Eir sport App (Green) not casting to Chromecast since chromecast update

schneilob

This is clearly a licensing issue that Eir does not appear to be able to resolve

Chromecast works perfectly with YouTube and Netflix - it is only Eir. 
It is infuriating as Eir Sports is the primary reason I chose Eir.  


Not next year I tell you unless this is fixed soon! 

Yet another nail in the coffin for Eir.  Surely this would be high priority, the company has had enough bad press already???!!

Hi wishbone

Linzi,

This has been an ongoing issue for weeks at this stage and there still isn't an update on that page as far as I can see. Surely someone at eir must have some kind of an idea what's happening here? Plenty of people only chose eir over cheaper options because of the sport package (which is a fantastic product when it works).

We can only apologise to our customers at the moment.  As I said before we don't know when we will have a fix for this issue, only that it is being worked on as a matter of priority.

As a matter of interest, how has this been resolved?  There has been no update to the iOS Green Eir app.

There has been no update to the android version either.

Can you confirm what gen chromecast device you are using? The issue is only with 2nd gen and ultra.

Good to hear its working again for some people, for me its even more broken than before, can't even watch on my phone now

Another night of Champions League missed

sunnysoutheast

Same for me. It won't even load on the phone.

I've tried reinstalling the App and I've now "used up my monthly device swap" apparently.

Last time I tried to use it I was told my "account was locked" which then somehow cleared itself.

It's absolutely and utterly useless. Doesn't even have F1 on it any more.

Having the exact same problem including the "monthly swap" issue, load of rubbish

Anyone from Eir on this to help out?

This is a joke from EIR............

2 houses here with same issue tonight. Eir sport was reason both of us joined Eir. A joke!

I had to ring eir today to fix the monthly swap issue, can’t watch anything on the app at all even after logging in again so can’t even check if casting is working...

There was talk recently of Sky making a deal with eir and that Eir will basically pay sky whatever they were paying to BT for access to the channels

The headline also says we may "no longer" receive the Premier Sports channels so I'd take it with a pinch of salt

Also working 100% here the app hasn't been updated though so very curious

I can confirm that mine is also working. 
Still a bit disappointed that there is no information as to what the cause and resolution were..
