Youtube music fails to stream on chromecast

jkksears — Sat, 26 Mar 2022 16:58:08 GMT

Update 3/26 - Appears to be fixed, working as expected now.

When I attempt to stream from my phone to the chromecast using the YouTube music app, the ytm splash screen appears on the tv for ~ 1 minute, then fails with the 'Something went wrong' error message. I've tried all the steps in the help thread but continue to get the same result. Any suggestions?

I have the same issue. Today my Chromecast Ultra stopped being able to cast YouTube Music but I can still cast YouTube. This is happening on both the YouTube Music Android app and the YouTube Music web on the Chrome browser, both can cast YouTube but when I try to cast YouTube Music the Chromecast Ultra displays the YouTube Music logo, a circle with a triangle in it. After displaying the YouTube Music logo it switches to a "something went wrong" screen and then switches to the default screen with the time-of-day on it. I've tried doing a factory reset of the Chromecast Ultra but that did not improve anything about this issue. I've rebooted the phone and nothing improved. Any ideas?

Had this problem for a few minutes yesterday morning but power cycling fixed. This morning nothing will get YTM to cast.
