Hello @jackpepper,

Thanks for your post in the community, and I totally apologize for any inconvenience you may have had with Chromecast. Based on your description, here are some steps you can follow:

That sounds like a frustrating experience! There are a few things you can try to fix the "Loading error. Unable to load for you" message that keeps appearing on your Chromecast with Google TV and avoid factory resets.

Here are some steps to troubleshoot the issue:

Power Cycle Chromecast:

• A simple restart can often resolve temporary glitches. Unplug your Chromecast from the power source for a minute, then plug it back in. Wait for it to fully boot up before using it.

Check Internet Connection:

• A weak or unstable internet connection can cause loading errors. Ensure your Chromecast has a strong Wi-Fi signal. You can try a speed test app or website to check your internet speed.

Update Chromecast:

• Outdated software might be causing the problem. Check for updates.
  1. Go to your Google TV settings.
  2. Select "System" and then "About."
  3. Look for "System update." If an update is available, install it.

Clear App Cache:

• Sometimes a corrupted app cache can lead to loading errors. Try clearing the cache for the Google TV app.
  1. Go to your Google TV settings.
  2. Select "Apps."
  3. Select "See all apps" and then find the "Google TV" app.
  4. Select "Storage & cache" and then "Clear cache."

Reinstall Google TV App (Optional):

• In some cases, reinstalling the Google TV app might fix the issue. However, this will remove any app data.

Check for App Updates:

• Make sure all your streaming apps (Paramount+, YouTube, Hulu, etc.) are updated to the latest versions. Outdated apps can sometimes cause playback issues. You can usually update apps through the Google Play Store app on your Chromecast.

Perhaps if the issue continues, please let us know what type of error you are getting.

Regards,

Helio.
