Hi all, does anyone use this phone to cast to Chromecast? I cannot get this to successfully Cast to any of my four devices which are Android TV, Samsung TV and two Chromecasts. I've tried using VLC player and Plex to cast and the same thing happens with both, the TV screen goes blank you can see it's trying to do something, and after a few minutes of this it just disconnects and fails. Occasionally it will play about a minute of something and then just disconnect and fail, this is very frustrating. The weird thing is that casting YouTube works fine.
Can anyone with this phone confirm casting works or not for you? Any ideas on how I can fix this?
Thanks!

Hi,
Some of you may remember me from my "Android Kit Kat 4.4.2 on Motorola Xoom' thread. My Xoom WI-FI now has the latest ROM
4.4.2-20140207-1805+0100-wingray-HOMADE. I just loaded this version about 45 minutes ago. Earlier today I loaded the Netflix Android App
from the Google Play store. I started to play an episode of the Netflix Series House of cards. When the episode started the subtitles (captions) were enabled. So I touched the little icon on the screen and I chose no captions. Once I did that the program continued to play without any sound what so ever. So, I tried another program. I chose a Movie that I had never watched on any TV, Blu-ray player or other device.
The same phenomena occurred. Movie played with subtitles on, I turn them off and the sound stops playing. Yes, I even plugged in Headphones.
This Phenomena does not occur when i play movies through my FIREFOX browser on my PC nor does it occur on my TV or Blu-ray player.
So, I called NETFLIX tech Support. They had me try several things (like use another WIFI network in this case the WIFI hotspot on my phone) to see if the problem was related to my router.
Also, on my WIFI XOOM Tablet the playback of netflix Streaming freezes and the buffering circle spins. This may be also related to issues with the ROM and the Netflix Android app. I do have a Wireless N network and I am sitting in the room where the Router is.
None of these problems occurred with the last GOOGLE approved ROM.
The Netflix tech found my thread from January. It is possible that NETFLIX techs will be posting to this forum. So, has anyone had any issues with NETFLIX using this ROM?
Thank you in advance

I have not experienced any netflix issues with this ROM. I even use it through chromecast. I've tried what you stated and did not experience the issue.

I can confirm the behavior experienced by bigfootmd. Netflix is very sensitive and will stop playing sound. If you exit netflix and restart, sound is back. In addition, the HDMI output freezes and becomes unuseable, independent of the sound problem.
I am running 4.4.2.20140215-1029+0100-wingray-HOMEMADE
Domunus: when you play through Chromecast, your feed goes directly to the Chromecast device and does not pass through your xoom. Your xoom is simply a remote control. This is probably why you do not see the problem. When I cast, I do not see the problem either.
I have three OPOs which will play Netflix just fine, and cast non-Netflix video from the phone to the TV, via Netgear P2TV dongle or strain to my Samsung TV. However, I can not find a solution to cast Netflix from the OPO to the TV! My G3 works just fine, either directly to the TV or via the NetGear. Both phones are on KK 4.4.4s
I've searched a bit for solutions about XDA and other locations, and see very little about this, and no answers. Does anyone have success casting Netflix, and if so is there something additional/different than standard casting that I need to do?
Thank you.
Hello
i purchased CS918 last week, and i have a little but annoying problem
when i stream a video it stops after exactly 5 minutes, if i open the streaming link again it will resume but still for exactly 5 minutes and stops again.
The video is smooth, doesnt freeze or anything.
In XBMC\Youtube it works fine, no stopping,
i tried changing players still doesnt help, tried switching between Wifi and Ethernet still the same.
Any suggestions?
Thank you
Came from the galaxy s5 to the s6. Every time I try to cast video I get a message about not enough resources. Screen mirroring works as long as I don't play video, then it crashes. Tried casting directly from several video players, local cast, vlc, etc. only crashes and make the whole phone hang. It's not rooted and completely stock. My v10 works perfectly. Any clue what can cause this?
The TV works fine with another phone but not with my phone. Mine use Lineage 14.1 and Cast didn't see the TV. Although if I use Youtube app to cast, it works. But I don't want to just cast Youtube videos, I want to project my phone to my TV. Anyone can help me fix this? I've already tried some others miracast/cast screen/... but got no luck except Youtube.
