I've got only 1 network (2.4ghz) running, and both my PC, chromecast + the tv the chromecast is connected to are all connected to the S4 network. but nope, i still get "No devices found" on my pc, as if my PC is not even recognizing there is a chromecast... VERY annoying!

How on EARTH do i fix this issue?

I've successfully setup my Chromecast on my TV (2nd gen). I did the whole reset process and completed the setup through the Home app on my mobile. I can cast to my tv with my android mobile, but when I am trying to cast from my desktop PC, I cannot even get the chromecast icon to appear on either Chrome or Brave! Whether it's on youtube or any other media websites.

I tried enabling " Connect to Cast devices on all IP addresses " in chrome://flags, relaunched and even restarted my PC. Still no chromecast.

In brave://settings/extensions , I tried re-enabling "Media Router" and relaunched. Still "No devices found"...

I have no anti-virus stuff running.

I have a mesh system running for my network (2.4ghz), but both the tv, my pc and chromecast are all connected to the network without any problems.

So. How do I fix this? Any suggestions?
