Question

Chromecast challenge

by Sep 26, 2018 9:52PM PDT

Have had Chromecast working well for a long time. Cast using ipad and iphone, with various apps; YouTube, Netflix, etc. Our home has several sticks in use. The one in our rec room (connected to very nice Samsung TV) no longer shows up within the casting button. Have tried restarts, unplugging, and anything else I can read. Latest try was a factory reset. Now it wants me to set everything up via Google Home. I've started that process but wants me to use Gmail. I don't have nor want Gmail. I just want it to work like it did before and would prefer to not use google home. BTW, it is the first generation type of chromecast device. Thank you for advice here!

Set up a ‘dummy’ gmail account just for chromecast usage. Not sure why this scares you off.

I've never been in a sex shop. The girls with whom I were in the relationship didn't welcome such entertainment, but these always come with their own, so you do not need to buy anything. Even go to the site , you always found what u needed.
