I am facing a wierd problem accessing the Chromecast extension in Chrome.



I made a web page and when the user press connect it call the Cast Api and open the dialog to connect to a Chromecast.



In some pcs it doesn't work the error that appears is:




chrome-extension://invalid Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED




The error just occurs in Windows in non administrator accounts.



I thought it was the proxy, or the company network firewall, but it wasn't we tested without the proxy and the error occurs.



If the account is a Windows Administrator it works!



My guess is that the Chrome or Windows is blocking the access to the extension because is a javascript calling the cast.js and the cast.js calls extension (Maybe CORS).



My website has https. I set in Internet Options as a trusted site.
In old Chromes the error is different:




GET chrome-extension://pkedcjkdefgpdelpbcmbmeomcjbeemfm/cast_sender.js
net::ERR_FAILED




Does anyone know how to fix it(chrome-extension://invalid)?

I discovered what happened.
The corporate network is protected by their proxy.



We monitored the calls and discovered that:
The cast lib tries to call the cast extension pkedcjkdefgpdelpbcmbmeomcjbeemfm, which is not installed at %appdata% folder.



The Chrome tries to download it at: gvt1.com and the network blocked this domain. After talking to the network administrator, we released the domain and it worked.
