Have to run as root, otherwise YouTube doesn't work #108
Comments

Scratch that it's working as normal again now... seems intermittent. |
|
I face the |
|
I also face the idle problem with or without root. Also using Castnow 0.4.13 on Arch Linux, installed via npm. |
|
Root doesn't make a difference for me. Trying to cast a youtube video causes the chromecast to show the YouTube logo but nothing more happens. castnow doesn't go further than that. |
|
With me the same that with @agentme, but I have not did debug. |
|
Same problem here. |
|
Root or no root, I can't get a youtube video to come up using castnow. The youtube app splash screen shows, then nothing. Nor can I get a local .mov to play. It tries the .movs, says 'loading' on the screen, and then fails. |
|
Still facing this? |

No. $ sudo npm install castnow -g

$ The TV screen turns red with the Youtube logo at center. Same after the castnow be cancelled through But here is: Notebook → Modem-Router (Internet) → [cable] → Router (as switch) → Chromecast |

I do not think that the topology of my local net will determine malfunction on Youtube. Do you is sure?
@hemanth, why you has closed the issue if my results are bad? |
|
The issue is still present. The youtube logo comes up and nothing else. |
|
I'm seeing the same with 87c6ab6: TV shows red YouTube app screen, and nothing else. |

|
I'm seeing this as well, stuck on the logo when launching a YouTube video. Sounds like it should be reopened. |
|
The basic problem is that google seems to have changed something within their youtube chromecast API. There is also a related issue over here: xat/castv2-youtube#2 I already tried to reverse engineer it but couldn't find anything yet. |
|
Also related: home-assistant-libs/pychromecast#62 |
|
I think we should remove the YouTube feature for now and re-add it as soon someone finds a way to get this working again. |
|
As a temporary workaround it could be done by piping youtube-dl output to castnow, since this feature has been added a few days ago. Works like this |
|
@trulex wow, that's cool |
Hi,
I am running the latest version of castnow on a bit of a weird setup - running on crouton from within ChromeOS on a Chromebook (it has an ARM processor).
Anyway initially it was working well (castnow www.youtube.com/...) but now it just starts the YouTube app on the Chromecast which then sits there on the television with the YouTube icon, and castnow just says "idle..."
I found out that it works fine when I run as root for some reason. Not sure if there's a debug mode I can turn on to find out why this happens... might dig into the issue when I have some free time.
