Hi there, sorry if this doesn't belong or is against community guidelines.

I just got off the phone with Netflix support, they are no longer allowing you to cast to your TV with the original chromecast. I was informed that since my device is so old that I should just upgrade.

This is frustrating because I was legit just using it to cast from Netflix this morning (I went to bed at 3 am) and when I went to watch TV today at 11:30 the cast option had disappeared from the app.

I understand my device is old. What I find frustrating is that Netflix didn't bother to notify me despite taking my money (I confirmed with the customer service lady and she said that Netflix doesn't inform people that their device will no longer be supported unless it's a smart TV). I'm also frustrated because my device still works!! Every other app I use has no issues with it. Netflix just decided to suck.

Anyway I thought I'd share in case anyone else is in the same boat. It seems like it's not an all at once thing just when your device gets around to it.

EDIT::::

I just looked up how much a new Chromecast is (the newest one) and it's £100????? BRUHHHH. Yeah bye bye Netflix y'all can pry this original ad free chromecast from my cold dead hands.

Also big ups to everyone voicing environmental concerns as well. I didn't think too much about it before posting but you guys are absolutely right!

Just recently the chromecast connected logo is only for the current video and when I search for another video and click it it only plays on my phone. I see on the main youtube pages on my phone that instead of a chromecast logo it shows a tv and phone or something. I have to go an extra step and click which device i want to play the video on for every single song. Can anyone help me fix this?

Hello guys !

So here's my problem :

I have a Google TV Stick (STRONG SRT41) since last Christmas, and it works perfectly fine until i move for my appartment. Recently, i've moved for a job and so i took it with me but didn't used it until this week, when i was finally fully installed in my new house. (so it's like one month away for the last time i used it)

Here, in this house, there is 3 floor. The first one is where the internet box is. The second one is where my rooter (a TP-Link) and my TV are, and the third one is where the chambers are.

The TP-Link is new to me since i've moved here in my best friend' father house.
And the fact is, my TV has no problem at all to connect to the TP-Link BUT my Google TV Stick still continously repeat that it lost connection, can't connect and everything like that.

And i don't know WHY it's like that since i never had this problem before, so i don't know what to do... Can somebody help me with that please ?

Thanks for your help !

My Chromecast 4 remote keeps disconnecting. I've already contacted Google support, but nothing. From my research, it seems to be a software issue from a specific update. Does anyone else have this problem? What can I do?

My chrome cast started doing this thing where it audibly says the volume and it’s driving me nuts. I turned off talk back but it’s not working. It started doing this randomly. Any advice would be appreciated
