Google TV/Chromecast don’t change inputs on my Android TVs

by Brian719

I have a Sony A1E OLED (2017) and an LGC7 OLED (2019). One has the new googleTV an the other an older Chromecast Ultra. Despite turning on the CEC mode, when i try to play music through my home group or when I try to watch Netflix from my phone, the TVs power on but they don’t switch the the input that has these devices plugged into HDMI.

I tried changing the input and swapping the devices and TVs. I pushed every button on the TV settings so many times, and I can not get this to work the way it is intended.

When I got the Sony, it did function properly, so I suspect a TV update disabled this.

Any suggestions other than push the input button on the remote?

Thanks for the upvote (I need more karma to post on some subreddits), but what I can really use is an answer why chromecast doesn't work as promised.
