chromecast video not loading on all apps

[Haddockm]

Out of the blue Chromecast is freezing up. I get to the home menu and choose an app and then a video and the screen turns black.  I can hear the sound but video loads.  At this point when I try to navigate back to the home menu the whole thing stops working altogether and the only thing to do is turn off the TV. 

Any ideas?

Hi, @Haddockm,

Thank you so much for reaching out to the community. I'm truly sorry the Chromecast is freezing up and the screen is going black. I understand how frustrating this is. I'm committed to finding a solution.

To gather more information and provide you the best assistance, please provide the following information:

• What Chromecast model do you have? 
• Is the Chromecast plugged correctly into the TV and power source?
• When did the issue start?
• Is there any LED light on the Chromecast device? If yes, what’s the color of the LED light? 
• Is the TV tuned to the same HDMI input where the Chromecast is plugged in? 
• What is the Chromecast firmware version?
• Does the problem occur when you're casting content?

In the meantime, reboot your Chromecast device following these instructions: 

• Unplug the Chromecast device from the power source.
• Leave it unplugged for one minute.
• Plug the device back in.

Please let me know how it goes.

Best regards,

Ana

Thank you!  I have no explanation for why, but it started working again.  I guess it just needed a vacation.
