This app casts only from public formats websites. The app will not cast movies and proprietary video to TV.
There could be many reasons why a video won’t play or disconnects.
1. The ISP (Internet Service Providers)
2. The source website itself
3. Insufficient WIFI signal strength
Troubleshooting:
Ensure that your WIFI connection stays stable and is on the same network. A good internet connection is essential for streaming online movies to TV.
– Restarting the phone or casting receivers can resolve most connection issues.
