Casting Xfinity Stream Content to Chromecast Now Available

Good news! Xfinity customers can now cast programming from the Xfinity Stream app directly to Chromecast devices and supported-TVs. Just look for the casting icon on the top righthand side of the screen to start casting.

I have tried deleting the app and reinstalling and it still does not work.

I did a test where the SSIDs are the same name but the chromecast is on the 2.4 ghz radio while the iphone is on 5.0 ghz and it still works so it isn't a different radio issue on the same network. run the fling app and scan your network. does it see your phone and the chromecast on the same network?

did fing show them both? can you ping the chromecast dongle using the fling app from your smart device?

It’s not an EDID issue or resolution problem. 60fps video does appear to be available now but really all Xfinity Stream products need to offer higher bitrates.

I have the exact same issue.  I can cast all other apps, just not the xfinity stream app.  I get the xfinity logo, and then it times out, and says network error.    Have they admitted an issue, yet?  It is not a network error!!

I’m missing the casting icon from one of my iPads. Any fix for this?

This feature was just working for me yesterday, but today when I tried to use the feature to watch the NBA playoff game, it keeps saying that my chromecast device can't be found. I've double checked the connection multiple times, and the TV is barely two months old so I'm sure it isn't a TV issue.
