Check the player's documented Cast capability. Video playing on the phone confirms local playback, but the player may not offer a Cast session or may support only particular media paths.
Why this happens
Local decoding and sending a Cast session are different operations. A generic share button is not proof of Chromecast compatibility.
Work through the steps
- Play a known working source locally.
- Look for the player's documented Cast control.
- Test the receiver using another known Cast-enabled app.
- Ask the player publisher about the exact source and Cast behavior.
What to avoid
Do not promise casting solely from an app screenshot. A player licence or service plan should not be assumed to add a missing app feature.
Know what changed
If other apps cast successfully, the receiver and basic discovery work. Failure limited to the player needs its specific Cast support checked rather than a new account password.
