Video casting

[mikehmb]

So I’m here at a charger, time to kill while my kid is at jiujitsu, and decided to finally mess around with in car streaming.

First - has anyone successfully gotten Disney+ app on iPhone to work? The RIvian shows up as a destination but it won’t send video. Odd.

Second - who is the psychopath that decided that the YouTube app search keyboard should not be qwerty???

When I had the C+ trial, Disney+ worked for me. I don’t currently have C+ so unless Rivian broke it in subsequent updates (possible), it should still work.

Could be the streaming platforms’ fault too. Hulu/Disney are constantly messing with and updating their apps. Make 3rd party support a nightmare.

Disney+ uses AWS and there was a major outage today.

Disney has worked for us on both gen1 and gen2 - though I’ve not checked gen2 recently for reasons.

As of yesterday I can *unfortunately* confirm that ‘PJ Masks: Power Heros’ was casting fine from Disney+ on iOS 26 to our gen1 ‘Bluey’…

Fair point - but I was able to stream to the phone, just not from the phone over Cast to the truck, which should be independent of the main stream or control channel.

That said, something funky could have been going on that limited app functionality.

I've had hit-or-miss luck with Disney and Hulu. Some days they work and some days they don't. Depends on the gremlins mood.

Commercials seem to universally break either of them.

There was something in the release notes for the next update about making casting work better with some DRM. It's not clear if this will fix a lot of the issues or a small number of the issues.

I streamed/cast from the Paramount+ app for a couple of hours while waiting for a ferry one day. Worked great. My guess is the Disney app or AWS.
