    Certain Websites don't render

    Alex

    I have noticed that certain websites do not render on chromecasts. For example if I request an intranet website that includes a port it fails. For that matter a simple htm with one word in in it fails even without a port. Any thoughts?

    Thanks

      http://192.168.86.44:8080/test.htm

      it also happens with aspx extentions as well. Interestingly a call to view the homeseer device page works fine, but nothing under the homeseer/html renders

      The chromecasts have firmware 1.56.275994

      It does work on an ultra no problem


      test.htm contains the following (no html tags)

      TEST
      TEST
      TEST
      TEST

        Because it's not HTML - how you expect Chromecast to render it?

        http://192.168.0.131/devices.html is under homeseer/html

          Alex,

          Thanks for getting back to me. So I took your advice and created the following simple html file:


          Code:
           <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>This is a test</h1>

<p>AK Chromcast Web Function Working.</p>

</body>
</html>
          The page renders fine directly from chrome when making the call to http://192.168.86.44:8080/test.html

          but when casting from an event using ak chromecast it produces a blank screen . I tried a factory reset on the chromecast to no avail.

          Thanks

          Will

            Hmm, it works if there's some app loaded (i.e. Spotify), but if there's a Backdrop (I'm using Nest display) - it doesn't load, but no errors.

            [EDIT]

            That's because the the app "URL Cast Receiver" (5CB45E5A) is still loaded in the display after I send the html, but after some timeout the display returns to slideshow by itself...

            So if I QUIT the "URL Cast Receiver" app and send the html again - it works.

                Not sure. Is it separate Chromecast, or built-in in TV?

                  they are all separate.

                    I am wondering if the latest firmware updates are causing the problem. Google is notorious for changing their api. I looked and there dose not seem to be a way to roll back the firmware

                      also it appears nest video works fine on a url cast. (using the url for video sharing)
