I hate to start a new thread, so I figured I'd simply ask on an existing thread. I'm experiencing something similar as far as I can tell. I begin streaming to my Chromecast but while it's connected, it doesn't seem to be moving past the "loading" message. Here are some more specifics, if it helps.
- Television is showing the Videostream logo with the "Problems? community" message
- Cast button on my chrome browser is illuminated blue, and when clicked shows "‹ Back to device list / Videostream; Playing on Chromecast / Cast this tab / Stop casting"
- When on the actual Videostream tab, I am not seeing the usual query string of letters that normally pops up.
- On the Videostream tab I'm getting these messages (literally, as if they have not populated with the video metadata)
"Video title"
"Playing on Chromecast"
"Loading"
"0:00" - Other things seem to be casting fine, such as youtube, hulu or netflix.
- I have my windows firewall turned off, and just uninstalled AVG just to be certain it wasn't blocking anything
- As recently as two days ago, Videostream was working fine, and I've done no program updates (as far as I know)
- I'm sure it's a simple fix, I'm just not very bright
Also, let me preemptively thank anyone willing to help. A while back I had an issue that Matt@videostream was able to help me with in what I could only describe as lightning speed. Big thanks for such a useful community and developers that truly know what they're doing. Like I said, I'm sure I'm overlooking something but I'm a bit overworked and underslept, so at present not all my faculties are with me.
Edit: And I did in fact try rebooting my computer, router, and Chromecast. (http://bit.ly/1rElrHr)
Edit 2: For what it's worth, I've been messing with settings and what's odd is that it seems to be connected to my chromecast (hence the Videostream logo on my TV) however it's the videostream extension that is perpetually "loading". It's not loading any of the metadata on the video itself (or any video) so it appears that it's connected, but maybe the video playing capability is being inhibited somehow? Also, I'm trying to play a variety of movies (many of which worked recently) so I doubt it's a video extension error (such as not playing MP4 or Mov, etc).
