Chromecast with OS 5.1.1

Since Google is in conflict with the min. sys, requirements for Chromecast, spec. OS 6.0+ verses OS 5.1 in Apple Store app description, it appears that OS 5.1 is not functional, in spite of the fact that that the app is not blocked during download. Without jail breaking OS 5.1.1, has anyone used the Chromecast app successfully with 5.1,1?

loaded Chromecast app, then Chrome on iPad1 w/iOS 5.1.1
... warned on download that only older version of Chrome is compatible
Net...
(retrograde)Chrome has no Chromecast extension; it can't cast.
Youtube app casts, but
- a new version is needed -- again, newer, but the newest is incompatible.
- when casting, the iPad screen is blanked.
Netflix is the only other app noted as compatible, but it's low priority for me.
Chrome was my main reason for buying Chromecast, for casting .pdf/doc/ppt/xls files
from iPhone, iPad, & Android mobile devices.
The net value is a lot lower for me w/out iPad1.

Chromecast with Autonomous Access Points

I have a client that has a Chromecast, with a 1010 and a 1130 Autonomous access points. I can not get the Chromecast to work. Can someone tell me how to enable mDNS, or Multicast on these access points?

Hi Abhishek,
On which software code of Autonomous AP, you can run above command ?
We prefer you to check these commands & make sure they works in the products mentioned in this thread before responding.
Otherwise your/Cisco credibility lost based on the responses you make, if they are not related to the question asked.
As per below, this command is applicable for IOS based controllers & not applicable to Autonomous AP.

Go to Solution.

Hello.
I can confirm that I'm also using ChromeCast with firmware version 19084.
I purchased ChromeCast yesterday in the hope that I would be able to use it to watch bt sport through it, and so far, it hasn't worked once.
YouTube and GooglePlay video work fine.
I'm using the BT Sport App on an LG G3 and can watch the channels fine directly on the phone through the app, but I get the same error on screen as falco76 when I try to cast it to my TV.
Please help!!
I've tried turning my router, mobile phone and ChromeCast off and on again to no avail.
Regards,
James

Iphone 5 to tv usb

I have just purchased my new I phone 5S and want to buy the right cable or adapter to connect it to my TV. My television has both USB and HDMi ports but looking online if I buy the apple lightning adapter (£40) and a HDMi cable it works out quite expensive. Is it possible to use a USB adapter (£6) and HDMI to HDMI? Please if I'm talking nonsense any advice to the contrary would be gratefully received.
Thanks
David H

You cannot transfer video and sound through usb on an ipad, The lightning adapter and cable are the appropriate choice,
or AppleTV or Chromecast with airplay is another viable option, (not all apps support airplay mirroring)

WiFi Controller MSM760

Hi,
We have a MSM760 Wifi Controller within our enterprise.
We have 49 Access pointe E-MSM430 connected and working perfectly.
All users conect and get an IP from our DHCP (Same range)
I noticed a weird behavior with our ChromeCast devices.
When my SmartPhone, PC, Tablet, NOtebook are conected to the same Access POint with the ChromeCast i will not be able to discover the ChromeCast inside the ChromeCast APP
When i move away to any other location within the building and connect my Smartphone to a diffrent Accesspoint i will be able to see the ChromeCast device within the ChromeAPP.
ChromeCast with any device using the same Accesspoint do not communicate.
Chromecast with any device using diffrent accesspoint can communicate perfectly.
What could be the reason?
I tried to connect the ChromeCAst using diffrent TVs and diffrent locations and Accesspoints with diffrent channels, same behavior.
SNMP system name: WIFI_CONTROLLER Software version: 5.7.3.0-sr2-13986 Hardware revision: B:48 Serial number: SG2493N2JP
If you need any further information please let me know.
Thank you in advanced.

Connecting Chrome Cast to Hub 4 and 5 - Updated 13...

