I don't know if it was an update to the Google Cast Receiver or Google Play Services, but now Google Cast does not work on my Nexus Player at all.

Seems that the OTA 6.0 update has broken Google Casting on the Nexus player.. about 12pm eastern time I called Asus and the tech told.me he didn't know how I got an OTA update
Completely broken for me on Shield since a day ago, but it has often been wonky on Chromecast as well.
It was broken for a couple of days last week, but it's working fine now for us on the SHIELD
Won't work on my Shield right now. Even after a factory reset.
Yeah, I'm having issues with it too. Hopefully they are able to fix it soon.
The only options I see for casting are my TVs built in software, and the fire stick, my nexus and shield TV is not showing up.
used the youtube app BTW.
If you want proof that Google doesn't care about AndroidTV, this is yet another example. Cast is completely broken on my Nexus Player that autoupdated to 6.0 over the weekend.
UGH thank you jesus! I thought I was going CRAZY last night when I couldn't get my XBR49X830C to show up. Leave it to reddit to be literally the only place online with any answers!
I've been having the same issue for a day or two. Just fixed it by going into Settings > Apps, Force quit Google Cast, Uninstalled updates for Google Cast, then reinstalled the update.
Completely broken on the shield as of today for me.
It will show the cast button from the phone but it won't cast any apps.
Not sure if related but for the past couple days my Sony XBR-49X830C 4k TV doesnt even show up on any casting apps on my phone or from chrome on my PC. I calld Sony Customer Support (which is a fucking joke) and they confirmed that its because of the latest update my TV got. She also said they're working on an update to fix it and it should be out next week but I'd take that with a shaker of salt.
Can confirm I have this issue as well. All my Chromecast devices show up as a cast target, but not my nexus player..... This shit is getting old....
I have a recently purchased Nexus Player. I was just coming to ask about google cast. It worked the other day and now it doesn't. Also the android remote on my droid phone wouldn't connect, then it did, now it won't.

Same here - Google cast doesn't work on my Shield TV anymore even after a factory reset.
I´m also having this issue and have talked with nvidia and they are working on it but its the Cast update that came that f..... it up .
Hey guys, Cast on Android TV team member here. The problem didn't have to do with either Marshmallow or the most recent APK update (though the timing was understandably suspicious), but we're pushing an updated APK that resolves the actual issue.
You should see version 1.16.45911 (Settings > Google Cast) once you've updated.
