    I bought one last week. I wanted to cast from my Android 7 ? phone to my TV to watch Bt Sport (for starters)
    Despite good wi fi , and the dongle setting up on my TV ,and downloading Google home , I still cant get my phone to find devices .
    Left it till I get enthusiastic again

    The only 'Tunein' I can find is the one I referenced, perhaps you could put up a screenshot of the one you're using so I know what I'm looking for? Thanks.

    works with my iphone so not that. might be faulty, or it may be a issue with signal. prefer an rpi personally although there is a bit more to setting one up.

    Do these google home screens look ok?





    I’ve tried unlinking Spotify and using the other options but it only plays Spotify, even with that app closed? If I could just get it to play files from my laptop I’d be happy but it isn’t available to cast to, I can use Bluetooth for YouTube audio if I’m desperate.

    probably, i dont use it...bar set up. if you have tunein then in its app you can cast from there. a box appears that you touch and select the destination.

    Helpful! Assume that means I can’t play music files from my laptop? I can cast YouTube audio from laptop now though.

    Well I reinstalled the chromecast & I can now cast youtube audio & my amazon music library to it so I'm moderately happy.

    Thanks for sticking with me Grant, I can now see there's an option on the source menu to 'cast file' but when I click on it it takes me to the file manager but a pictures folder? (Windows 7).
