I have stumped the 2nd level tech support at Google. I called about the issue and they had me try a whole host of things and none worked. We're talking factory reset of the nexus player, restarting the nexus player, force stopping and clearing data on the various apps I was trying to cast from, uninstalling and reinstalling the apps, and even restarting router and forgetting and reconnecting to my network on the phone. None worked. The guy is going to have higher level engineers try to figure it out and get back to me.
Here are my details:
I have a Verizon LG G4 running 5.1. I also have a nexus 9 tablet running 6.0. Neither of them will recognize my nexus player running 6.0 but they will recognize my chromecast (original style, not the new one if those are even out yet.)
