PSA Now TV does not support the Nvidia Shield TV

by vassie

Been trying for a few days to cast to my first and second generation Shield TV's without much luck, I can connect but nothing plays, after contacting them they said they only support the Chromecast

Confusing as I didn't think there was a different between a Chromecast and a Cast enabled device

Edit: typos

I think the issue is the Google Cast Receiver app published by Google for Android TV devices. The All4 app also will not cast to the Shield TV properly. Rolling this app back to previous versions sems to alter (but not fix) casting from both of these apps. This has been an ongoing discussion / complaint on the All4 beta testers community on Google+. Casting from both apps to the shield worked fine about a year ago. If you look at the play store page for the Google Cast Receiver app it's nothing but complaints from Android TV owners.

So contact them. This forum most likely cant help you unless you get lucky and one of their devs is in here.

Every Playstore listing has developer contact info. Google requires it.

Never heard of it.

Yeah it doesn't work, something to do with the Now TV app...I just bought a Now TV box dirt cheap instead.

nowTV would be a perfect candidate for live channels.
