Apps not recognized by Chromecast with Google TV that are moved to flash drive.

I have been using an OTK cable to use a multihub and mounting my flash drive as external storage. I have checked and all of the cables and flash drives are ones that work with CwGT. Up until this point I have been relieving internal storage by moving apps to the flash drive. It recognizes the apps such as HBOMax from search but is not recognized under "Your Apps. I have been using this setup for over a year. Only in the last two weeks has the flash drive started unmounting on its own. In System it says the Flash Drive is mounted but still my other apps are not displayed under "Your Apps"

i am having the same problem. If the device is powered off or restarted, apps moved to the memory card do not appear on the home page. This device is designed to be used in continuous power and standby mode. hopefully they will fix this problem with software in the future

Hi folks,

 

Thanks for reaching out and I'm sorry to hear about that. What type of Chromecast with Google TV device do you have, is it the 4K or HD? Please reboot your devices and plug in your Chromecast into a different HDMI port on your TV. Also, please try to use a different external storage to isolate the issue. For additional information, check out this support website article

 

Best,

Jennifer
