My wife has been using a OnePlus3 since Last summer and has never been able to cast from the YouTube app (the phone casts from other apps and can do screen cast find).
Until last week I was using a Nexus 5x and could cast from YouTube perfectly, as can my kids from their Android phones.
Anyway my new OnePlus3T arrived last week and I am having the same issue, cannot cast from the YouTube app. Both OnePluses are running stock OxygenOS 4.01. Upgrading my wife's to that version didn't have any impact on YouTube casting.
I've done loads of Google searching and can't find out much about the issue. Has anyone else been experiencing this issue? Of so did you find a solution?
I'd be grateful for any help. ?

Managed to resolve this, was actually an issue to do with Youtube blocking rules setup on my router! :$
Hi, I have the same issue.. Can you let me know how you fixed this?

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.
I have recently been unable to get any app to display on my TV. Most of the time I get audio but that's about it. I've tried hulu, YouTube, Google movies, and Google music with no luck. The home screen works fine though which is strange. Is there anyone who has had a similar issue?

I think you need to describe exactly what you are trying to use(Chrome on PC, Android , etc.) and what other apps alone or in combination. After that, I'm sure someone can help you.
Please also tell us the manufacturer and model of your wireless router.
Hello,
Has anyone else got any problems when mirroring device screen to Chromecast? I understand that the picture is a little off the screen as i had a op2. I have tried my misses Galaxy S6 and that works perfectly fine but with my op3t it doesnt even connect it just comes up with disconnected.
TIA.
It is a know issue in the current OOS 3.5.X version I believe. As long as I am not mistaken, it is solved in the Open Beta versions, just be a little bit more patient and it should work again with OOS 4.0
Yea I use chromecast to mirror my phone all the time, but my OP3T doesn't even connect o the chromecast. Hopefully its true and they have addressed this in OOS4.
Thank god it's a known issue! I was so confused as to why my phone isn't mirroring to Mi Box, which has Google cast built in. Let's hope they resolve it soon.

Screen cast won't work on Oxygen OS 3.5.3-3.5.4. It does work with no issues on custom roms based on android 7.1.1. though so we I guess we have to wait for Oxygen OS based on nougat
Currently screen cast simply fails without even connecting. At the same time google cast as such (casting youtube videos or casting spotify) works with no issues.

I have no such problem with my 3t, works with no problem with chromecast and chromecast audio.
Wondering if anyone else has had problems with the 10 Pro and YouTube TV. On mine, it simply doesn't work. Never. An error message pops up reading "There was a problem while playing (Playback ID: xxxxxxxxxx).
Rooted phone with Android 13. This problem is relatively common if you go by Google, but none of the typical suggestions (clear the cache, lower resolution, etc.) has any effect whatsoever. I suspect this is a problem similar to the Netflix issue. My rooted Pixel 6 Pro plays YouTube TV perfectly.
Any ideas? Many thanks for any assistance or suggestions.

As far as I am aware, YouTube does not check for root and has nothing in place if the device is rooted.
Perhaps try uninstalling updates for YouTube?!
This is YouTube TV. I don't know if their policy is any different than that of YouTube.

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
