Will it have enough storage space to update itself if you have more than four apps installed?
What is this?
I use the current gen Chromecast. Never encountered this issue.
I've got a bunch of apps.
Maybe it's gotten better since they first dropped, but this article alludes to the storage limitations. I ran into the problem with mine. I remember I had to delete apps and clear app data to get enough space to install an update.
The article also speculates the lack of storage may be why they Android version hasn't been updated on them since release.
Edit: Here's another link describing the problem around the time it launched. https://www.androidcentral.com/chromecast-google-tv-update-extra-storage-space-management
Edit #2: They may have received an Android update the first year after launch, but not since? Sorry but I've gotten a little fuzzy on the details.
Someone should tell apple about this technology
Is there even more than 4 apps in the store?
Sorry but I'm not sure I understand you. I haven't had mine on in a while (got a Roku) but I recall that there were apps for all the major streaming services.
I’m being facetious but the amount of apps between the chromecast and Roku is enormous. I’m sure it has most major apps, but as soon as I plugged it in and it didn’t even have an emby app, it went straight back to the store. Just relies way too much on casting, which I understand like any app can do but I don’t like that.
Ah I feel you. Now that you mention it, I may have had to cast something when I was using mine because it had a phone app but not a Google TV app. Syfy maybe? It's been too long.
