Could not stream from youtube music with chromecast

[Vanoid]

Hello everybody!
I cannot stream from youtube music original app for android with chromecast. Both devices connected to the same 5ghz network. I push chromecast icon, choose Wiim, then "connecting" appears and nothing happends. If i choose another source to stream with chromecast - streaming starts normally. If i try to stream from another app with chromecast - its works without any troubles. Streaming with chromecast with third party app AirMusicCl also works fine. Also works streaming with google home app, as described here. Any ideas, how to fix it?
Android 14
Youtube music 7.23.51 with premium plan
Wiim pro with latest firmware

Reboot/power cycle your router and WiiM device, and perhaps delete and re-install the YouTube music app to see if any of those help

Done with that with the same result.

In that case, submit a ticket to WiiM via the settings/feedback section in the WiiM home app so WiiM can inspect your device logs for clues.

You could try toggling ipv6 and preferred dns server in the network status screen.

Are you on a premium plan?

I think the app will only cast to a TV

you can from a web browser or in the case of Android cast at the device level rather than the app level.
I started the Toutube app on an Android tablet and then set the device to cast to my Pro and it works

You are both correct as YouTube and YouTube Music are two different apps. YouTube won't work, but YouTube Music will.

Anyhow, try the suggestion in #5. Since casting with other apps works, and your device did show up as an option, it means your device is not loading the YT Music web player, likely due to network issues. You should submit a feedback to YT Music if changing DNS doesn't help.
