  • 3 years ago in reply to: Chromecast not working on WordPress.com
    Thomas Horan

    That’s because there are no “images” in that post. Only videos. It’s password protected. I included the password in my post.

    In the meantime, I have pretty much figured out the problem (well, not FV’s problem, but FV’s problem is not my problem.) Chromecasting is working. (So is Airplay.) What’s not working is the Chromecast button. The reason for that is, most players/developers, by default, set their player to “listen” for available Chrome devices. If none are detected, the player hides the Chromecast button, because that’s easier than dealing with customer confusion, error landing pages, etc. But no HTML 5 player CAN “listen” right now on my site. Apparently, the reason for THAT is, my site is hosted on WordPress.com, and apparently they set certain security features by default on new sites like mine. Those settings are apparently preventing HTML 5 “players” on my site from “listening” for nearby Chrome devices. Embedded “app” players like Muse or YouTube are not affected, because the app is hosted remotely.

    Chromecast is not very secure, anyway, so, what I am going to do with my own custom player app is simply display the Chromecast button by default, and explain to users that if it doesn’t work, they need to turn on their castable device. But at least Apple and Google cast are working. Why they don’t work with FV is not my problem, any more. But you might want to look into it.
