Can't add chromecast, just casts current tab

[joshstrange]

Whenever I go to the "New Chromecast" screen and it auto-pops the chromecast selector and I choose one it simply casts the current tab, it doesn't populate the Name and so I can't add the chromecast. I have tried on 3 different google accounts, 4 different chromecast apps and combination of waiting, rebooting, resetting, checking for offerers, etc.... Nothing works, the first chromecast I set up works but none of the other ones do. I've been trying for months now to get this setup at work to no avail, does anyone have any suggestions that I might not have tried yet?

Yes all the devices are added as test devices and no my app is not published.

hey @joshstrange , went through a similar issue here, my problem was that the machine I was running GreenScreen on changed its IP address, so I had to update the application's' "Receiver Application URL". Just mentioning it in case you are running into the same problem. Good luck!

I have the same issue as @joshstrange i also have tried many attempts to get a second chrome cast added and have not succeeded. I have reviewed my developer console checked my serial numbers and the IP address is static in my network. It seems strange that it allows me to add the First one though. Any help would be great! Thanks guys

The only way I was able to "fix" this was to publish the app.

I was having the very same problem and found a solution. It's to disable "Guest mode" to allow mirroring from local apps. Once this was disabled it all worked like a charm.

From google:

Disabling guest mode

If your app depends on mirroring or casting locally stored media, you must disable guest mode. See Edit application information for the steps to disable guest mode.
