It wont even see my Nexus Player with google cast.
Anyone else had any luck?
Also is there anyway to update the cast app?

HBO Now is the same way. It seems some programs only work directly with a Chromecast rather than with the cast API itself.
I had hoped my Nexus Player could be basically a super Chromecast with Kodi, but the inconsistency of the cast implementation has been extremely frustrating.
Was going to post this exact same thing.
Because the NP is not the same device as a Chromecast v1, basically.
It seems that applications can choose which specific devices to support, regardless of the Cast protocol being generic.
I'm hoping there's a Google Cast Receiver update that's coming soon to turn it on. Didn't the initial announcement say 1st gen Google Cast devices would get in the coming weeks, not just 1st gen Chromecast?
Maybe they're developing an Android TV app instead???
Maybe I'm just making things up as we go????
But really, I'd love for either:
A) Chromecast support on the Nexus Player
B) A Nexus Player app
Hell, who am I kidding, why not both??
