Just chiming in to say it also doesn't work for me. I have a rooted US chromecast and live in Europe. I can normally access iplayer fine as I have a smart dns service. So roku, web, android and ios all work. When I try to cast to my eureka rom running chromecast the chromecast flashes to a screen that says "brain freeze" and the casting app reports an error. The chromecast then goes back to the home screen.
[Google Chromecast] ghtop:
i have both a US and now a UK Chomecast, and iPlayer works on them both within UK, but:

1. Is quite buggy on both, with buffering and some force closes of the app. Also lost connection to the Chomecast a few times and had to re-take control of it. Nothing like the seamless experience of Netflix so far.

2. Radio can't be cast from the app - must disconnect from Chromecast.

Baby steps, I guess ...
[Google Chromecast] king conan:
One idea to test guys:

My chromecast is a US imported one. And I did a factory restet today to try if that worked with the bbc iplayer app. (unlocator and dd wrt router working fine).

It didn't work and I saw that the region of my chromecast has changed from US to ES (Spain, where I live).

May be if we do a factory reset with a VPN configured in our routers to fake UK region, perhaps the chromecast set UK region and at least we can stream BBC...

Does it make sense?
[Google Chromecast] nigelhealy:
I don't think its needed. You just need to have your Android device to have iplayer apk running, it then pulls the iplayer app into the Chromecast. I'm not in UK and I can get that far no problem. I'm having problems streaming off iplayer which is not the app install problem its a streaming problem.
[Google Chromecast] generationgav:
I spent 5 minutes trying to get it work with no luck. Until I realised that my mobile didn't have WiFi on!!!

Works wonderfully, US chromecast but in the UK.
[Google Chromecast] otaku888:
Makes sense and sounds like a smart idea.
[Google Chromecast] sixdaysandy:
I've reset an imported chromecast, it's showing GB as my region, wiped the iplayer data on my device and I get the chromecast icon, whenever I try and connect it I get a white BBC screen with "Service Unavailable" then a session error throw back to the app. I'm not using any DNS redirection or anything. Anyone seeing this problem?
[Google Chromecast] generationgav:
BBC iPlayer is currently down, all devices for everyone! Wonder if CC overloaded it?
[Google Chromecast] jamesking420:
Working fine for me now, having updated from Eureka ROM to a rooted version of the latest firmware. Will upgrade back to Eureka ROM when it becomes available.

I wasn't having muck luck using Eureka ROM, I assume because it's an older firmware, perhaps...
[Google Chromecast] jasenko:
What is the firmware version, please? I want to have a go when I get home.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Eureka-ROM v2.0 - based on build 15250

Stock no Updates - based on build 16041

To see the newest releases, search for threads started by Team-Eureka
[Google Chromecast] jasenko:
That is a good news then. Build 16041 is generic and not country specific, so if it works on it, it is not as bad as we suspected.
[Google Chromecast] HbbS:
Man, let me now what you found on this traffic analysis. I am outside the UK and I am using a firewall rule that let me use all US channels using UnoDNS.

When I try to cast iPlayer it gives me this error:

I bet that BBC iPlayer is looking for a validation on the ip address thru a DNS on the UK. Just like the US version does.

BTW, my Chormecast is already setup as a BR (Brazil)

I believe official launching here is to be expected.
[Google Chromecast] jasenko:
This looks like the issue I was experiencing with Unlocator and Pandora. Nothing you can do, your proxy DNS provider need to enable iPlayer so it can be used with Chromecast. Try a different DNS provider, or VPN service.
[Google Chromecast] HbbS:
I will inform Unotelly about it.

Something is leaking my geo location, and it could be that, indeed.

Thank you.
[Google Chromecast] jasenko:
I got home, install 16401 manually, app connected but it won't stream. Tried few different DNS providers, none of them work. Until they fix this, I guess VPN is the only option for anyone outside UK. Too bad, I was really looking forward to this one, and it is super sweet and super convenient app with plenty of great content.
[Google Chromecast] theciscokidster:
Unlocator now supports BBC iPlayer on Chromecast

Unlocator have just added support for BBC iPlayer - confirmed working on US Chromecast. :victory:
[Google Chromecast] king conan:
Wow, that's right!!!

