I have the same problem. I’ve noticed that my nest hub has been updated to fuchsia os, so I’m not sure is only a timeout problem.
Hope that someone finds a solution.
To avoid fuchsia upgrade I suggest to disable “preview program” for the nest hub on the google home app. This will prevent upgrading, at least until fuchsia turns to stable release.
I believe that Fuchsia OS is the stable release, considering that it was first publicly released to 1st gen Nest Hubs at the end of May, 2021.
Is Chromecast v1 no longer support. I able to cast to Xiaomi TVBOX but Google Chromecast give me just white screen
Yeah, same issue. 10 minutes was doable to resend the cast, but now it’s down to like 30s before timing out. Useless google!
Or maybe setting maxInactivity to 600 or so?
Or if that’s not able to be used as it’s in the Receiver API. Wouldn’t we need something from the Sender API? Like setting a new timeout value?
But I have no idea how this stuff actually works, so take it with a grain of salt.
Anybody with the 30 seconds timeout issue, please see my comment here to give a hand to Erik to try to make a solution for it.
EDIT. For anyone having issues with white screen, try casting your view to your TV or somewhere else that’s NOT the Nest, and then try connecting to the Nest once more. For some reason this fixed my problem, at least for the time being.
Hey Guys! That lovelace views can be sent to chromecast is brilliant. the only problem i have is that the background of the displayed lovelace views on chromecast are always in white, although it is set to black and is displayed correctly in the browser. i want them to be black, because i’d like to use the chromecast as a smart mirror.
any advices, how to get the background in black? any special parameter to be set? here is an image, how it’s been actually displayed on chromecast
thanks in advance, riqo
Finnaly found the problem, used the trusted networks Guide and now HA is all the time in my nest hub
Did you manage to find a fix for this?
Use the google app “HOME”. Go to the setting device-> display and change the theme from automatic to white. I hope it will works.
Upgrading to the latest Home Assistant build I don’t have any issues with timeouts but it seems like the hub doesn’t accept any custom backgrounds, from auto dark / light or manually setting a theme with a specific background, when I cast all the cards are themed correctly but the background is always white. I assume the hub’s browser needs a specific flag or something to set background from white, anyone had luck with this? it’s a little too bright at night
Hey man,
could you share your setting on how to display the custom cards?
mine is still stuck on custom card doesnt exist.
I too have this problem. All custom cards refuse to display.
ARe you using HACS?
Had same issue with history not displaying and custom cards not showing graphs. Just updated to 2021.12.1 and issues have been.resolved. Release notes do mention cast issues that were resolved but not specific on what was fixed.
I can confirm; latest update fixed this problem for me also … many thanks for developers!
Resolved for me too. An automation to show Cast on a Shield TV also now works, but I do need to wake the device first, then add a 5 second delay before casting a view.
No, unfortunately not.
I am using Chromecast, but no google nest hub. There are no theme settings to change.