Hi Guys,
We understand some people are having connection problems with Chrome Cast to BT’s Home hub 4 and 5.
We have discovered that Chrome Cast doesn't seem to like the 5Ghz wireless band and this is the setting that the router will automatically try and connect to the device with. The solution is to change the SSID on the 5Ghz band so that you can force Chrome Cast to use the 2.4Ghz band. You can do this through the hub manager, to make this easy for you we have set out some simple instructions below.
1. Access the Hub Manager on your computer by typing api.home into the address bar of the Internet browser, then click Advanced Settings
2. Next enter the Hub Manager admin password (found on the Hub settings card at the back of the Hub) and click OK
3. Click Continue to Advanced Settings
4. Click Wireless
5. From here you can change the SSID name being broadcast. In this example here we've added 2.4GHz at the end of the name to easily identify this as the 2.4GHZ band. But you can change the name to anything you want. In the Wireless SSID section enter a new name and clickApply
6. Click Yes for the changes to be applied
7. Now you've changed the SSID, you'll need to reconnect any other wireless devices you've previously connected
Update - When you follow the above process for changing the SSID of the 5 GHz Band you will see an option which reads 'Sync with 2.4GHz' This option need to be set to 'No'. I have added a screen shot below,
Update: We continue to test this and it appears that the BT Home Hub 5A, should be able to Chromecast with the Chromecast on 2.4GHz SSID and the streaming device on the 5GHz SSID. Smart Setup has to be disabled to enable Chromecast to work though. To disable Smart Setup please see this link for a step by step guide, Switching Smart Setup on and off on the BT Home Hub 4 or Hub 5
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Sean

Linksys E2500 Multicast

Hi, I've recently been trying to use the multicast function on my tv however am having trouble using this router. I believe the router is the problem because when I try with mobile hotspot it works perfectly. Also I have the multicast filter box unchecked, and have tried it with the box being checked as well. Please any help is appreciated.

sure, I am using a chromecast with a vizio tv and sending files that are store on tablet or phone work fine. However, when sending a video directly from online to tv does not work. This happens on my samsung tv in the living room as well. However, when using mobile hotspot I have no issues so I have narrowed it down to the router. I figured unfiltering multicast would do the trick but it was already unchecked by default. Are there any settings for IGMP?
Hi aamir147,
What is the security mode of your router? Set it to WPA/WPA2 personal . Change the network name for both bands, it should be different from each other. Wireless channel should be set to 1,3,6 or 9. How far is your vizio tv and samsung tv from the router? it might be also that the connectionis not that strong.

Can I use the Chrome for iOS app with Chromecast?

I recently purchased a Chromecast for my home television to see how it stacks up to the Apple TV3 (which I also have). I see very clearly that Netflix and YouTube are well integrated for use with this dongle but I do not see that Chrome for iOS is (on iPhone or iPad). It seems counterintuitive to not have the Chrome iOS app work with Chromecast even though other iOS apps do (Netflix;Youtube). Can anyone confirm or deny whether or not we can, or in the near future be able to, use the iOS Chrome app with Chromecast? It is in this very department that AppleTV has the Chromecast beaten, among others.
Also, Google Groups seems difficult to navigate in order to post my question there. If anyone has any insight for that as well I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you!

Google has made an App specifically to control the ChromeCast from an iOS device rather than integrating the control into the Browser.

Is there a way to project a slide show using iPad with Chromecast? Other better solution?

When I travel for business I like to try to just bring my iPad and no laptop. I need to be able to project some slides (could be .ppt or .pdf). I have Chromecast installed and working on the TV. I also have the latest "free" version of Powerpoint on my iPad. I do not pay for the MS360 subscription at this time - I only use it to view slides as needed and edit on laptop. Series 3 iPad with latest software.
1) Is there a way to project a slide show to a projector or TV using Chromecast in conjunction with either Dropbox or Powerpoint, on the iPad?
or in absence of a "yes"
2) What is the best toy to buy so that I can mirror my iPad screen to a projector / TV? Note I don't need a $100 Apple TV brick, please.
Thanks,

