chromecast from IOS to Atom

Posted by: balma01 on 27 July 2018

I woul like to use  chromecast to listen BBC iplayer using an atom and an iphone.

I've installed the naim app and the  BBC iplayer on my iphone,  clicking on chromecast on the naim app I see that iplayer app, I launch it but I do not see the chromecst icon inside iplayer to redirect the connection to tha atom.

Do I miss something?

On the iPlayer app, you should see a Chromecast icon on the top bar to the right. Tap that, and your Atom should be listed so you can select it.

Thanks. The problem is that I do not see the Chromecast icon on the top bar to the right.

Do you have Chromecast app installed on your phone you'll need to for iOS as it's not inbuilt like android. Or I would just use airplay as your on iPhone. The app should support airplay and the atom does.

Not sure why this isn't working for you. Can you get Chromecast working from any other sources apart from iPlayer.

I would try restarting your router, phone and Atom, just in case it needs prompting to discover the iPhone app as a Chromecast device. Failing that, check that your iPlayer and Naim apps, iOS version and Atom firmware are up to date.

Works fine for me without this!

Discoverded that it's an iplayer issue. Spotify and mixcloud are able to cast to my atom.

I've opened an issue with BBC support, here the answer:

I’m afraid that it’s not possible to cast content from iPlayer Radio if you're outside the UK at present. We aim to offer this in future.

What happens if you use a different app, such as TuneIn radio instead of iPlayer?

TuneIn radio is able to cast to Atom but it doesn't shoow any podcast from BBC.

Try using AirPlay instead if this is for an audio stream, though apps/websites can refuse to Airplay too in some cases. Failing that try Bluetooth as it would be odd to block that.

Using Airplay it works perfectly.

Thanks
