Hi,
I am in Poland and using HGO Go application on my Nexus 7.
The problem is HBO Go is not finding my Chromecast - message says 'No Device' and wile playing the movie cast button is not active.
At the same time other applications are working with chromecast.
Does anyone have a clue what might be the problem?
Thanks,
Piotr

Hi all,
I hope this question was not raised before. I tried to use the search function but it didn't work.
I use Pandora outside outside the US using Hola to unblock Pandora. If Hola is started, Pandora 5.1.1 works perfectly.
But when I try to connect Pandora to ChromeCast (pressing the Chromecast Sign at the bottom line right to the volume slider) the playback stops and the Play/Pause button shows the right arrow (which indicates 'press me to play'). But I can push the button as often as I want, the stream never starts, the button always shows the arrow...
Any idea??
Thanks a lot for any help.
The only way to cast Pandora to the Chromecast outside the U.S. is either tab-casting, which is easy and works fine, or a VPN from your router to a U.S. gateway.
Obviously it can't work to attempt to use the Chromecast icon from within Pandora if you haven't set up a U.S. VPN/DNS for the Chromecast itself, since it will be contacting Pandora independently to pick up the stream. And as it happens, the currently-available DNS services that support Pandora on other platforms don't work for the Chromecast due to some unknown quirk. Might get solved in the future, might not.

Try the advanced search (gear icon).
Since it looks like Hola seems to use a browser extension or proxy app, it only works where the extension or app can run.
Pandora works in the normal DIAL usage, so Chromecast is a separate client. It receives a request from the casting application that is essentially "Hey, play this URL" where "this URL" is a US Pandora link.
And because Chromecast isn't running Hola, it works like a normal client that isn't running Hola - and it tries to open the US Pandora link - but it can't.
Even though your client can see and access out-of-region content (via Hola), Chromecast can't, so that's why it can't get to what you're asking it to access.
So, unless you can get Chromecast itself to run Hola (unlikely, as Chromecast is an appliance/accessory not a fully-configurable device) or Hola has a DNS-based usage like Unlocator/Unotelly/others, Chromecast will only be able to access things that are "normally" accessible in your region.

Pandora casts for me in Canada using NetProtect beta with the appropriate iptables scripts set up on my Tomato router. I would assume their sister service Unblock Us would work too.

Thanks for all the answers.

Thanks again,

Has anyone gotten screen casting to work? When I try through the Chromecast app it says "connecting", the TV screen goes black, then the app says "disconnecting" and the TV goes back to the normal Chromecast desktop. In my notification list it continues to say "casting to screen" and tapping "disconnect" doesn't make it go away, I have to force close Google Play Services. If I go to Settings->Display->Cast Screen it just says "no nearby devices found". Other apps work with Chromecast, just not screen casting.
I'm currently using ARHD 6.1 GE (4.4.2 GPE), Chromecast 1.7.4, Google Play Services 5.0.84 and dongle firmware 17250.
Folks
My friend has a stock S3 mini and is trying to use bubblebupnp to stream from his phone to his chromecast.
Bubble fails with this error:
chromecast error: failed to connect to google play services for casting NETWORK ERROR
I have searched but not found an answer.
Its stock rom, not rooted, so running ICS?
Youtube app casts fine using the cast button.
I updated google play services but same issue occurs.
I download allcast, but it did not find the chromecast, it just kept searching.
Have restarted and reset the chromecast several times, but it works fine with my phone, so it's something specifically with his phone.
Any ideas why bubble or allcast are not working.? Its the latest version of bubble, so it has to be someting on the phone itself..
Hi all. LONG time browser. First time poster. Hope you guys can assist. Tried searching and found no results. Kinda surprised it hasn't been brought up before.
So here goes. Is it at all possible to bypass/skip the "cast to device" prompt on an Android device. As I only have one (1) Chromecast device it seems kinda redundant to select it every time I have something to cast. Granted certain apps like Plex, Youtube, Netflix have the option to connect from the get go and bypass the said prompt. I am hoping to achieve this function constantly. More specifically with Google Chrome on Android. As I stream a lot of anime, choosing my Chromecast after every episode seems redundant, especially when I only have one (1) Chromecast in the household.
Can anyone assist? Thanks, GIGA.

I know but it would still be a nice feature if at all possible. Btw I realized I can somewhat simulate the desired effect if I play another video while the current one is still casting (Chrome Android). In this way the connection doesn't break. But if the video stops or completes then I once again have to be prompted "cast to device" to watch another video. Is it possible for someone create an addon/extension/plugin for Chrome Android that adds the option to connect constantly like Netflix, Plex, Youtube etc?

+1....even i hate this !! Hopefully chrome will soon have a option to connect to chromecast and video will play automatically once opened in the browser !!
Dear all,
while I ve done all the appropriate steps ( I think so) to install google home, create room and link chromecast with room I cannot control chromecast via google home though.
Whatever I say to my phone it turns to google search.
Phone and chromecast are on the same unrestricted network and I can normally cast youtube or other apps to chromecast via my phone.
Any ideas?
THX A LOT IN ADVANCED GUYS.
