I had some challenges with this device getting it to work properly with my component-only HD TV (NON-HDMI). I had to go through several off-on's to get everything to sync up and still have to do this every once in awhile (especially when we lose power at the house and all the components come back on at the same time instead of a linear progression. :-( As for connecting your ChromeCast to this device to connect it to your TV - I'm sorry but I don't have a CCast connected to my adapter box yet so I'm not sure what it is (or is NOT) supposed to do. My only thought is to rule out as much as possible before assuming it's your HDMI/RGB adapter. I'd suggest to connect your CCast to a different TV to make sure your wireless network, CCast and the CCast clients are all configured properly to confirm that the cast tab does work for a different display when all other equipment is the same. If the HDMI/RGB adapter works for all other equipment just not the CCast, I'll bet it's a client/wifi/CCast issue. There's not active netowrk or programming on the HDMI/RGB adapter that would interfere with the operation of the CCast... other than HDMI compatibility. And if you can see the CCast on your component TV, then the adapter is functioning as well as it's ever going to and is obviously not causing an interruption of the video signal. I don't know if this helps, but I hope it does. -David.

I don't know - I have not attempted that yet. I mostly use it as a bridge since the composite inputs blew out on my 65 inch TV. But when I tried Chromecast with it, I was unable to get it working, so I am glad that you did. Any advice for me on how you got Chromecast to work and what are your best uses for it?

Since there is no need for port forwarding for chrome cast devices yes this would work for chrome cast. Just make sure you don't setup your wireless with vlans and if you do make sure it is on the same vlan to communicate with your device.

Yup, works just fine. I have a HTPC, XBOX 360 and Chromecast connected to it. In fact, this is exactly why I got it. You'll like it.

that I am not sure of-I also have the chrome stick,but find Roku offers so much more.Online experts such as the attached website often help me decide what to buy. Please give this a try. http://www.tomsguide.com/print/roku-stick-vs-chromecast,reviews-2058.html

No, you won't be able to do that. A cheap solution would be to get the $35 Google Chromecast.

I would like to know the same thing, about google chromecast, roku stick, and the amazon fire stick. Can they be directly plugged into the HDMI port and directly projected onto a screen.

If your chrome device has compatibility with projector/display hardware, then download the Ziggi software from online site and it all should be plug and play. :-)

I have not managed to get it to work. I installed the latest software update on the TV, but am still getting no signal when plugging in Chromecast (CC). Have you managed to get it to work?

I'm not sure if that would work or not, but we just bought the Google ChromeCast $35. It is a dongle that hooks into the HDMI and picks up wireless from iPhone, ipad, or MacBook. Very slick. Anything we watch on these devices displays on the tv. I understand Apple TV is similar but it is $99.

I have not tested this, but would guess it would. My setup is I have a surround sound system which several hdmi and other connections to it and one hdmi cable out to this and I am able to switch with no problems. I plan to test this out, but I do not currently have a chromecast.

Your tablet will probably support it after you get an update to Android 4.2 or above. Screencasting (miracast) is not natively supported on lower versions of Android.

#1 get Chromecast about 35$, download cromecast app, your "TV" must have hdmi input, use the insta outlet to power the Chromecast and "TV", now "cast" movies, Picts and mirror what ever from your smartphone, tsblet, PC, desktop to your "TV". Good luck.

It might, but Google's Chromecast is probably a better device. I had all kinds of trouble getting this to work and eventually gave up. I also don't understand what you mean by the netflix comment. You do need to get the content from somewhere. If not from Netflix then from Hulu or Amazon Prime etc. This device (or Google's chromecast or any other device) certainly won't help you with *getting* the content, just casting it to a TV when you have it.

I have the same. There wasn't anything I needed. It pretty much works or it doesn't. I work in IT and have tested about 10 different devices with the Asus device. The Samsung Note tablet does not work with this. There may be a patch coming out soon, but for now I can't make it work. Most Android devices I have tested work, most tablets and Surface devices work. iPad's don't work, but they don't support Miracast. If you have the exact model, it may be that I've tested it already. Just let me know.

I could not get my Chromecast (using a female/female hdmi adapter) to make the sound work. However, the picture was great on my TV. Did you mean dongle? My Chromecast has a male hdmi connector. The cable has a male hdmi input connector.

No, you can't do that. This adapter has a 'male' HDMI connector. The Chromecast has also a 'male' HDMI connector, so they can't connect each other. What you need is a projector with a HDMI input for video, so you can connect the Chromecast directly to it.
