Hello all! I have a Sony XBR65X850C and just purchased a Google Home. I'm unable to use the Home to control the TV (I mainly care about sending videos to cast and voice controls of those videos). I know this is because the current cast version of the tv set is 1.19(and some change), and that Google Home requries the version to be at 1.21.
What I am not sure about is how often Android TV sets receive cast version updates... If it is only periodically- when Sony pushes larger firmware updates- I am going to be waiting quite some time for support. It might not ever come.
Has anybody else had any luck with Google Home + Android TV?
Should I just go out and buy a Chromecast Ultra and disable the cast functions of the set itself?
EDIT: Thanks to 513. Run your play store updates fellow idiots!
First check your Play Store if there is any pending update.
Or, if you know how to sideload APK on Android TV, download this file and install it : http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-cast-receiver/google-cast-receiver-1-21-75534-release/google-cast-receiver-1-21-75534-android-apk-download/
