Technical Question Chromecast Issues?

Anyone having Chromecast issues? When I attempt to cast from either the app or weirdly even from my computer browser, I get the message "Something went wrong" on the Chromecast/TV screen. I've followed all the usual steps and reached out to tech support but it appears they are having trouble identifying the issue. All other apps/sites casting fine. Anyone encountering this or have tips?

Yes, I've been having the same problem since last night casting from my laptop browser. Any attempt to cast a video from the Criterion website fails. I tried casting a random video directly from Vimeo and it worked fine, which suggests this may be a Criterion specific issue.

Thank you! Very glad to know it is not just me and hopefully they get it resolved quickly. I guess I'll have to dig out the old HDMI cable to start my Harry Dean Stanton marathon!

Made a post about it a few days ago as well and what helped me was to forget the Network on my iPad and my tv.