Working here from Spain with dd wrt router and unlocator!!!

They have changed something indeed. Nice picture quality and subtitle support.

Thanks unlocator. I had my doubts between unblock and unlocator, but I'm happy to choose unlocator now!

Edit: Live TV also casting fine. This is so good.
[Google Chromecast] jasenko:
Wow live tv casting!!!

I am guessing you are not on rooted Chromecast. I tried older ROMs with Unlocator and none of them works.

EDIT: I can also confirm it works with Unlocator. Had to do one more restart probably to clear DNS cache or something.
[Google Chromecast] otaku888:
Did you tell them?

If not tell them that Unlocator supports it already! ;)

I next have to figure out how before my 1 week expires. I think this is because BBC is reverse-looking up via three hosted servers in different locations to triangulate. All you have to do is report back to those services the correct geo.
[Google Chromecast] Drizwaldo1:
I am UK based and have two US chromecasts. I can confirm that my stock unrooted US chromecast works with all iPlayer content inc. Live TV.

My second, US chromecast is rooted running Eureka. This chromecast returns a 'Session error' toast telling me to try again. I get this error flag after the TV shows the content loading. It fails to start to play anything and the TV returns to the iPlayer 'ready to cast' stage.

I hope that's helpful information.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Sounds like iPlayer depends on some change that was introduced after the 150xx build Eureka-ROM v2.0 is based on.

A little bit on s/w arch is here

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/internet/posts/BBC-iPlayer-apps-on-Chromecast

Clearly as Chromecast UK release was delayed and timed with BBC release, there is a close software connection. It makes sense newer Chromecast OS is needed.

It is really working really very well for me now after about a day of glitches on a USA model Chromecast inside USA, all you need is network redirection (VPN, unlocator or your custom IPTABLES) and the APK.

From Android it is working now. It is not working from a desktop OS (Windows or Linux) but that's due in "weeks" I've yet to try from Apple will try when the idiots in the family (with their iOS) arrive later.
[Google Chromecast] jasenko:
Worked fine last night, not working this morning. I have a feeling that bbc are struggling to keep up with the demand. They probably didn't expect to be this popular. Couple of times it returned service unavailable error.
[Google Chromecast] Rooksx:
Iplayer not working for me. I'm in the UK, have a rooted Chromecast with Eureka Rom. Changed the Chromecast and my Android phone's wifi DNS to the Unlocator DNS . But still getting that "session error" when I try to cast. I don't have a DD-WRT router so have to change the Chromecast DNS directly through the Eureka gui. Did anyone who has manged to get iplayer working with a rooted Chromecast carry out any additional steps?

I'm now getting a white screen "Service unavailable" error. This seems more like a problem on the iPlayer's end though.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Current Eureka-ROM (v2.0) is built on 15250.

The newest Chromecast release is 16041.

Since BBC iPlayer and the international Chromecast release came after build 15250 was released, there is a chance that there is some software/firmware hook that BBC iPlayer depends on.

So, if you want to use BBC iPlayer now without possible "gotchas," manually flash Stock 16041 (no updates) via FlashCast. Otherwise, wait for the next Eureka-ROM release.

But, it may just require the DNS provider to make adjustments. Looks like Unotelly is on it.
[Google Chromecast] nigelhealy:
Be a little patient. Other (non Chromecast) iPlayer related issues are arising, there's some glitches in the system. Before forming any firm conclusion, try again a few times some hours apart.

get_iplayer has been down for hours, it piggy-backs on the Apple streaming of iplayer to save-as a file, I was thinking I'd broke it but then tried from within UK to find it also broke there. It's working now.

get_iplayer is worth considering, it background downloads and saves in neutral format which then can be streamed locally, net effect is no stuttering in HD. I tried Chromecast iPlayer vs Chromecast of a NAS stream of a d/l mp4 and the former pauses sometimes as it adjusts to bandwidth and the latter is better quality.
[Google Chromecast] HbbS:
BBC iPlayer is now working with Unotelly.

