Hello everyone,

I had the same issue with my Chromecast when trying to activate an app like iboplayer. The app shows the MAC address on the startup screen but the Device Key shows as N/A.

Usually, the Device Key is either displayed on the app’s info/settings screen or it’s generated after the first activation attempt — but in some cases with Chromecast, certain apps don't have direct access to generate a Device Key. I’d recommend double-checking the app's settings or reinstalling the app once. Also, you might want to contact iboplayer support directly because they sometimes need to activate it manually based on your MAC address.

By the way, if you're also into gaming and planning to connect your Chromecast with a PC setup, you might find this pc bottleneck calculator handy to check your system’s performance balance.

Hope this helps someone!

Hi everyone,

Thanks for reaching out to the community. I understand that you want to find the device key on your Chromecast to install the IBO Player app. I'm happy to assist you.

At this moment the Chromecast doesn't have a device key; we can offer you the setup code, which you can find on the screen when you are setting up your Chromecast on the TV.

Feel free to keep us posted if you have more questions.

Regards,

Gabriela

Hey! If the MAC address shows but the device key says N/A, it usually means the app (like iboPlayer) hasn’t fully registered with your Chromecast yet. Try restarting the Chromecast and reopening the app — that often helps the device key appear.

Also, make sure everything’s updated. I ran into something similar and found some helpful info on Delta — definitely worth a look while you're sorting it out.

Hope that helps! 👍
