I have the chromecast fully set up. But I'm still unable to stream from other interfaces. What build were you on at the time? Perhaps I need to update to a newer build.

In my all too brief test of chromecast

I had to set it up on the same 2.4ghz interface.

After it was setup I could get to it via 5 or 2 or wired interfaces.

On Cerowrt the 2.4 and 5 Ghz are separate IP networks (not bridged).
Chromecast uses some form of network local communication (Multicast?)
that is not forwarded. For normal users this is a security feature.
