Chromecast disconnects

[pseudonym]

Odd. Screen casting to a Chromecast using an Xperia X Compact (with its slower processor and less RAM) is fine, but on the XZ1C it disconnects or freezes nearly every time. Anyone else experience this problem?

I have found a workaround, however. The app "Web Video Caster" works reliably, and can access the full storage, including an SD card, using a built-in file explorer. Offers subtitle search and can play everything I have thrown at it so far.

Do you have the latest Google Home app installed on the phone?

Yes, I do have the latest Home application and have updated the firmware on both the Chromecast and and phone. It's very odd how the Web Video Caster app works fine. I wonder if it's possible to clear out all cached data or preferences with regard to the part of the operating system that enables screen casting. Perhaps there is a config file that has become corrupted.
