HBO Now Chromecast support on the Shield TV

by xtrmbikin

Since the HBO Now app was recently updated has anyone tried to stream to the Shield TV via Chromecast? Any issues if it worked?

The app doesn't appear to be picking up either of my Shields or my Nexus Player. It's showing my Sony Android TV, but casting to it doesn't actually work.

(None of them nor my phone are rooted)

Ya the app only sees my Chromecast upstairs. Doesnt see my Shield as a castable device.

Not on the Shield, but I never have the option to cast to the Nexus player. Of course, it could be because I'm rooted on my phone.

Having the same issue. Only sees the chromecast and not the shield.

will have to wait for native app or support for regular casting.

I was using a Sony android tv but noticed the same issue. However; even though it didn't show my tv on my phone or tablet. It did work from my computer. Just might want to try it out if you have a computer with Google chrome and the casting extension installed.
