There may be many reasons why you're having difficulty casting 10 play content with Chromecast, please review some troubleshooting tips below:
Check your WiFi - please make sure you have a strong WiFi signal when casting. You will need to make sure your Chromecast device and the device you're casting from are connected to the same WiFi network.
Reboot your device -If the video is freezing or skipping, disconnect the device you're casting from and your Chromecast device from the WiFi. Reboot your device by unplugging it and leaving it off for a few seconds before plugging it back in again. Once it has completely re-powered, reconnect the device you were casting from and your Chromecast to WiFi and try again. Sometimes the most simple solutions work best!
Update your 10 play App - If your app keeps crashing, please make sure you are using the latest 10 play version as this could affect your ability to stream programming.
