Up until recently we had no problems with Chromecast devices. I now have two seperate sites that are reporting they can't get their Chromecast device to work. Does anyone know how the VNS should be configured to support Chromecast? Again, this was working and now is not.
The firmware version is 09.01.02.0017. We're scheduled to upgrade to the latest on Saturday.
The only multicast I had set up was mDNS/Bonjour and that seemed to work. I just added the one that Doug suggests and am asking the users to test. We'll see.
And yes, the underlying switching infrastructure is also set up to handle multicasting.
So if you bridge the Chromcast client with a bridge@AP topology into the same VLAN as the stream source with a role contain to VLAN X and allow everything it should work.
did you change the configuration or upgraded the controller to an new firmware release? I think chromecast needs multicast support enabled. This is by default disabled.
What firmware release do you use?
In newer release notes I've readed that you have to create multicast handling rules/policies to make multicast work.
Are you allowing UPnP 239.255.255.250 under the multicast tab located in the topology you are using? Also can you provide the code you are seeing issues with?
