Has anyone setup Google Chromecast with Mint 17? I'm using Chrome but
manual setup doesn't seem to recognize it. I've read there might be an
iptables problem, but /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range shows 32768
61000, which I believe is necessary to use Chromecast.
This is frustrating as Linux isn't sanctioned with Chromecast but I've
read it should work. I must be doing something fundamentally wrong as
it works for others and, well, that's just what I do. But I'm
encountering the following:
My television displays the following screen:
set me up
On your laptop or phone visit: /google.com/chromecast/setup
My setup name is 'Chromecast7084'
Upon accessing the setup page I receive:
We recommend you set up your Chromecast from another device
You may be able to set up your Chromecast from
this device but your operating system is not fully
supported.
I click the "Try anyway" button, which requires me to accept Google's
terms and I receive the following screen:
Alrighty, do you see this screen on your TV?
set me up
Chromecast1234
But my television screen never changes. I have the same screen telling
me to visit the setup page. If I continue anyway I'm told "We can't
seem to connect to your Chromecast".
