With the latest software 1.1.1.27 Chromecast software is able to find all the Chromecast devices I have in my wlan. I can even connect into them and change their settings. Altho they still won't work with Netflix. I have the Netflix and Chromecast software started. The Chromecast logo does not appear in Netflix.

Next thing I tested was installing the Google Play services because Chromecast software nags about it. This make the whole Chromecast software forcequit right after you start it. Removing the Google Play .apk's and reinstalling the Android support returns the functionality of Chromecast.

* EDIT *

@nix said in another post that he had similiar issues with Android softwares after installing Google Play. So I Decided to retest this whole Google Play + Chromecast + Netflix -thing. And it WORKS! :)

Here's what I did: 1) I downloaded Netflix and Chromecast with APK Downloader

2) Install Google Play, instructions here: https://together.jolla.com/question/...l-google-play/

3) After entering my account details, I installed latest Chromecast from .apk, made sure that the devices are listed. They were.

4) Installed Netflix from the .apk, logged in.

5) Chromecast icon is now visible in the topright corner! Play anything and tap on the icon -> select chromecast and enjoy! :)
