Cast media to device not working

We have just installed this today and this feature isn't finding any devices.

I have have a look around in the settings and it isn't bringing anything up. I have also tried edge://flags, and looked at the cast settings and they aren't resolving the issue either.

I double checked on Google Chrome and it is working fine.

Any advice on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    I was having the same issue but was able to fix it by doing the following:

    1. go to edge://flags/
    2. search flags: "cast"
    3. look for: "Cast Media Route Provider", click the drop down and choose "Enabled".
    4. Click the Restart browser button that pops up
    5. Retry casting should now show devices on your network

    thanks,

    Jason

    Hi, Are you trying to Cast to a Chromecast? Are you on the same WiFi network as the device you are casting to?

    Hi Lewis, 

    I can reproduce that too. There are a couple of reports as well so it is probably a MS issue. I would post back once I get any other info.
