Problems with Netflix casting

[weezus]

Hi all,

I just recently purchased chromcast this past weekend and followed all the instructions to set it up.

Netflix will play fine with the first thing I cast but when I want to select another movie/show to cast the device I'm using to cast will give me an error saying something along the lines of "Playback unit is no longer on the same network as device". Then I have to restart chromcast to start another stream.

I've tried reinstalling the apps and went through the setup process a couple of times but with the same results.

Anybody have an idea on what's going on?

Thanks in advance for any help.

same problem. works fine with continuous use with android phone, but ipad fails to play a second show or stay connected to material being casted. says device is no longer connected to network.

Did you try turning off the auto-lock? I'm not at home to try this, but last two nights experienced the same thing...had to reboot chromecast after each episode and also if I paused "too long"
Hoping this will resolve.

Thanks for the help. I will try this when I get home.
