@Anonymous User daft question. What happens if you start the chosen channel first and while it's playing on your phone then press the icon to cast?

Tried couple of times , still saying the same , “viewing stopped, something’s gone wrong , if the problem persists contact online support team “ wich trough the chat bot is difficult to get specific answers

@Anonymous User I'd suggest disconnecting the Chromecast from the power for a minute and then power it up again.

 

If the problem persists, uninstall the app and then reinstall it.

I have the same issue. When about to commence casting the spinning coloured bobbles appear on the screen for a second, the screen returns to the Now TV advertising page on Chromecast with the message "Ready to Cast" appearing on the top LHS of the screen. I have tried 3 different Chromecast devices and the result is the same with all 3.

 

I'm using an iPhone XS Max & Virgin Wireless router. Is suspect an update to the Now TV app may be the issue here as it worked historically with the same set up. The only variable that's changed is an update to the Now TV App. All other services (You Tube, Netflix etc...) cast with no issue.

I have the same issue. The iOS now tv app no longer works with Chromecast. No combination of deleting and reinstalling anything makes any difference. Given that I only use now tv with Chromecast may as well cancel my subscription.
