Guys,
Mate of mine has a Samsung S4 and bought a Chromecast.
He's having trouble streaming to his telly as the option to 'cast' isn't available?
Can anyone help?

Re: Chromecast not casting
No idea tbh.
He believes (after some google searching) it won't work on an S4.
I find that hard to believe!
Figured someone here would have it working with an S4....
Are there two versions of that phone though?
From what I can gather there is the 'normal' one and a "google play" version?
Seems Chromecast only works on the Play version?

Re: Chromecast not casting
He needs to also add the Chromecast app to his phone and make sure it connects from there.

Re: Chromecast not casting
Just checked in with him.
He's running the chromecast app and connecting to it fine.
There should be an option within the app to 'cast' - he isn't getting that for some reason.
*shrugs*

Re: Chromecast not casting
As far as I know you throw from within the app you are using. So in YouTube there should be a cast function.

Yep, the little TV icon from within the YouTube app. Maybe he needs to update the YouTube app as well.

Re: Chromecast not casting
Cool, I'll let him know.
Thanks guys!
Is there a limit to what you can cast?
He was interested in Foxtel Go/Play (whatever it's called) and then casting it to his tv.
Is that doable?

Re: Chromecast not casting
Only if the app supports it. It'll have the little icon in the app to connect to it. If it doesn't now it may in the future.
