When using the VR headset, I can cast to the app but it won't cast to the NVidia Shield TV Pro. The Shield has a built-in Chromecast.
I verified the NVidia Shield is working by casting from a different device. No problems; works perfectly.
Tried casting directly from the headset (to the Shield device). It tries for a few seconds and then shows an error.
Tried casting to the app, and then having the app redirect to the Shield. Again, it tries for a few seconds and then shows an error.
Given that (a) all devices are fully updates, (b) the NVidia Shield definitely works with casting (tested with other devices), (c) all devices are on the same network, and (d) I've tried with the NVidia shield both wired and wireless... I suspect something is wrong with the Quest 2.
Has anyone else successfully casted from the Quest2 to the NVidia Shield?
I don't have an answer but I do have exactly the same issue, only it's with 2019 Shield TV (non Pro).
It definitely seems to be an issue with the Quest2. I will try to see if it will cast to Fire tv stick today but I won't be replacing my Shield so still need a fix.
So shield pro with all the updates and can't get it to go. Also is the indicator a red x in the vr unit? So I have had a green one also but nothing on the shield. Stupid question but we're talking samsung phone correct?
Hi, The issue here as I see it isn't with your Android phone and it's probably not isolated to any brand.
While Shield has built in Chromecast, oddly the Quest 2 wasn't able to cast a new stream to it. The error messages all implied cast cannot be started etc .
So instead, open YouTube on your phone and try casting to the shield which should cast fine. Now, close that stream and attempt to stream either from headset to Shield (so from headset menu) or through the Oculus app on your phone. Make sure headset, shield and phone all on same network and hopefully you get some success.
I'm having the same issues with a brand new Vizio V series tv with chromecast built in. Everything is on same network and they all see each other but all I get is casting error. The whole reason behind buying this tv was because meta said tv must have chromecast. I tried the casting from YouTube, but didn't fix the quest 2 casting error. I was able to cast from my phone using YouTube, but didn't affect the quest 2 at all.