I've tried all the Live TV channels and only BBC News failed. It could be at their own end's fault.

All on Demand titles that I've tried, played sucessfully.

Very good quality of the BBC iPlayer streams. Now I know why I had always heard good things about BBC iPlayer.

The Chromecast is definitely the perfect device to consume it.

What a great little gear this is.
[Google Chromecast] DJames1:
Works perfectly for me using USAccess.ca for my DNS proxy.
[Google Chromecast] cmstlist:
Yup just tested it myself from Canada using NetProtect's BBC iPlayer profile. Works flawlessly. Takes a bit of buffering time to get started but wow the picture quality is pristine.

Tip: If an old version of iPlayer is already on your device, but it isn't appearing in Play Store as an update due to your country, then just visit each of the Play Store app links on your device:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bbc.iplayer.android

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.uk.co.bbc.android.mediaplayer

Play Store should allow you to update the apps. Both must be updated.
[Google Chromecast] jamesking420:
I'm pretty sure this is it. When I upgraded to the latest stock (rooted) it started working right away :)

[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
I read somewhere that the country code must be correct and that seems to be set via a Factory Reset.

So those in the UK who have American CCast you need to do a factory reset to get the correct country code to get BBC iPlayer to work.

(Keep in mind thats coming from a 3rd Party source as I have no way to test that theory out.)

Those who want the best of both worlds will have to resort to other means or keep factory resetting to the country code you need.
[Google Chromecast] Pully:
Imported Chromecast working fine in UK no need to factory reset. Stock on latest firmware. It still shows its a US model within Chromecast app.
[Google Chromecast] Rooksx:
Thanks very much, the 16041 firmware did the trick. Flashed the Unotelly DNS servers and all is as it once was, plus iPlayer.
[Google Chromecast] uspino:
Does this mean that non-US Chromecast devices bypass Google's internal DNS servers?

That seems to be the case according to this (read updates and comments at the bottom): http://www.eyeondemand.com/2014/03/19/news-chromecast-hits-the-uk-other-stores/#comment-854
[Google Chromecast] cmstlist:
I can only speak for Canadian devices. I reset my US bought Chromecast and now it has a CA country code. I am using NetProtect DNS with iptables on a Tomato router. Pandora and USA Netflix still cast after the reset, but if I disable the iptables script they stop working. So the CA firmware does hard code Google DNS.
[Google Chromecast] Rooksx:
Interesting, I don't know. My Chromecast was purchased in Dubai last year so would have been an import, although it now has a GB country code. I presume the guy in that article is only changing the DNS on the wifi on the device he uses to cast? I immediately rooted and flashed the Unlocator DNS when I got the Chromecast so have never tried that.
[Google Chromecast] nigelhealy:
It is now working from desktop browser. Don't when it appeared but it's there now. Begin playing then there's a chromecast icon within the Flash player window, click on that it then "hands off" to the Chromecast top-right extension in the browser where you pick which Chromecast device, then it works.

Edit: it works from my Ubuntu 10.04 64bit Chrome browser. Just tried it from a Windows Vista 32bit Chrome browser, doesn't show up, trying to kick software into upgrade, or this might just be a progressive rollout from superior OS down to the dregs of OS.

Chromecast (US)

Hi,

I tried to set up my chromecast (US version) to play Iplayer in the US, I used Unlocator settings on my netgear router. I got Iplayer on my iOS device to play fine without vpn however whenever I try to cast I get an error that says "An Error Occurred please try again". I haven't tried with an android device to see if it will cast.

If anybody knows the work around or solution to this please do share.

Here is a link of of the settings I used.

https://support.unlocator.com/customer/portal/articles/1260986-how-to-setup-netgear-router

Thank You.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
The issue is that Chromecast does not use the DHCP-supplied DNS by default.

