I have been unable to get ANY casting options from my Google Android Pixel to my new Roku Stick+, with the exception of Youtube, which is basically worthless cause I can just use the Youtube app on the roku itself. I have tried to screen mirroring using Settings->Connected Devices->Cast and the Roku does not appear. Trying to use other apps that support casting to Chromecast, like Plex or or web videos on Chromecast, again, only the chromecast shows up. I've read dozens of articles and forum entries without any success. Have I made a mistake with this purchase, is it ever going to support true casting of apps, or do I need to go back to Chromecast (which doesn't handle hotel wireless very well at all)? Yes, they are on the same wifi network. I've even tried a new shring app called AllConnect that sees the Roku, but can't actually connect to it. Mirroring is set to allow all, just for testing.
