My Chromecast has stopped working. The other day I could cast, now it says no devices found. I don’t know what has changed. I have two devices, both with built-in Chromecast. One is an Nvidia Shield, the other a semi-clone (Mycool). They are on wired connection.
My networking know-how is minimal, but I have done all the usual checks. No conflicting IP addresses and that sort of thing. Both devices show up as Chromecast on the Windows network folder on the laptop I am using so that part is working. They also both have Internet connectivity. The laptop is Win 7. I also have tested with Chrome browser on others, including Win 10, wired and wi-fi. I am testing on actual Chrome browsers, not Chrome-based, and they are up to date. They all give the same result.
I don’t see any network errors and the laptop sees both Chromecast devices as well as a share on the network, so all that seems to be working okay. Everything seems to be working correctly, except Chrome keeps insisting it can’t find any Chromecast devices.
Can anyone help me diagnose this? I haven’t a clue what to try next. I don’t know what has caused this. I can’t think of any changes I might have made. To recap, I have two separate Android devices with built-in Chromecast. Both were working up to a few days ago. Both show up on the Windows network folder. But all attempts to cast using latest Chrome Browser on multiple computers fail with no devices found. What could cause this? The lack of any diagnostic information is very frustrating.
