Chromecast problems - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
using my cyanogen 12.1 on HTC one m7 I experience lags and freezes during chromecast.
Since the problems are common to popcorntime and localcast app, and were not there using the stock ROM I wondered whether the culprit could be in cyanogen.
Note that the chromecast dongle downloaded a major upgrade recently that may have changed protocols.

Does the Starburst ROM have Wifi problems?

I recently installed the Starburst ROM, and I noticed that I get a lot of "network error" messages when I try to stream from Amazon MP3 cloud. I never had these issues on stock.
Any advice/help on fixing this issue?
Also, I wanted to post this in the Starburst ROM thread, but I don't have enough access yet.
I'm using the StarBurst ROM and it works good for me in my visible 2.6 and 5GHz
networks. I know some android devices has problems with channels > 11 but my GT with the Starburst ROM works fine. Both Youtube streaming and Spotify works.
Yea, Youtube works fine for me too. So maybe this just a problem with Amazon MP3?

[Q] Anyone having problems with netflix.apk?

Hi everyone, I am running kahlpowers miui v4 (yes I know it is an old rom and am about to upgrade) but I am having problems with the netflix.apk from the market. When I play a video, it doesnt play smoothly at all. The video buffers fine but the video looks REALLY laggy and the audio is out of sync. My connection is fine because I am connected to wifi. Is anyone else getting this issue too? and if so, what rom are you using?
THANKS...
[Netflix app version 1.3.0 build 246]
I have switched in the last day to CM6 and I am still getting the same issues in that rom with netflix.

[Q] Any non-TP owners having trouble with Netflix (garbled video)

Hey all,
I wanted to see if a problem with Netflix is unique to the HP Touchpad running CM11 (4.4.4). The app works fine when browsing for titles, but as soon as I try and play anything, the video is garbled for 30-60 seconds (audio is fine) after which it magically works (although I think there might be audio/video sync issues at that point). Is anyone with a different device/ROM seeing this same problem? I haven't tried it yet but others are saying that going back to an older version of the Netflix app (pre the updated theme) makes everything work fine so it seems like it's the app, not the ROM/device.

[Q] Video Playback from NAS keeps stopping... Lollipop issue?

Hi,
I've got a 2013 Nexus 7 and a Western Digital MyBook network drive. Until recently both have worked perfectly and I've always been able to watch stored videos without problem.
Recently I've been finding that videos keep stopping after about 5 minutes and refusing to restart. Only thing that has changed is upgrade to Lollipop... This the likely culprit? I hear that Lollipop has caused video playback issues, but mine is different to those described online.
I'm pretty sure it's not a NAS or W-LAN fault as I can play vids on my HTC One (M7) without problem (running KitKat)
Anyone got any tips for me?
Cheers!

Chromecast

Anyone else having trouble connecting this phone to Chromecast 2? I have no trouble connecting my Redmi 3 pro but my wife's RN2 just connects and the immediately disconnects.
Hi, i don't have problem to connect to chromecast. I use with Netflix, Plex, Youtube & Tunein Radio.
I also don't have any problems using chromecast (mainly youtube) with my redmi note 2 (prime edition). Maybe the problem is ROM related. Or you could try to clear cache/dalvik cache - maybe a little bit buggy
He means screen mirrorring problems, not app related casting, like youtube etc. Screen mirrorring is not working with chromecast 2 on latest stable roms, not even on the latest developer roms. Previous stable roms, there weren't any problems. I started a bug thread on the official miui forum. In xiaomi.eu they can confirm this bug as well, I have it too.
