    When casting the i-Player programme appears then I wait and wait some more but seems unable to play.

    Despite turning wifi off and on then recasting it does the same again.

    Any ideas please, don’t normally have a problem. Thanks.

    What tablet? Has it ever worked?

    I’ve got a Samsung Tab 4 tablet and I’ve never been able to get Chromecast working on it and when I did some googling, it turns out some Samsungs don’t support Chromecast.. 🙁

    Mine was dicky the other night with same symptoms trying to watch trapped. Hudl 1. So I watched it on the youview iplayer instead.

    Will try again tonight and report back.

    Edit : have just checked on my phone and that’s fine

    Have sent boy to get tablet and will try it again

    Edit 2: although the program will cast from phone, iplayer app gets stuck in memory and won’t shut down properly on the phone, same as tablet last night. Looks like a shonky iplayer app update the other day.

    Thanks chaps. Yes, it does get used with i-Player, managed to cast something else with i-Player today so not the Samsung tablet. I think it’s a 3.

    Trying to re-watch the Icelandic drama from last night, boo!

    Do you not have anything else you can iplayer on? I think the fridge is the only device left in the house that can’t run iplayer.

    Thanks Stoner, can’t say I noticed whether mine had been updated.

    😀 I’ll try the PC.

    Try casting from chrome on the pc to chromecast. I think the problem is at device not chromecast

    You’ve lost me there! Actually it could well be due to shonky internet here, on another go slow.
