I have a 1st gen Chromecast that has always served me fine, however I've started seeing some issues and I'm unsure if the problem is with the apps I'm using, or the Chromecast itself. Not sure if anyone still uses it and experiences the same.
- I have a big Google TV movie catalogue, most of them stream fine. One or two movies just never stream though, unless I switch to the Youtube app
- HBO Max became available in my region a few weeks ago. I started using it and it streamed fine until last week. Now the app opens when streamed to Chromecast on my TV, but when I try to stream a particular video, it tries for maybe a minute then fails out to the Chromecast wallpaper. I've had this happen for some apps in the past, but after a while it corrected itself and started working again. One or two other apps like Disney+ exhibit the same behaviour, but others work completely fine
I'm guessing the answer to this is just 'outdated product, buy the latest', but just wanted to see if anyone knows if it's an app specific issue and I should just wait for an update (to the app, not Chromecast), or if there's anything else I'm missing
