Does not work. Clicking on the 'cast' icon does exactly nothing.

Does anyone know of any alternative extension to cast to Roku? It was great for my boomer dad, but now I'm having the same problem as others have reported. I cannot verify when it stopped working. When I click on the extension, and then click the "cast" button, it begins loading on my Roku TV...To be exact...the TV pulls up a screen that says "Play on Roku" for about half a second. That screen closes then returns to the Roku Home screen.
