Windows 10: Videostream/Chromecast Interface

Yesterday, Videostream, on my Windows 10 desktop PC, failed to function and connect to Chromecast - it just stayed on the initial selection screen - Chromecast, however, works OK with BBCiPlayer.

I contacted Videostream and they have replied:

Hi there,

Sorry! This is a widespread issue caused by the newest Chrome update. A patch is on the way!

In the meantime,

  1. Our app in the Chrome store works fine! Get it here: Videostream for Google Chromecast™ - Chrome Web Store
  2. You can temporarily downgrade your Chrome edition, and then the desktop app should work fine! Instructions here: https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/9hhdbr/can_i_downgrade_my_chrome_version/
  3. Uncasting and recasting works for some users, including myself (but is not working for everyone).

Apologies again for the inconvenience - we will have an update out soon.

So it wasn’t just me (as I thought) … :grinning:
