Is anyone else having trouble with this? Apparently Google are aware of a problem with Chromecast and are advising people not to try to reset anything, but they don't seem to be able to do anything about fixing it so far.

No sorry, I don't cast these because they are already on my TV as apps.

Someone may do...

Our TV is very old and so is not smart, so no apps. Maybe that's why nobody else has said that they have the same problem - we're just behind the times (again)!

Perhaps you could fit a firestick or roku?
We had a roku with ours successfully for years.

It wasn't expensive.
We've only had this "new" TV a year or so.

We have a Thing on the TV, NotSpaghetti, and it has alsways worked perfectly well, but this seems to be a major problem that Google is having with Chromcast at the moment. Apparently it will take days, or even weeks, to fix! Technology, eh?

Eventually tech wears out It’s not because it has actually worn out it’s just not compatible with the new tech.
