Same for me, it worked on 4.4 but after upgrading to 5.0.4 it doesn't show any device to cast to. Downgrading back to 4.4 works.
Also: I have confirmed this on 2 devices, one on Windows 10 and the other on Windows 11.
So, I am not wrong about this issue! Thanks a lot. Back v4…

I would also like to add that it would be great to put this button inside the 3 dots button (more settings) because I don't use it and people who use it probably doing it once anyway. it's not as common as subtitles for example.
Do you know the version which include cast button on android? I have to use external players to cast, but crash every ten minutes cuz the torrent files, its annoying
@plasticinproduct you need to enable foreground service, it's in the mobile app settings, so the OS does not kill the Stremio process when the app is in the background
