I was trying to cast from my GALAXY S6 Plus edge to my Nvidia Shield using the screen mirroring but the screen would just go black...I restarted my phone and tried the process again and no luck. I also noticed when I tried to cast another video from my phone to the shield using google chrome it showed that the video was playing but the shield itself just stayed on the main screen. I am rather new to owning a shield can anyone help.
Thank you
As far as i know google blocked screen mirroring in google play services, but check if you have latest version of chromecast receiver: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-cast-receiver/
If you do not then install latest from apk mirror (you need the one that says arm and also need to enable unknown sources in ATV settings to be able to install 3rth party apps), reboot the Shield and test again.
Screen mirror is a known issue.

Hi All. I bought my son a Tab 4 7.0 and he wants to use the Samsung TV in the kids room to do Screen Mirroring. Does this device support it? If not natively anyone have an idea? I tried the Chromecast app and casting but I can't get the Tab to cast the screen.
No it doesn't support screen mirroring and to use the chromecast app you have to make sure its on the same network and try using localcast from google play to cast to the screen.
Hi,
My NP runs under the original ROM, (6.0.1).
It works well when I cast Youtube or a video thru the cast option.
The screen mirroring only cast audio, the screen remains black.
I use a nexus 5 under CM13 to send the cast. It was working well with my previous TV that was supporting mirroring (a smart sony).
I have tried to connect the NP to my Nexus 5 access point. The problem is the same.
I really don't know in witch way I need to search...
Any ideas ?
Thanks

Just need to uninstall updates of Google Cast Receiver and update it again !
Running Android 8.0.
Solution : Delete cache of "Chromecast built-in" app.
Hi,
I do own a SHIELD Pro 2015. The device is connected via Ethernet directly to the router. Chromecast-enabled apps on devices in the same network recognize the SHIELD, however when I try to cast to it nothing happens and the streaming immediately stops.
Things I have tried:
- Factory reset.
- Installing recovery images 6.0, 6.1 and 6.2
- Connecting to WiFi on the same router
- Connecting to a different route.r
- Installing LineageOS and try casting to it
- Casting from Android and iOS devices
It is never working, the only exception being Youtube. Casting youtube immediately loads Youtube. Casting Google Photos, Napster, the phone screen ect. does not work at all.
I dedicated Chromecast on the same network is working fine, as are Google Home devices and a chromecast enabled soundbar.
Bump - because I'm in the exact identical situation. Except my shield no longer shows up as a cast device when it did last week after a full factory restore. I'm currently rooted with SuperSU on 6.2.
Hi All,
I used to own a Pixel XL and still have the same Samsung tv. I used to be able to watch you Youtube on my phone and it didn't matter whether I was watching Youtube or Netflix or NowTv on my TV, I would be able to cast the video to my TV without any issues. This is without a chromecast and simply using whatever is built internally in the TV.
Now with my Oneplus 8 pro, I have to be on the Youtube app on the TV in order for the casting to work. So If I am watching Netflix and I want to cast my youtube video I can't simply cast it from the Youtube app on my phone, I must switch to the Youtube app on the TV first.
I have checked my TV and my phone is listed as an allowed device, I also tried using wifi direct on my phone and the TV is listed there, so it seems both are connected however there is an issue with casting from youtube on my phone.
Does this make sense? Does anyone else have this issue?
I have a Samsung smart TV from about 5yrs ago, and it works for me.
Have you tried to force restart the TV?(hold power until the Samsung logo shows up, the standby led will blink like mad)
Other than that try reinstalling the YouTube app on the tv,
Also try using the YouTube URL to link to your account ( I think it's YouTube.com/linktv).
