Description Of Issue
When trying to use the Sony Android TV as a display, the device is recognised and I can choose it via the app. However, when choosing to chromecast, I see the ‘Roon’ logo and loading spinner, but the track details never load.
The issue seems similar to issue 45753 which was resolved by opening up the firewall - however, I’m not running the ubuntu firewall and other outgoing connections from the NUC seem fine.
Is there something I can check for in the logs, or some information I can provide to help move forward? How should the track details be loaded, is it an ajax request from the TV to some roon server endpoint or something on the local network that I can check?
I am on a roon trial and being able to chromecast was something I really liked the idea of, so any tips to get this resolved would be much appreciated!
After waiting a long time, and clicking “display now” a few times (frustratedly ) this started working.
However, if the screen goes off, we go back to the same process. Any advice on this, and why it’s so temperamental? It’d be great if I didn’t have to go through this every time (and it would also help with the “other half acceptance factor”!).
Thanks for your patience here in waiting for us to get back to you!
I’m sorry to hear about the trouble you’re having! So we can better understand this a bit, can you try using the Web Display feature instead of Chromecast? Does this exhibit the same issue, or is it just happening with the Android TV device?
I noticed that the ethernet interface of the TV is limited to 100Mbps, so I switched to Wifi. On a speedtest, this increased lan speed from around 90ish Mbps to around 300Mbps. This means an IP address change, but I have fixed the IP.
However, I am now back to the original issue of having the roon screen “spinner”, and not seeing the track info.

Eventually the display is showing again, but if I stop the display I need to again go through the waiting a very long time - in some cases it just doesn’t seem to want to display at all.
Another observation, may be irrelevant but best to have all the details.
Occasionally, there will be “no displays available” (in the speaker menu at the bottom right), which appears to resolve itself when I go to “Settings → Displays”.
Do you have an actual Chromecast device to test against? It would be interesting to see if the actual Chromcast device has the same display issue when plugged into the TV vs the TV’s internal chromecast implementation.
