Google Assistant/Google Search only search for youtube results

SirDaniel — Mon, 30 Oct 2023 04:27:02 GMT

Hello,

Like 7 days ago my Chromecast 4K receive and update and I thought it was a normal update, however, now when I want to search for a movie or series, the Google assistant only gives me results of YouTube videos and does not suggest me where to watch it or anything, also, before, when I pressed the google assistant button in the remote control, and say "open playstore" it opened the app, as well as if I said "open Netflix" or "open HBO Max" it opened them, however now it does not do that, it still only shows YouTube results.

I did a factory reset and still the same, also within the "searchable apps" section does not appear any, as it does not allow me to search within my apps.

I tried everything:
-Factory reset
-Activating the services inside "my services".
-Uninstalling application updates and restarting
-Putting another google account inside the device
-Trying another remote control

Device info: Chromecast 4K with GoogleTV

SO version: STTK.230808.004.10714782

Android 12 with September 1st security patch

Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance

UPDATE: I had set the chromecast language to spanish chile (country where I live) which I had to change to spanish united states, after that I restarted and the option to configure the google assistant appeared and everything went back to normal.
In summary to those who have this problem, try changing the language and / or region.
