Same here with not being able to cast. Have tried on multiple chromecasts, rebooted them, factory reset them, reinstalled vanced, etc. It connects and starts the chromecast YouTube app stuff, but then the app itself will not play anything you throw at it.

Also, coincidentally, I've noticed that the twitch app requires choosing the same stream twice to actually start casting. First time it looks like it will, but the chromecast does not switch to a video. Second time works as usual.

Using the magisk version I can chromecast just fine :good: are you guys all using the non-root version ?
[Android Apps and Games] kewinhw:
I also have problems with casting on non root version. With the latest version of vanced. :/
[Android Apps and Games] delrazor:
Yes I am. Non-root, latest experimental version. I'll try some of the older versions and see if those work.

EDIT: previous stable / non-experimental version also did not cast.
[Android Apps and Games] syst3merror:
I'm having troubles casting as well using the latest non-root version 13.49.52
[Android Apps and Games] adelpozoman:

[Android Apps and Games] milan187:
Any solutions for Chromecast?
[Android Apps and Games] marciozomb13:
Why don't you guys don't check your Google Play Services. Maybe an update broke the cast. I have no issue casting with the latest rooted version.
[Android Apps and Games] dt0807:
I have both the root and nonroot versions installed, and I can confirm that the Chromecast issue is specific to the nonroot version (I even tried reverting to older versions without any luck).

Google must have caught on and done something on their end that does not affect the root version (since it has the same package name as the stock version). I'm sure the team will figure it out :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] ztdz:
Excuse me, but I don't understand!

The instructions are very unclear.

So, with Magisk it's very easy, just download, install, reboot.

But how to deal with detach option(s) ?

Do I get it right, that if I want a detached Vanced YouTube, I need:

1. Download three files:

- iYTBP_install_via_magisk.plz

- iYTBP_detach_from_playstore.plz

- ytva-universal-installer-v4.1.zip

2. Place all three files in sdcard/download folder

2. Open Magisk, add module and flash the ytva-universal-installer-v4.1.zip through Magisk manager

3. Reboot

Right?

And what's the difference between ytva_only_detach_from_playstore.plz and just ytva_detach_from_playstore.plz ?
[Android Apps and Games] milan187:
It's funny they broke Chromecast. That's one place where there is still ads.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Or microg doesn't have updated g play services. A more likely answer than Google is targeting non root Vanced don't you think
[Android Apps and Games] babywin:
On Chromecast cast issue...

1) I can cast only sound with the last non root version

2) With other phone, I cast from the PlayStore's YouTube

3) So after that, I can cast with Vanced non root again with no issues
[Android Apps and Games] dt0807:
hahah yeah, that's certainly a possibility! the thing is--and maybe I just don't fully understand how microG works--I've been using the same microG apk for months now, and the nonroot app used to cast just fine through several Play services updates
[Android Apps and Games] speedingcheetah:
Is there a way to set so vids always are zoomed in to full screen?

I now have a Pixel 3 with the non 16:9 ratio :(

Edit: Also, i see other posts that Cast in this app is broken. I can confirm that. I just get connected but it doe snot laod the video, the phone shows a spinning circle trying to play but never plays. I can still cast Vanced via the built in Cast (Screen mirroring) that is built into my Pixel 3 to my ChromeCast Ultra, but it is not as good quality as the native Cast in the video app directly. I had never actually tried to Cast with Vanced or YT before, so, i would not know if this is normal for a modded YT app to not be able to cast??
[Android Apps and Games] preston0808:
Casting issue

Play first video through stock app, then just switch to Vanced and connect to Chromecast and add more videos from there, and use Vanced as normal
[Android Apps and Games] babywin:
But a real fix will be... ?
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
...later
[Android Apps and Games] bafforosso:
:good:

or instant fixes : use Rooted version, Magisk module or original YouTube app
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
That's hardly a fix when something as simple as rooting can break your phone. Unless you're confident it won't, I wouldn't advise it.
[Android Apps and Games] bafforosso:
no need for root to use original YT from what I know...

And rooting, then using the rooted version or Magisk module is a proven working solution for the problem at hand. Rooting is a risk but you're already using an app that has been tinkered with : you are already taking risks. Risks of rooting, as with any experimental software/scripts, can be mitigated a lot if you take time to inform yourself about your specific device, Android version, use cases, etc... If you are not okay with taking the steps and the time necessary (retrying 1, 2, 50, 100 times if you have to) to make an experimental modded free app work then don't blame the devs.

And XDA rules are pretty specific that it is NOT ALLOWED to ask for ETA.

You're using an app that is generously made available by a group of devs working for free, you are not entitled to demand anything from them.

P.S.: Reporting bugs and helpful posts are always encouraged and this is not what this post answers but selfish "make it work" or "when will it work" posts.
[Android Apps and Games] phaelox:
My experience with the casting issue:

I have 2 Chromecast devices and cast from my non-rooted OnePlus 6 (Android 9) with MicroG installed and the YouTube (system) app disabled.

After updating non-rooted Vanced yesterday from "YouTube_13.46.51_API17(arm64-v8a_armeabi-v7a_x86)(nodpi)(vBlack-v2.0.3)-vanced.apk"

to "YouTube_13.49.52_API17(arm64-v8a_armeabi-v7a_x86)(nodpi)(vBlack-v2.0.3)-vanced.apk" the casting troubles started, immediately after.

I factory reset both Chromecasts to see if the issue was on that end and cleared data on Vanced. No go. Then uninstalled Vance and reinstalled the version I had installed previously and it also didn't work anymore. Literally minutes before updating Vanced I was still happily casting using Vanced.

