Larry Wisniewski (ID: 000000a11d98f20f) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/30/2022 Does anyone know of any alternative extension to cast to Roku? It was great for my boomer dad, but now I'm having the same problem as others have reported. I cannot verify when it stopped working. When I click on the extension, and then click the "cast" button, it begins loading on my Roku TV...To be exact...the TV pulls up a screen that says "Play on Roku" for about half a second. That screen closes then returns to the Roku Home screen.
