Windows 8.1 Youtube Problems

#1

Post by pancho » Thu Nov 21, 2013 9:26 pm

Hello! I am running Windows 8.1 Pro (my personal machine) & I am unable to use the MediaCenter Cast software with Youtube via my Android LG G2 phone (I have confirmed the basics - on the same Wi-Fi network,etc.). The MCC software loads without issue inside of MCE, but the chromecast button simply never shows up inside of Youtube (even powered off my phone). As a test, I am able to cast through a Chrome Tab cast, but nothing works with the Youtube app.

Further troubleshooting: I installed the same app on my Windows 8.0 Pro HTPC and the Mediacast software works. What is ever more interesting, if I am sitting in the Youtube app (at main screen), the moment I launch MediaCast on Windows 8.1, the Youtube Mediacast button will disappear again. This appears to be a problem with the Windows 8.1 OS.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
