It’s a pretty old one, but I never use it because like before, I cast some Olympics to it and then it runs for a minute or so then just starts rebooting. So I end up switching to air playing the Apple TV

The only reason I care is because if I chromecast it then the iPad used for the initial setup can be used for something else. With airplay you’re kinda tied to the tv

Firmware 1.49.25xxxxx

Source was sky go from iOS

Have you tried another/different power supply?

 

They get cranky when they don't get sufficient power.

Yeah I did just see that. It’s currently powered by the tv….which incidentally I use to tell openHAB the tv is on
