Chromecast Google TV blue square

[EvanP]

I have the newest Chromecast with Google TV.

While streaming a show from the native apps, the picture dims (into the background but continues to play) and a blue rectangle appears on the screen.  At this time the remote doesn't control the app anymore.  I can only exit and restart the show.  

The first time I thought it was the remote batteries (since the blue rectangle kind of looked like a battery).  I replaced the batteries and everything started working again.  

The last time it happened (I was using Paramount+), I had to exit and renter the app several times to make it go away.  I did not replace the remote batteries.  

Does anyone know what the blue rectangle/box is for?

Could you post a picture of the issue? And were you the only owner of the Chromecast?

When it happens again, I will post a picture.  Yes, I am the only owner of the Chromecast; purchased new a few months ago.

Hi folks,

Thanks for helping out, Guztav.

@EvanP, how's it going with your Chromecast with Google TV? Still need our help?

Thanks,

It hasn't happened again, but considering it happened twice, I'm sure it will happen again.  I don't have any additional information or pictures to help troubleshoot at this time.
