Got my Chromecast hooked up and works fine from my laptop but I can't get it to work from my iPad gen 1, can't upgrade gen 1 to ios 6
All I really want to do us be able to queue up Netflix movies from the iPad.
Have any of you got a way to make it work?

From the Apple Store Chromecast app page...
Compatibility: Requires iOS 6.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.

If you cannot upgrade your iPad to iOS 6 then you may be out of luck. Some have reported that they can get the app to work on the iPad 1 without iOS6 for Netflix control but that's about it.

You generally need to have the Chrome browser installed and then the Chromecast app for the Chrome browser installed to cast content other than YouTube or Netflix.

Edit: To cast to Netflix or YouTube you need both apps installed or updated to the latest version if installed.
