Google Cast Receiver

i cant make this work i have a sony bravia tv with chromecast built in and i have a hp laptop with windows 10 and google etc, doesnt work and lifes too f******ing short for this

not workinnnng !!!!!!!

You really need to fix this! as it is one of the main feature for any android TV. It is always disconnecting, image stucking and freezing. With the latest version installed on my Sony Bravia 2016 TV, I even couldn't get it to show on my desktop when I tried to cast, is not recognized anymore. I had to uninstall the update then it shows, but still I had the problem of disconnecting and stucking or low quality between time to time.

I have to restart my Sony KD-55X8505C every few days, as Cast suddenly doesn't start when I choose it from the cast icon in any Google Cast supported app on my phone. A restart solves the issue every single tie. I either restart from the Settings / About menu, or by long press on the power button on the remote.

This app is horribly flawed. Not even Netflix works with it, although other apps work fine, and some not at all. It's the only reason I switched from Android to official Android TV but it doesn't work nearly as well as a Chromecast.

Using Google Cast Receiver on a Sony Android TV. I expected this to work exactly like Chromecast, but surprisingly it's worse. Does not have feature parity with an actual Chromecast. Netflix and HBO Now do not work at all with this; have to use the Android TV apps only. YouTube and Twitch do work exactly as expected. Don't understand why some apps treat this differently from Chromecast. No ability to customize the "daydream" screen unlike Chromecast. This wild inconsistency between what should be near identical Google casting receivers is inexcusable.

The Google Cast cannot working on my TV after install this update, event I uninstall this version. May I know how to fix this issues? My TV is Sharp LC-U35T.

Flaky as. Will often disconnect, drop the connection, not show up on the network, or do unexpected things e.g. trying to cast Netflix will open the Netflix app instead of actually playing the thing you want. So buggy!!

Version 1.21.75534 (28th Oct 2016) updated on my Philips 49PUS7170 Android TV with software version QV15E.0.5.38.117 Casting Youtube videos had finally been fixed (garbled 2nd video due to 4k), after not working for over half a year and since purchase, then this update comes out and randomly gets stuck "loading...". This is a different issue, but effectively all I can do is try to cast a video, then attempt another when it gets stuck loading, then if I disconnect 2 times, I have to reboot the tv, since any source is now blank. I've had circa 2 months (out of 10) of working casting, I can once again no longer trust it enough to use reliably. It would be great to have a fix, and while you're at it, please work with Philips to bring 4k youtube videos to this year's 4k Android TVs and update the Youtube for Android TV app too, it's ancient compared to standard app.

I have a Sony KDL-55W805C and I haven't managed to cast anything from Youtube or any other source. My Nexus is able to find the TV, but fails connecting to it and sending video.

On my Android Bravia TV used to work, now it's a few months that, after a "connecting" toast, I get an error from my Nexus 4 and casting attempt fails.

Had to uninstall updates on Sony Bravia 4K tv for this app to get it to work properly. A main feature of the TV and the update makes it jitter. Sort it out please.

Casting youtube to nvidia shield tv stopped working (25/10/2016). Plays the first 1-2 seconds and then I get spinning wheel.

HEY GOOGLE!!! FIX THIS! As has been reported REPEATEDLY, this app rarely works! Computer cannot find the TV any longer, but I have changed nothing! Sony Android TV!

Most of the time doesn't work, can't give more than one star because I seldom use this, but when I want to use it always get problems, is it too much to ask to get the equivalent of a $35 device in a full fledged Android TV device like the Nvidia Shield TV which is several times more powerful?

Works great with my Nexus Player when casting from my computer or phone, but not great at all with Google Home. Worked great the first day with Google Home device, then ever since GH can't cast to the Nexus player at all. Hoping for a fix soon.

Picked up a Google Home Speaker but since this has been installed I'm not able to connect to the Sony 4K 2015 Bravia

Worthless after the 1.2 updates. Casting a Google Chrome tab will play the audio and a frozen image on the Shield TV, leaving a muted video playing on my PC.

I have sony bravia 55x700D tv and i can not use google cast from youtube.You really need to fix this very quickly

A disaster on Shield TV, most apps do not cast at all. Including Google Photos etc.

v1.19 worked (casting Galaxy S7 to Nexus Player). v1.20 and v1.21 doesn't work. I'm gonna downgrade to v1.19 and stop auto-update.

Cast receiver suddenly stopped working on my NVIDIA shield with the 1.21.75534 update. Most videos from youtube play a few seconds and then stop.

When it works it is perfect thing, unfortunately it is very rare, and how is possible that casting work better from Chrome on Windows NB, than from Youtube app on Android N phone?

Casting works usually. Sometimes a restart is needed to get it to become available. Worst part is it is not compatible with Google Home.

The most recent update fixed all of my syncing issues with the Nexus Player.

Latest update completely broke the cast receiver on Nvidia Shield. Doesn't even connect.

Most recent update loses 60FPS playback on NVIDIA Shield. It was awesome before now it's broken! :( UPDATE FIX!

Need to uninstall updates before casting with some apps, really annoying

Does not work with Netflix. It opens the netflix app on my shield tv instead of displaying for it to be ready to accept a cast.

Just stopped working on the Sony TV - one of the main reasons to buy an Android TV

No 4K support? All the wallpapers appear in 1080p instead of 4k on Nvidia shield tv (4k)

My Nvidia Shield no longer shows up on my Cast devices!!!! PLEASE FIX!

Doesn't work.

Would be awesome if Multi-Room support for audio could be added?

Casting constantly fails (Nexus Player). Not an issue using my Chromecast stick... what a shame. Fix it Google!

Crashes all the time. This App seems to freeze up alot on my Sony Android TV. At least a reset of the App fixes the problem, but I have to do this way too often.

Hundreds of users are complaining, because this useless app crashes immediately if you try to mirror your screen or cast anything from Google Chrome to it. It is very clear, that this doesn't work at all. How can Google ignore a problem like this for month???

Worked fine until recently. Now whenever I try to cast something to my Nvidia Shield TV, it gives me an error.

Working great for awhile now. Seamless and faster than a Chromecast. Only issue is using a VPN makes it stutter.

Unfortunately, whenever (and as soon as) I try to cast something from Google Photos (tried with 3 different phones, of different brands, running different Android versions), I get an instant crash of Google Cast Receiver. Unfortunately #2, the very same thing happens whenever I try to cast a tab from my (desktop) browser with the latest version of the Cast extension installed. In my experience, of all cast-enabled applications that I have seen so far, only Youtube and Netflix seem to work. With a "real" (hardware) Chromecast (that I can use only when I visit my mom), none of these limitations occur and I can use all the apps without the "Google Cast Receiver stopped" message. I have posted photos and videos on Google+, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram trying to show the issues that I'm seeing to Google employees and I have only been met with silence. I ALWAYS submit reports with logs whenever the application crashes (and always the same steps trigger the problem). I'm doing my homework to solve the problem, but this is a defective product. I regret purchasing a TV that was advertised as an Android TV, since I paid a premium for this, I can't return it and it works so poorly.
