Came from the galaxy s5 to the s6. Every time I try to cast video I get a message about not enough resources. Screen mirroring works as long as I don't play video, then it crashes. Tried casting directly from several video players, local cast, vlc, etc. only crashes and make the whole phone hang. It's not rooted and completely stock. My v10 works perfectly. Any clue what can cause this?

Hi guys
I was wondering if any of you have come across this? I can watch a song video/trailer/anything on YouTube on my macbook in HD and it will play perfectly via my wireless connection. However, same video, same wireless connection, and my HTC One YouTube app cannot play it. It just constantly freezes and locks up, making it unplayable. Very annoying considering it has a 1080p screen. It seems that it's just not buffering enough?
If you remove HD it will play perfectly. Does anyone else have this problem?
Any HD content is the same. For instance, as an example, this is the World's End HD trailer:
http://youtu.be/n__1Y-N5tQk
Plays fine on Macbook in 720p, stutters and freezes on my HTC One. What is the point in having a 1080p screen if you can't stream even a trailer over a wireless network?!
Anyone noticed this/got a solution? Other than the frankly bizarre 'watch later' which seems to decide whether to download a clip using some sort of black magic tied in with the moon phases?
Dude you posted in the wrong place.
Works fine for me. What are you running for a ROM. What app version of YouTube?
Tell us more information other than its not working properly.

Just use this and you'll be fine. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529715

I'm guessing it's either the phone's connection to the wifi network or (more probable) the YouTube app. Try clearing YouTube app data first and see if it works then. If not try uninstalling the app or uninstalling updates and then download it again. Don't have this issue myself so I'm taking random stabs in the dark for now, but this usually works for most apps.

On the latest update of app and CC firmware. Casting is working fine from YouTube and Netflix. Tried to cast a show I bought and no dice. I push the cast button, select my CC, wait a minute, the tv comes up with "ready", but when I select a show to play it just plays on the phone. Any suggestions? I tried power cycling both devices, clear cache and data for play movies and tv app, and a complete reinstall of said app. Nothing is working. It was working fine when I tried about a week ago

Yup I'm having the exact same issue! Just sits there on the play movies ready screen.
Issue resolved with yesterday's play movies and tv app update. Hopefully it's working for you too!

Hate to dredge up an old issue, but this is affecting me now. I get "Connected" message on my TV screen and "Couldn't play video on "[my CC name]". Touch to try again."
Netflix works fine, Pandora, Youtube. Everything except the "Play Movies & TV" app. I've contacted Google Support, but they are slow as molasses.
Everything is up to date. The only thing that correlates with it not working is upgrading my devices to Kit Kat.

Today I got 2 new Chromecasts. First all worked well. But now I'm getting the same issue you got on both Chromecasts. So it really has to do with the App or maybe I'm blocked for Play Movies because I'm from Germany, I don't know.
But began streaming some movies from Play Movies only to test if everything works and after that I bought a new movie and watched it for about 40 minutes. I stoped it and wanted to continue later but later it didn't start anymore. :crying:
Having same issue as well. Last night streamed tv shows to both my chromecasts from my n7, and today just not loading. Chromecast shows "Connected" but Google Play Movies app just says "Couldn't play video on <name of chromecast>".
Tried my Nexus5 and same behavior. Did a factory reset on one, but still no love.
I suspect this is an issue on the server end but that's merely speculation.
I was able to stream a movie on Play Movies tonight with no problem using my Nexus 7 and a rooted ChromeCast that has the hard coded DNS servers replaced.

Same issue here, from both my Nexus 7 on KitKat and my Galaxy Nexus on Jelly Bean 4.3. The same videos play fine when cast through the YouTube app. Has anyone figured out the cause or a workaround?
same here

Same issue here and the only culprit I can identify is Kit Kat. This didnt start on my Nexus 7 or my Moto X until after I updated to 4.4. I emailed CS and they basically told me to not expect a solution anytime soon.
Here was the final response from Google Support:
Thank you for contacting Google! My apologies that the troubleshooting didn't take.
I have learned of some developments since we last spoke. There is a known issue with Google Play movies at the moment. It appears that is what you have run into since Google Play movies is the only app that you are having casting issues with.
I apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused. Our engineers are aware of this issue, and are currently working on resolution.