Sudden unsupported signal with Chromecast

While watching a show from Netflix, streaming from my nexus 4, 4.4.4 to our TV, a 42RV530U, the tv casting screen suddenly just has my TVs message "unsupported video signal". If I unplug Chromecast from the HDMI port on the back of the TV, it changes to "no signal", so it appears my TV recognizes there is a device there, but out of nowhere, doesn't recognize it?? We've been using this system for months!
I tried switching it to a different HDMI port and changing the input, which works properly with our other devices like Xbox, so I know it's not a problem with the port. I tried the Xbox on all ports/inputs and they're all fine, and just once I was able to get the Chromecast home screen back and stream Netflix long enough for one episode via a different HDMI port, but then it did the same "unsupported signal" thing, and now no matter what port/input I'm on, it won't register. The Netflix app still says it's playing and connected to Chromecast however, so I feel it's something to do with the TV and not Chromecast.
I did troubleshoot all the steps, finally ending with holding the button on Chromecast until it reset. Attempted to set it up again, but I cannot see the code on the screen. Just the same TV message, "unsupported signal".
Why would it support it just fine, and then suddenly stop, and now the TV doesn't recognize it at all??

I found the problem. Somehow, something happened to the kernel image and corrupted it. On a whim I re-installed the package, getting 4.0.1-1 again and after that the system boots fine again.
No idea what happened to it, there were no crash events or bad dismounts etc. that I know of. I guess Windows might have done something.
Thanks!

Is the Teltra technicolor TG797n V3 compatible with Chromecast?

I want to stream (legal) Internet movie content to my non-smart TV.I am wanting to subscribe to either Stan or Netflix media streaming services and it seems I need to buy a Chromecast for my non-smart TV in order to view/cast stream onto my home TV.Essentially, I have heard there could be some problem with my new Technicolor TG797n V3 Modem router as Chromecast does not list the modem as a compatible device. Therefore I am afraid my wifi may not cast to the TV. Will I be wasting my $ on a chromecast that isn't compatible with my Technicolor modem? Should I hook up my old modem router to create some sort of filtering loop? I am completely in the dark. Any tips, suggestions, instructions or explanations appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi lorie, you shouldn't have any problems with the Chromecast. Great device have been using it since day one. We are streaming to a non smart TV with it, from a tablet; lappy and desktop PC. Eeverything from Movies, the new Presto service, you name it. The chromecast just needs to be given access (Via password etc. ) to your home wiFi and you'll be off and running. Never seen any complaints about it and the TG797.

Chromecast Constant Communication with my Phone

I have a Galaxy S3, running Android 4.3 and a Fios Actiontec rev I.
I'm having constant communication between my Chromecast and my Android phone and it's causing wakelocks on my phone (my phone won't sleep, so it's killing the battery faster).
The Plex app constantly communicating with my Chomecast and causing a wlan_rx_wake kernel wakelock.
I haven't run plex today at all and my plex server PC is off.
I ran a network traffic logger and I see 2 entries constantly.
Plex SRC 192.168.1.127 DST 239.255.255.250
Kernel SRC 192.168.1.127 DST 192.168.1.116
192.168.1.127 is my Chromecast IP and 192.168.1.116 is my phone IP.
If I force close plex, it stops temporarily, but plex soon gets loaded again and starts the communication over.
Same thing happens with the Vevo app, which is chromecast enabled as well. I've tried disabling both UPnP and IGMP Proxy, but nothing changed.
What's going on here? How can I get this to stop? It's preventing the phone from going into deep sleep.

Firstly Louise you're basically shouting at fellow Telstra customers here, this is a basic customer to customer help forum. Sound s like you might need to take advantage of the official Telstra complaint channels to have these matters investigated for you. You find the appropriate options for this at the fllowing link: https://say.telstra.com.au/customer/general/forms/Email-Complaint Oh, and it's never a good idea on a public internet forum to post personal details, eg. your email address, might be an idea to edit your post and remove it.

E4200 Problems with Chromecast interference

I have a E4200 ver1 and when my Chromecast is on I can't connect to the Internet. This is interesting because my computer is connected vie Ethernet, so technically the wireless chrome cast should not block the Internet connection but it does. It is definitely the Chromcast. I had a similar problem with my home alarm systems camera but that connected via Ethernet so I can see where there might be a problem. I have not been able to solve hat, so if you also happen to have advice with that I would appreciate help

What wireless modes are you using?
Ensure the SSID is different between 2.4 and 5Ghz.
Try single mode G or N or mixed G and N on 2.4Ghz and single mode N or Mixed on 5Ghz?
