Chromecast with Google TV gets new update with some improvements

Google is rolling out a minor update to Chromecast with Google TV today. Over the last few months, Chromecast has been getting firmware updates regularly. It shows Google is very serious about its streaming stick. The latest update changes the firmware version of Chromecast with Google TV to STTE.230319.008.H1 and it is packed in 59.61 MB. It is a very small update as compared to some previous firmware updates that are usually around 150 MB in size.

However, Google did not refresh the Chromecast firmware version page. According to 9to5Google, the new Chromecast update contains general bug fixes and improvements in the performance of the streaming stick. The update might be available for both Chromecast with Google TV 4K and HD variants. When we get some more information about the changelog or features we will get you posted here.

The last update i.e firmware version STTE.230319.008.R1 brings the April 2023 security patch and some other bug fixes along with performance improvements. Moreover, users will soon get Android TV 14 on their Chromecast with Google TV as beta testing starts last month.

  • The update broke the connection with the remote. Haven't figured out a solution yet. I can still use my phone as a remote.

  • I left a comment yesterday and it has disappeared. No ide why and not email telling me it was not accepted.

    Did the update and it broke my connection with the remote. Phone as remote still works. Last thing I saw on the screen was an option to choose between YouTube and YouTube TV for the YouTube button on the remote. I didn't do anything at that point and just shut it off, but the TV kept coming back on with that screen. Finally shut off the TV with my TV remote.

  • Thanks! Turns out it was the batteries, which were just replaced. Never assume new batteries are always good.

    • And that fixed it. Don't know why or how the old one broke, but it did happen after the Chromecast update. Oh well, all working now.

      • Yeah man its frustating experiance when these things happen, We can't say whats the exact problem. Its nice to hear from you that your chromecast is working now, Enjoy!.
