why is it that x2 pro can screencast everything but Netflix movie?
the movie is black blank video
only subtitle of the movie appears on tv
anyone has this issue? how to resolve?
tried using several casting devices, all failed
Facing the same issue. No solutions found yet
I think that Netflix doesn't let you screencast
All those apps like Netflix, Prime, NHK, Jio Cinema have protected screen and cannot normal cast to screen (Miracast/Screen Mirroring).
Prime can cast to prime supported devices.
And all can cast to Chromecast only using the Google home app.

Today I was trying to watch a live YouTube stream from my phone. I got the message that live streams were not permitted on my Chromecast.
I then tried casting the same stream from my desktop. It worked. To verify that I wasn't just casting a chrome tab, I closed all of the chrome windows. The stream kept working.
I also tried casting the stream from chrome beta for android. I didn't get an error, but the casting didn't work. I just got a black screen on the phone and a YouTube screen on the TV.
Is there a way around this restriction? Can I cast a live feed from my android phone to my Chromecast?
Thanks,
Ken F

Being that live streams aren't supposed to work, either you got lucky, or they're working on it.
Not much you can do but wait to see if YouTube updates its info and/or capabilities.
Live streams work for me from my laptop but not from my phone as well. I don't think it's a mistake, I just don't think the mobile app has added that feature yet.
As I understand it the chromecast doesnt render the video but connects to youtube and plays a specially renderd version for the chrome cast, I guess this is not available live. When you cast from a pc the pc renders the video for you.
YouTube added this support on the Website just recently.....
Coming to an Android App near you at some point!

Private Videos too!

Looks like the next Android and iOS will remove the live limitation to casting. They may be beta testing it by only offering it on the website for the moment.
I think u should remove it, maybe it is beta?
I am using a ifast video to record from my iPad. I am wondering if I can use chromecast to cast it to my t.v? The only app that has let me cast video is ez cast which doesnt record and has very poor quality. I can't get the Google cast extension on iPad and the only other apps I've found only cast pre-recorded videos. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
When I or my girl leave the main TV room to use the restroom or feed the dog, etc, is there a method or a 3rd party app that will allow the casted app (Netflix or HBOGo mostly) to still play on the phone while also casting to the TV? This would avoid having to pause the show we're watching. FWIW, screen mirroring from the Chromecast app while watching Netflix locally on the phone... is way too laggy to be a viable solution.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Mirroring the screen is the only option I know of. You either cast or have to switching it from cast to on the phone.

The other main intention of streaming via CC, besides the big screen, was to let the phone idle during playback to save battery. But you can still stream thru the phone to tv with all the disadvantages.
I figured out how to enable screen casting but it only gives me the option for youtube app. Is there any movie player apps that work also? Is there a way to set it for everything?
To add, when I goto cast option in settings I see my neighbor's Roku and my laptop screen but not my tv. When I open the youtube app I only see my tv. It's an LG smart tv but maybe 2013 model
May your TV only supports miracast, which isn't working on nougat
Yes I think LG tvs are Miracast and the youtube app must be using Miracast. So maybe that's why only the youtube app works but nothing else
I noticed I get the icon to mirror my phone to my LG tv immediately when I'm using my youtube app but not when I play a movie with the stock video player. Is there a video app that has built in Miracast? I'll try VLC since it mentions Miracast and see when I get home.

Native miracast is hit and miss as Google seems to have coded it to not fully work as to move users to Chromecast. Try LocalCast on playstore and play with the settings to see if that works.
I personally have never been able to cast successfully on my N6. I caved in and bought a Chromecast lol
I'll probably get a roku and I think it can cast to it but it might need a casting app for the roku and for the phone
