Since yesterday, my factory remote hasn't been working for my Chromecast. The white light remains lit. I've tried removing the batteries and holding the home button as described on the google support page but the light never begins blinking.

I've actually experienced this issue in the past and resolved it by connecting to the Chromecast with the Android TV Remote app , unbinding the factory remote, and then rebinding it. Thing is, ever since the remote stopped working, the Android TV Remote app has failed to detect either of the Chromecast devices in my house.

I checked to ensure everything was on the same network, and after confirming such still had no success connecting the app. Oddly enough, I am able to use the same phone to cast to my tv from native streaming apps, so I know for a fact that the network is connected and working.

I've unplugged my Chromecast, reset my router (and upgraded it's firmware) and have *still* found no success. I am beginning to feel incredibly frustrated. Has anyone experienced a similar issue, or have any more trouble shooting steps I should try?
