Sony TV cast functionality broken

by wardy22

I just bought a new Sony TV. It's a XBR-X43800D. The Chromecast functionality seems broken. The devices shows up as an option to cast to but when I try to cast to it from my phone it immediately disconnects or tells me "There was a problem connecting to XBR-43X800D. Any ideas? I've updated the cast receiver app on the TV and I've tried disabling and power cycling as well.

Update: I did a factory reset and casting from YouTube and Netflix now work but screen mirroring and Google Music still do not

Update 2: stopped working again

Update 3: should have probably mentioned that I have a standard Chromecast that works 100%

It happens every now and then in my 810 as well. Restarting from settings menu solves it for me. One time when I was getting this error with YouTube app, I tried casting from Windows Chrome browser. That worked fine.

Might be a router thing, like UPnP or something not getting through. Or the router is shitting itself.

Is it possible to try an ethernet connection instead of wireless? Maybe something like powerlines if a dedicated cable is not possible?

I've had similar issues with Sony Google Cast as well, but it does connect, but ends up dropping a while later.
