Can’t wait to jump on this and binge on my favorite hyper personalized ads!
This might be the wrong place to complain about this issue. But "smart" TVs need to be replaced with "dumb TV + set top box" bundles. As it is now, the best panels are obsolete after a year.
Ok, I'm asking: what features does this (or the apple one, or the nvidia shield, or the roku stuff) give you that can't be given by a Raspberry Pi + libreelec + kodi?
People still watch TV? I haven't turned mine on in years.

Heh, that’s cute. And it still seems reasonably close to reality - the only thing I think it’s missing OTOH is Google One. Apple has Books, Pay, Wallet, Store, App Store, One, and TV. All they’re missing is Cast and Go!
Google should merge this with Stadia so they can sunset them at the same time

I had a similar problem, turns out my router was dropping bonjour/upnp packets. I think that was preventing my devices from properly discovering what services were available on my network. I never found a solution for the problem (OpenWRT+WRT3200ACM), but bought a different router and the problem magically went away (OpenWRT+R7800). Could be any number of reasons why you are having issues unfortunately.
Interesting. Thanks for the information. Might be a project for a cold night this winter, or we just are pretty happy with Rokus now. I'm certain the onset of the problem didn't coincide with a new router, and I've gone through a couple since it started so I assumed that wasn't the issue.
I went from a bargain router to a nicer mesh setup this spring and the problem just vanished overnight.

My Chromecast from 2013 still works.
The only issue I have with OG Chromecasts is that YouTube channels with 1080p60 videos tend to make the system stutter like crazy. Other than that the original Chromecasts I bought still work pretty much flawlessly.
Goodness me, this is an exemplary example of the type of website that I just cannot abide. Style over content, and the presentation just plain getting in the way of the information, to the point that the user ends up leaving rather than finding out what the site is attempting to convey. Awful. Just awful.
