I use to be able to cast camera streams to my Google Hubs and to my Chromecast device. Now I am not able to. But I can cast a lovelace dashboard. Here is the log.
I have 4 nest cameras and a Onvif camera. I believe this started after I signed up with Nuba Casa. Any clues?

With this info I have no clue how you setup your system and not even sure if i can provide any helpâŚadd details !
My situation, cam / amp / cast / miniâs are all local and when having internal/external url pointing to sth like duckdns it would not work. Only solution for me was a reverse proxy and local casting works like a dream
I donât use Nabu Casa, however cast devices use HTTPS not HTTP, and as the error says âPlease make sure the URL is: Reachable from the cast device and either a publicly resolvable hostname or an IP addressâ, and your URL of âhttp://homeassistant.local:8123â is neither. the http:// needs to be https:// and the rest of the URL must either be an IP address, or publicly accessible URL.
Can you currently access your HA install remotely over HTTPS ?
my int/ext show with the ip address of HA⌠devices use that url to connect and if they cannot resolve homeassisant.local (how would they?)âŚthen they would not know where they connect to. Try ip:8123
I can connect with the address nuba casa has givin me. It is a https address . On my General tab it shows my external URL as a https, and the internal as http://home assistant.local:8123.
I am using a mini PC with supervisor installed. I am using the native Onvif integration to add cameras. I linked my Yahoo account with the Google integration inside of the Home Assistant Cloud integration
I went to Home Assistant Cloud>Google Assistant > Manage Entities and found 2 sections (exposed entities and not exposed entities). All the cameras/video streams are under the not exposed entities.
Are these the entities that google can see and control?
Yes I have. I took it that all of the information in the article had to due if you was writing YMAL code and /or using some type of remote video source.
All the video I am trying to cast can be seen and played under the media tab of the sidebar. I will open the media section>select where I want to cast to>open the camera box>select the camera stream I want to cast. This process worked fine until I signed up for Nuba Casa.
Try to go back one step (without NC) or setup a separate clean HA next to it and add only those parts you needâŚagain, I got mine to work only with local ip in the int/ext addresses âŚwhich does not mean there are other options.
I believe I have solved the problem. At least I can cast video again that is. Under Configuration>General I had my External URL as the Nuba Casa URL. Under Internal URL I had the homeassistant.local:8123. I changed the Internal URL to the Nuba Casa URL and I can cast again.
Unfortunately though, this breaks other functionality such as Google Local Fullfillment. The cast should always just use the enternal url. I think this should be a bug. Or it should be selectable at cast time.
In fact, the docs mention it should:
This is important when casting TTS or local media sources; the cast integration will cast such media from the external_url if configured, otherwise from the Home Assistant Cloud if configured, otherwise from the internal_url.
I just want to say that I was having the same issue as OP, and have spent hours searching forums to find a solution that worked - to no avail.
BUT!
I did find a solution after tinkering. Mine was to turn off âAutomaticâ for the local network URL in the Settings/System/Network/Home Assistant URL.
For us Nabu Casa users, this feels like a bug, since A) automatic doesnât seem to work for this use case, and B) I havenât found any documentation telling us to do this exact step.
@travisrulez â solution also worked for me: I set the Local network address to my local host name (i.e. not the IP) but with http instead of https - I normally access HA via a reverse proxy and https, using a (kind of local) domain name with a valid Letâs Encrypt wildcard certificate.
