Hi everyone.
I have installed cyanogenmod11 on my first gen Kindle Fire, and everything is going great, except for one thing. I cannot connect to my chromecast (from any chromecast enabled app).
Do any of you have success connecting to a Chromecast?
All my Google-cast enabled apps (MLB At Bat, Plex, YouTube, Google-cast my screen) see my Chromecast (it is listed and selectable, when I click the cast button). This issue is that when I select the chromecast, it attempts to connect and fails (every time, for every app). I can successfully cast to this Chromecast from all other devices (various android versions and Windows w/ Google Chrome) at my house (connected to the same WiFi network).
Any thoughts, or recommendations on something that I should check?
I went back to this CM11 to test because a few things were nagging at me and it had been a while since I ran it ...
(/data partition is too small for me, and the combined storage roms just work better)
I installed the rom, gapps , and the google cast app from the app store , and updated all the loaded apps from Play Store
rom was the latest nightly for otter

gapps was gapps-kk-20131119.zip 120MB
The apps that see the chromecast appear to connect and cast fine. I have a Chromecast 2015.
Mobdro, Dailymotion, CNN, Youtube. all good.
Other apps that "should" see the chromecast , dont see it and dont pop up the icon to cast.

This symptom has been true of most roms for OMAP devices lately EXCEPT the CM11 for Kindle Fire 2 (Otter2)
KF2 works very well, except for native screencasting
just wondering,
anyone have insight into why the CM11 for Kindle Fire 2nd gen. (Otter 2 ) which uses the exact same drivers (system/vendor)
have much better Chromecast connectivity than this one?