I ended up factory resetting my CC and magically the Google Play Movie & TV app started streaming again without errors. I told Google and they must have closed my ticket because next I got a survey invite.

Looks like it's finally live. Not sure if this should go in General or App section.
Does anyone have the Chromecast APK 1.7? can't find it posted anywhere. It's required per the announcement. http://chrome.blogspot.com/2014/07/mirror-your-android-screen-to-tv-with.html
Not needed for our devices. 1.7 i believe is needed for non nexus devices.
I'm on 1.5.5 and it works
That's good. I'm at work, so I assumed every device would need it.
It's very laggy for me ?? Hmm anyone else?
Yup the screen cast is working without app. Once the chromecast is detected on the network the cast screen shows up in the quick settings.
There is little bit lag but even the videos play quite well.
Not sure what I will use it for though.
I'm excited to try it when I get home. I actually tried to check yesterday and it wasn't working. I wanted to cast pictures and allcast was being very slow using Drive. I'm also curious to see how games turn out.
Kept failing to connect for me, gave the phone a restart and couldn't get the button to show up in the quick settings again... Going to bed for now, hopefully I'll have better luck in the morning haha

Honestly, casting photos is what I'm most excited about. AllCast has never worked reliably for me and the Photos app doesn't let you zoom.
Hey can someone try casting sling box or xfinity TV go this is very important to me because I stream all my cable for free on computers and thinking about canceling my ISP and just using T-Mobile.
Here's the link to the new Chromecast APK if native support isn't working. http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...v1-7-screen-casting-integration-apk-download/
It works flawless with xfinity tv go app. Jus fyi

I'll be using it mainly for Xfinity app & emulators on my TV in my bedroom!

The first thing I tested it with was MXPlayer and a video format not supported by Chromecast. It worked flawlessly.
I tried flappy bird (I know) and it worked surprisingly well. Probably not 100% playable as there is an expected delay. However, I think other games that don't require constant input might work well. Video actually does work well for me. Also, I thought it was cool that if you lock the phone when casting it gives the CRT animation on the TV.
My sound doesn't work. Plays sound choppy distorted and very low. When I use normal YouTube with Chromecast not Cast Screen, it plays sound normal. Strange. Anyone else?
I have the same issue when casting screen however I'm running Android l and looking at the chrome cast forums here it looks like it's a bug with Android l or the beta chrome cast app

I was thinking the Walking Dead games would be cool to play with this.
Hi my question is is there a player except localcast which allows me to stream videos on my tv via chromecast but let the audio play from my phone? i searched a lot of websites but could not find anything hope someone can help me here
I could see this being possible by running a UPnP server on the Chromecast and diverting/mirroring the audio through that. I think you'd probably need a rooted Chromecast to do it at this stage though (which I don't have).

I actually got that to happen accidentally while testing casting from Chrome Beta on the phone. I started a Vimeo video playing on the phone, switched to full screen, clicked the Chromecast icon, the video loaded on the Chromecast and started playing, the phone screen switched to control playing on the Chromecast - but the audio continued on the phone. That didn't happen when I stopped and started again, only the first time.
As the title says, I only seem to have connectivity issues with my Galaxy Tab S8 when I'm using the youtube app. It will frequently claim connected without internet. Also that was with using an Arris G34 Gateway (modem/router in 1).
I can play Dragon Quest Tact for 3-4 hours straight or facebook or any other game really without it doing this. It seems that the second I switch to the youtube app is when it decides to do this, just got this thing about 4 days ago. My tab s6 lite, S20FE, roku streambar, xbox, alexa & lg tv do not suffer from a similar issue as this one... Is there an easy fix for this or did I just get a bad tablet?
I don't have the exact same issue, but did have for a couple of days the issue with youtube not wanting to load videos. When it eventually does, the quality is at the lowest format...changing the quality results in video not playing. I uninstalled the app, restarted the tablet, re-installed youtube and no issues so far
