Chromecast not working with android 5.1.1

ericobp — Sun, 08 Nov 2015 01:45:08 GMT

My girlfriend has a moto g2 with android 5.0.2 and is able to see chromecast as a device.

I have a moto g3 with android 5.1.1 and I can't see the chromecast device.

both our spotifiy apps are at the same version (4.0.0.8.0.0).

She is using the free version, I am on premium paid version.

we are using the same wifi and the same chromecast 1st gen.

Any ideas?

Hello, and welcome to the Spotify Community!

I would advise to check to see if your chromecast is running the latest version. Only that latest version of CC OS supports Spotify.

Hi Joe, firmware: 1.16.44433. Can you tell if it is the latest? As mentioned my girlfriend's phone works fine and mine doesn't. We are using the same chromecast device and WiFi connection. So I believe the problem is on my phone.

Seems to be a problem with the combination of moto g3, Spotify and Chromecast. I haven't found a solution yet. See my thread below:

After the latest Spotify update it's working with Android 5.1.1 and Chromecast. Thanks to App developers.
