Built in Chromecast on Hisense 4k tv rarely appears when i try to cast.

by Pickinanameainteasy

I'm having trouble making the built in chromecast pop up when i press the cast button on my apps like YouTube and hulu.

I have 2 Chromecast in my apartment, one regular Chromecast and the built in Chromecast on this tv.

The regular one works fine but the built in one doesn't. I've tried casting while an app is open and when the tv is in the home screen but it rarely appears no matter what.

The tv is running on my guest ssid but even when my phone and the tv are set to my non-guest ssid.

I've also casted successfully from my phone on non-guest ssid to tv on guest ssid before so i dont think its a problem about the ssid.

So what am i doing wrong? Is there an app i need to download or certain conditions i need to meet. Please help

I had a similar issue with the ADT-3 and used the CastReceiver app to be able to more consistently cast without issues.

I have had the same issue as well in the past few days. Make sure the apps are updated in the Google Play store. Once I did that, it worked again.

Did you get it to work? This morning the cast was working but now I don't see my tv as an option for casting.
