chromecast can't connect. Yes, disabling and removing all working network settings & virtual adapters will solve the problem, but it's not a solution.
Google MUST fix that bug 'cause there are lot of issues and people reporting the same problem!

Agreed. It's definitely an oversight to assume that the primary interface on the PC is the interface in which the Chromecast resides. The probably ought be doing discovery on all interfaces.
Tunnels/VPNs would definitely cause finding your Chromecast to fail. Disabling Hamachi, for whatever reason, resolved the issue on my laptop.

It is pretty annoying that a phone is required to use the Chromecast's Plex. I have Plex set up fine, and it plays all nice, but I don't want to use my phone as a remote, if I have a laptop or desktop I can use.
I want to stream from my desktop to the Chromecast with Plex. It works fine, but my phone has to be used as a "middleman".
Any way around this? Like using the interface in the Plex web server?

Try using plex.tv, log in and you should be able to cast from there just fine, you will need to setup your Plex server to be seen over the internet correctly within Plex/Web.

You have to set it up in your Plex Media Server/MyPlex settings.
http://127.0.0.1:32400/manage/index.html#!/settings
You have to fill out your login, and connect, if done right you should have 2 green checkmarks, you may have to click Show Advanced Settings to manually set the port, then you will have to port forward that port on your router (I did so because I disable UPnP as a matter of habit).

Yes, and open up Advanced and check the box, "Manually specify port" leaving 32400 filled in, I found it would not work for me otherwise.
I forwarded port 32400 and canyouseeme.org says:
I can see your service on 80.xx.92.xx on port (32400)
Your ISP is not blocking port 32400
When I open the page: http://plex.tv/web/app it's not there though. Still says "You don't have any media servers yet."

When I pick "Local" (my PC obviously) it works fine, but Chromecast is just gray screen.

:\...dunno, when it worked for me the other day (even though I'm not a subscriber) it worked fine (now it no longer works for me, (since i'm not subscribed), so I cannot test it again).
Maybe it needs time to sync? Try restarting your PC and or the Plex server...try it in an incognito chrome browser window (this will make sure you do not have some plugin interfering)...if worse comes to worse, you may have to contact Plex.

Hello.
After I flashed factory stock I cant boot my phone because phone say that no internet but its connected to wifi. No problems on other phone. I tried other roms but same thing. I tried reflash factory stock but still the same. I dont know what to do. I dont have mobile data only wifi in my house. Without internet I cant login to google account so I stuck on start screen where I need to choose language etc. What can I do?
Thank you.
Here is the screenshot

Not wanting to ask stupid questions, but when I've installed new ROMs the first thing I need to do is put in my router key to connect to the router. You have done that?
What key? I flashed hundreds of time and I dont had any problems. I just clicked on wifi ssid than type password and thats it. Trying now with lollipop factory image.
Same with Lollipop factory image
The key I meant was the password for your router when you start the first startup process after flashing. Having the router recognised doesn't mean that you're connected to it - no password, no access. If that's what you've already done, then I have no idea - sorry...
Little update. On lollipop let me to skip account login. Chrome works perfect with wifi, but I cant add my account. I wrote my email address and its just loading and dont let me type password. Also dont let me create another account stuck on loading.

try mobile data. if you can log in using mobile data then there might be some problem with your wifi(internet provider) and wifi router.
Yes with mobile data everything ok. I dont understand why I cant login to my google account using WiFi. Everything else like Chrome works with WiFi. I dont change anything to my router. Maybe my provider change something, but I think I will not have internet at all. Oh and I found another issue I cant go to docs.google.com using WiFi (with mobile data works). As example to Chroma's changelog.
Sorry for so much screenshots, but maybe it will help to fix that problem. So I tried Google translator app over wifi. As you see it's not working and yes I have offline language package, but it's not working somehow, works only on mobile data. Same issue with Google documents app. I thought maybe only Googles apps not working, but nope apps like google+ or inbox works perfect.
"ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED" typically is a DNS issue.
Have you powered off/on your router and/or providers modem to see it that helps at all? Have you tested another device/computer to your wireless to see if it can connect and get out to the Internet?
A few weeks ago I started using a VPN provider and Android App and had to figure out that AA and VPN aren't friends.
With an active VPN connection, I get an AA error screen, explaining to me that with VPN I can't connect to AA.
But what is the workaround? I am using surfshark and in this app, I can't whitelist AA or whitelist the right apps to make the connection without deactivating the VPN connection in total.
My idea to build a workaround was to build a automize process flow but feels like it is impossible because at least with the Automize app you can't deconnect the VPN connection or check if there is a AA connection available.
What do you do to make friends between AA and VPN?
Same Problem here. Please add a workaround for this issue. Thank you AA
I am using MacroDroid and wrote 2 macros to kill Surfshark if car Bluetooth is available and to start Surfshark as soon as this bluetooth device is disconnected. But in this time I can't use a VPN connection anymore.
I also want to try to whitelist the BMW wifi to try if this is enough. But didn't have time to try this in the past. Keep you posted.
Hi
What settings did you make? Quit the app when connected to Bluetooth from the car or from AAWireless, Android Auto? thanks
I tried to whitelist the AA wifi network of my car in the Surfshark application today, but without success, as Surfshark notices that this wifi doesn't have an internet connection.
@ForeverYoung7 my macro quits the app if my car's Bluetooth is connected and my VPN status is active. If the Bluetooth is disconnected, another macro starts a new instance of Surfshark. Surfshark is configured to auto-connect.

Did anyone try to bypass android Auto with Ivacy vpn. I'm trying but no Luck ..... :/
I just ran into this today. I created a VPN tunnel that has one random IP address in the encryption domain...Android Auto still fails. My work around is to disable VPN via tasker when my car bluetooth is connected, but this Android Auto failing on ANY VPN (even if it doesn't do anything) is ridiculous.
I am also playing around with exclusions. However, Google is being asinine on this one.
I couldn't find a solution using rethinkdns BUT I did find a solution using blokada. Blokada 4 and 5 and newer come with tasker integration so I set it to turn off when connected and on when disconnected

Looks that no matter VPN provider, AA does'nt work. I tried with Ivacy and Proton + bypassing ... but no way!
I would recommend using Private Internet Access, it works exceptionally well and is safe! I have used it in person for one year many options to set up and pass problems
I found a solution that works for me. NextDNS, it's got adblocking, tracker blocking, and can used on routers, PCs, phones and everything. For Android just use the private DNS server option and not the app and you're aet
