Same here, I refreshed (deleted and reinstalled) both the Chrome Extension and the Android App and it's all working perfectly now.

RE: Android App no longer able to find chromecast.....*insert sadface*
Hi, I just wanted to join the bandwagon here as I'm having the same problem.
If I start the Chrome App from my computer, select a video to stream, select the chromecast I want it to be sent to, then the video will start to playback and the controls will also appear on the Android app and I can control playback. After this I can even proceed to select other videos listed in my library directly from the phone app and start other videos remotely without returning to my computer. But, if I don't kick this off from the PC (meaning everything beyond the simple act of opening the Chrome App within Chrome; not proceeding to browse files from the PC, etc.) then I can't stream video. If the Chrome app/tab is open then the Android app can see the list of videos I have included in my library, but if I select a video to play (and haven't played anything else manually from the PC yet) it'll just show a "Searching for..." chromecast box that seemingly doesn't go away, presents nothing more to select and I have to cancel out of the pop-up.
I'm hoping someone provides a solution/work-around. Thanks!
Also, on the side, is there a way to show the contents of the library on the phone with the relative file/folder hierarchy instead of just everything entirely in alphabetical order all side by side without paths?
