Googlecast on Sharp Aquos, problems....

by platnium_years

Since I cannot get DTVN on my Google TV, I attempted today to try and "cast" from my telephone. Casting from the telephone to a Google Chromecast (1st gen) worked on the bedroom tv, but when attempting to cast to the Googlecast built into the TV, the video was not locking with an unviewable screen limited to the upper third. Appeared to incompatible resolution. Tested then with Youtube casting from the telephone to the TV an all was fine. Any thoughts?

What the hell is DTVN?

This is not really the best place to find answers for Cast related issues since it's intended for android TV boxes. I would check /r/Chromecast for an answer.

That said I do believe that the app developers are able to discriminate between an actual Chromecast and a different cast ready device. This happened with the Shield TV with some Sports apps a while back.