On the first Chromecast I could connect, and then when trying to play a video, it kept spinning the circle on my phone and not actually doing anything on the Chromecast (it was showing the YT app/background on TV).

On the second Chromecast it actually does start playing, but only audio.

I then enabled the system YouTube app and it was casting just fine. After that switching to Vanced makes Vance cast just fine. In fact if I

use Vance first to add a video to the queue (but can't get it to play),

then switch to YouTube and connect it also (Chromecast will restart YT app on TV and display 2 exact same notices right below each other, like "my phone from my username being connected"),

hit Play, the video starts normally,

switch back to Vanced, I can use Vanced like always, until I disconnect and I need to use YouTube app again to start first video.

Same process works on both Chromecasts.

Maybe it's Google Play Services and/or MicroG? But it only started happening after I first updated Vanced..

So basically same experience as:
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
And your attempt to belittle and scorn is no more helpful than mine advising people that rooting may not be the best option. However, since there is a temporary fix that doesn't require rooting your device I would strongly advise going that route until or if a more permanent solution becomes available.
[Android Apps and Games] speedingcheetah:
Anyway....any idea on my other question? How to make Vanced always zoom to full screen when play all videos?
[Android Apps and Games] chivu246:

[Android Apps and Games] lappaz:

[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:

[Android Apps and Games] calvinjstev:
Notifications don't show up on the latest version and casting seems to have problems starting. Just switched to an older version and notifications appear clumsy on top. I guess it's due to the YouTube vanced name. This is on Android Pie.
[Android Apps and Games] milan187:
Yes you do. You can't uninstall YouTube app from Pixel unless you root. You probably disabled it.

I don't think there is a way to auto zoom. If the video is 2:1 it will cover whole display.
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
Not sure how far you got :confused: Did you join the Vanced server? If not, the link is at the OP. The actual files aren't there (except for the MicroG since it's filesize is under the 8 MB limit) but we do ping [MENTION=1007992]everyone[/MENTION] for new releases there so you get notified about when to look for the new version in the website :good:

Sounds good so far then :good:
[Android Apps and Games] speedingcheetah:
98% of videos are 16:9 on YT. And 100% of the videos I play are 16:9.

Vanced has Codec and Resolution overrides....I would think that an auto zoom would be an easy no-brainier to include.

After all, nearly every standalone video player app out there has toggle options to zoom video, fit to screen, etc.

Temporary fix for anyone experiencing casting issues on the unrooted version: make connection with Chromecast and YouTube through any app, open YTV then make connection through that. Problem solved, sort of.
[Android Apps and Games] phaelox:
UPDATE: So this morning I tried using Vanced with Chromecast again, without the use of the stock YouTube app in system, and it worked straight away!

All casting troubles seem to be over. I have not updated/changed Vanced since yesterday; it was simply working again. I have now disabled system YouTube app again and Vanced still works.

I can see in my Play Store update history that Google Home and (stock) YouTube app were both updated 12 hours ago. I'm not sure where to see if Google Play Services were updated.
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
This is just a theory, but it appears re-establishing a connection between Chromecast and YouTube in an alternate app fixes casting in YTV. This has worked for me, whether or not this is a permanent fix is yet to be seen.
[Android Apps and Games] phaelox:
I know. I found that out yesterday as well. But as soon as all videos stopped playing (TV showing the YouTube app background again), I had to use the stock YouTube app again to hit play and start the first video. Also when switching between TV's (Chromecasts). Every time.

I'm saying, now I don't need the stock app at all anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
I'm just glad the casting fix is easy, it was driving me bonkers lol!
[Android Apps and Games] scoobyjenkins:
I haven't had any issues with Chromecast with YT Vanced (non root) and I've never had stock YT present while using it. Other apps like Netflix & Spotify official apps can be problematic sometimes but Vanced never fails for me, so there may be something in having both versions of YouTube that causes issues.

Casting works again for my non-root.

On a side note, does anyone know it Vanced non root is any different than stock for casting?

There are still some ads on Chromecast, but it's been so long since I used stock, I'm unsure, do we see fewer ads? I've had periods of time where it seemed like I saw no ads for a month. Then sometimes I'll get a 5s ad at the start of like 20 vids in a row.

[Android Apps and Games] delrazor:
The only difference I have is that vanced does volume differently. It's a black and grey bar on the top of the chromecast screen instead of the normal blue volume bar at the bottom. It tends to take a lot more volume taps to lower volume. Is this normal?
[Android Apps and Games] preston0808:
Ah, dang. I wish there was a way to get no ads on Chromecast.

I guess it just depends on the channels I'm watching if I get ads.

ya I've always had that small grey bar for Vanced. You can get normal volume control in the Home app interface.

You buy yt red. Or use an app that allows you to download video. Vanced does not. You can save for off-line use to be played in the app if it is available in your region (it's the same as regular YouTube in this regard).

But this is not a "video download" app.
[Android Apps and Games] speedingcheetah:
Read a page back or the OP...it is working as intended.

You have to buy the YouTube Premium Subscription in order to download videos for offline use.

Website is down?
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Because the non root version has a different package name than YouTube. Their modded micro g is made to recognize it. That's the whole reason you need micro g with vanced non root.

If the regular micro g recognized it then regular g Play services would recognize it and users wouldn't need micro g at all.

[MENTION=4714254]Razerman[/MENTION] said he made a build of their micro g to address the problem of not being able to have both regular and vanced micro g. He said it a few pages back. He also said you can find it by joining the discord server. Link in OP
