Venue 8, chromecast and cast screen option
I have the chromecast app on my Venue 8. It works fine for apps that have the cast icon. However, when I try to use the cast screen option in the chromecast app itself, the tv screen goes black and remains black until I disconnect cast screen. Has any one run into this and how did you get around it?

No. When I cast the screen on my Nexus phone it works great with the Chromecast devices I have. It also works when I cast Chrome from my laptop. The screen only goes black when I try to cast the screen from the Chromecast app on my Dell Venue 8. I believe there is a problem with the Chromecast app because it display a "Not optimized for this device" message.

Do you get the same problem when you cast from another device such as a laptop via Chrome?
