Netflix and chromecast

Can anyone tell me why my Netflix has stopped casting to chromecast from my IPad? All was fine on Wednesdy but as from last night the chromecast icon has gone. All other chromecast apps work.

You could try resetting the App, instructions for resetting the Netflix app here

https://help.netflix.com/en/node/103...ButtonClick&q=

Expand the section headed "if you are seeing an error message..." third bullet point.

If that doesn't work then only other thing I can think of is re-install.

Thanks for the reply. I have now done everything including a re - install and it still will not cast yet everything else will - maybe the problem is at their end and I must just wait.

I doubt it will be anything to do with Netflix. it is the app that controls casting not them. Other than them removing the facility from the app entirely.

Have you tried some of the other things in that link I provided under the top section about not seeing the Cast icon?

Another thing to try is a complete power off and back on on the iPad, ie press the power button till you see the Power Off slider, use that to completely power down the iPad. Then restart it. That might reset any funnies with other software on the iPad that is conflicting with the Netflix app.

Have you reset the Chromecast?

Occasionally I have to get mine working by pulling out the power cable from the Chromecast, then killing the Chromecast and Netflix app on my (Android) tablet. And then it all works again.

I have tried very thing I think I can try. It is strange that all the other apps are locking on to chromecast and yet Netlix does not.

Crikey - talk about trial and error - finally got it working again - have connected the usb to a different port and bingo - but I really do not understand why.
