Chromecast with Google TV live tab through vpn spinning

by CoSteve1

I'm using a VPN to help with the streaming limitations imposed by my cell provider. It's working well with the exception of the Live Tab on Chromecast with Google TV (CWGT). I've got a subscription to YoutubeTV (YTTV) and that app works great but I can't get the live listing on the main page to work when I have the VPN turned on. I assume it's getting it's information from YTTV.

I use the Windscribe app on CWGT and can exclude applications from going through the VPN but I don't know which ones to pick. It allows me to exclude system applications.

I've tried excluding the YTTV app and it didn't help. I'm connected to a VPN very close to my physical location in Texas.

Any suggestions? Wighout the VPN, I'm limited to 480p resolution. With the VPN, I get the best resolution the application supports so it really makes a difference.

Thanks

I don't know the cause, but wonder if it has something to do with determining location for licensing reasons. I've encountered sites and apps that won't load unless I disable my VPN. I use Surfshark.

I think I got it working. I went into the Windscribe app settings on the CCWGT and set it to manually use Wireguard and port 65xxx (can't remember the port it offered). It seems to be working now. Time will tell of something changes.

I also have this same issue right now, any workaround?
