Cannot stream camera to chromecast v4

Model: Tapo C510W  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: latest

Hello there!

 

I just bought the camera today. I also have a chromecast, the new generation.

 

After configuring the Tapo app I can connect to the camera on my Samsung s23 phone, see the image clearly, move the camera around and such.

 

Then I linked the google home app with tapo app, link was successful and I can see the device on the google assistant.

 

When I say Hi google, and I command the assitant to see my camera on my chromecast, it says ok, transmitting your camera to your chromecast, and nothing happens. 

 

I saw videos where after linking the google home and tapo apps you could transmit it like that, very easily, but somehow its not working. 

 

Camera is ok, and also I can access the camera from my tv using some IP camera viewer app that supports onvif protocol, so Camera I think its ok. 

 

I tried resetting the camera, linking all the things again, same output. Is there a way to troubleshoot this? or some extra step to do in this cases?

 

I can stream netflix and other apps from my phone to the chromecast without issues, all the devices are in the same network and see each other, just not streaming.

 

Thanks for any help you could provide.

Hi,
Please confirm the following information for the reported issue.


  1. What's the firmware version of your Chromecast?
  2. When you try to stream the camera on your Chromecast but fail, does any error message appear on the Chromecast?
  3. Please send me(@Solla-topee) the camera's MAC address via a private message.
  4. Try to reproduce the issue, record the date, time, and time zone when the same problem happens, and then send me the date, time, and time zone for analysis.

 

Best Regards

  @Solla-topee Is there any update on this? I have a new C260 that also cannot cast to a Chromecast. I have 3 other Tapos, 2 x C211 and 1xC230 and I can stream those too the Chromecast. 

 

The error I get when trying to cast the C260 is this...

 

The CameraStream operation is not supported for casting in this way.

 

Here is the information for your devices:

 

Hallway Camera (id: 040)

Name: Hallway

Traits: CameraStream

 

Back Bedroom TV (id: 055)

Name: Back Bedroom TV

Traits: OnOff, Volume

Current Volume: 100
