Same problem here. Something changed on the Chromecast recently that is preventing any sort of URL streaming.

It looks like the Chromecast HLS parser was failing to parse Twitch's HLS video files. I've hack-fixed around the Chromecast bug and it seems to work now.

Thank you for the hard work i hope this tool is here to stay
this is literally the only app that will work with 1080p 60fps with no lag,drop frames or reconnects
it's a shame lol iphone,android,computer,vlc,soda,castbuddy all fail while this work

@night, can you share what changed on the Twitch side? Was it the m3u8 file or the HLS stream itself?