See this thread for methods to have it use a different DNS (you'd want it to use Unlocator's DNS)

I have just acquired a rootable chromecast (unopened and correct serial number)

I am waiting on my powered OTG cable to start the process but i want to make sure i have understood the process.

My goal is to cast iplayer to a US chromecast in the US.

My understanding is that i first root the chromecast following the instructions here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2452838

Then, according to instructions on this thread, i need to flash NOT the Eureka ROM but 16041.

I find it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2638103

and i do it by following instruction from 7 to 14 to do so.

After i have done that I need to sign up with a DNS spoofer like unotelly or unlocator (the one i currently use overplay.net i do not think will play ball).

Instruction here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2455888 (unlocator)

I cannot find instructions for unotelly.

My questions are:

1) Is my sequence of events correct?

2) If i decide to flash the chromecast with 16041 now can i then, when the new Eureka comes out, overwrite it with the new Eureka or am I stuck with 16041?

3) If i want to keep using my SmartDNS provider can i use this solution?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=46746782#post46746782

4) Do I use the above DNS flash (or the unocator one) after having flashed 16041?

In other words I have understood that i need to do three flashings:

1) to install flashcast

2) to install 16041

3 to install the utility that allows me to use DHCP DNS (overplay.net) rather than google's 8.8.8.8

Thanks for clarifying my muddled mind!
[Google Chromecast] jamesking420:
1) Yes

2) Yes

3) not sure. I'm not sure if anyone has used the flashable DNS change zips on 16041, so I'm not sure if this will work...

4) depending on the answer to 3 being OK, Yes.
[Google Chromecast] Coppernob:
Stupid Question for the wise...

I think i managed to put flashcast on the chromecast. I then downloaded 16041.zip renamed it to eureka_image.zip and then rooted the chromecast. I think... it rebooted and is showing me the Chrome "set me up" page on the tv. I know if i used Eureka I would be looking at a different screen but How do i know if i successfully rooted my chromecast with 16041?

TIA
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Given that it's stock minus the update service, you pretty much have no idea.

Team Eureka recently released Eureka-ROM on the 16664 build, so better just to flash that.
[Google Chromecast] Coppernob:
I feared as much. As I have one shot at this I think my best course of action is this. Now that I think flash cast is successfully installed I should root it with eureka, and then when I see the eureka screen I should root it with 16041 (or the latest release) in the knowledge that I can then connect it to the wifi
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
FlashCast doesn't really "install" - it lives on the stick.

Eureka-ROM has an embedded version that it uses to apply its OTA updates.

FlashCast is just the flashing utility - similar to ODIN in the Samsung phone world.

The iPlayer requirement is not specifically build 16041 - the stock 16041 was only necessary because the released Eureka-ROM at the time was based on 15xxx and iPlayer seemed to require some of the changes/additions in the 16xxx builds.

Eureka-ROM builds lag behind Google's OTA roll-out because Google doesn't immediately release the source, Team-Eureka then has to check for any introduced conflicts or sneakiness from Google (introduced bugs, root checks, etc), and of course test.

Thus, Team-Eureka has been releasing stock without auto-update versions. These versions don't have any of the Eureka-ROM enhancements - they're simply rooted stock with the Google OTA updates disabled so you don't lose root). This provides a stopgap for those who need to have the latest firmware update which some new apps may require.

I recommend simply flashing the newest Eureka-ROM as that is currently based on build 16664 which brings it back in-line with the stock updates.
[Google Chromecast] Coppernob:
I did just that. Procrastination has its advantages as i noticed that the latest version of Eureka was built on 16664. I have successfully rooted the Chromecast with the latest Eureka release, i have disabled the DHCP from the control panel and input Overplay SmartDNS IP adresses and iplayer from my ipad is casting to the TV.

Thanks for every one's help.

Iplayer not working on chromecast

I have sussed it out guys! Go to your internet suppliers website, log in, hit advanced settings, then smart setup. Once you're there, turn "smart settings/startup" OFF. This will fix iplayer and Netflix. I had so much trouble so I went mad on Bts website and ended up fixing both. Hope this helps. God Bless guys.
