Google Home cannot add Sony Android TV

[Knight77]

Hello

I just bought Google Home. Configured it and looks like everything is fine...a part the fact that cannot connect to the Sony TV I got in the end of last year.
It's a new model of 2016 and my phone and tablet can cast to it, the Google Home application see it but I don't know why I cannot add it. I also updated to the last version of Google Cast app for Android TV. When I go to settings "add TV & Speakers" it just shows Google Home, I click "add", it scan the network..see it (!!!), already place the blue check, I press add...and nothing. It goes back to the previous sceen and nothing changed, it shows the Google Home device and nothing more.

I tried to...

- Rename the TV
- Clear the Google Cast App cache
- Restart the TV
- Uninstall and reinstall the uptades of Google Cast
- Change network

Don't know anymore what to do but I really would like to use Google Home full potential and cast video/pictures to my TV via this device.

Hope anyone can help.

Thanks !

Fecking Sony

Yes, me too.

Although when I first had the device it was the only thing on my network to cast to. So "Play Music on my TV" worked. As soon as other cast devices were added it needed a specific name. So I too went through renaming etc. but nothing I tried worked. I reset devices; wiped the cache and data for Google home on my phone and retried. Nothing!

So I went back to square one. I reset my TV name back to its model number and then removed it from the network. I removed all my devices from Google home and reset Google home. Then asking Google home to "play music on my TV" was accepted as a command but nothing was heard from the speakers. I'm not surprised; after all, it is a Sony Android TV. Its got to be the worst Android TV implementation ever in the history of mankind

I can't connect my Google Home to my Sony Bravia either.
What a bummer.

Sony are rolling out Android 7.0 to slightly older devices this spring (2018) - I'm hoping this resolves that issue.
