![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The "logic" behind this is surely disfunctional, but hey, it's how things work. This app, however, does not support casting, for whatever reason. After clicking sign in on your TV screen with the Roku remote, then go to a computer or your mobile device and visit the link as directed. Newer TV sets do not support it, handing over to Samsung Smart Things "thing". Older (2017) Sammy TV sets supported Samsung Smart View app which let you cast. ![]() That means the only way to make (new) Samsung screens let you CAST is to get Google Chromecast or switch to Apple. From your Xbox One, PlayStation, Apple TV, Chromecast, Boxee, and any of the any of the lesser-known media renderers out there. That being said, Samsung TVs don't have a clue about casting. There are many ways to consume media on your big screen and speakers. It's NOT the way to show photos or videos on a TV screen. "Mirroring" is useful when you want to make a presentation of your phone screen and whatever things you do on your phone. It's also the fastest way to show off your Google photos and videos on a big screen. "Casting" is the way to go if you want to pass that YT stream from the phone to the TV, or HBO or whatever app there is which supports it. In the 'Renderer' menu, select your Samsung Smart TV from the list of available devices. Click on the 'Playback' tab at the top of the VLC window and select 'Renderer' from the drop-down menu. It's a presentation thing for a projector, not a thing you'd use to show off your Google Photos on a TV.Ĭasting (as in Google Chromecast) on the other hand is sort of letting the app on a phone forward it's linked contents to the receiving app on the TV and as soon as the app picks up the "stream", it "takes over", "freeing" your phone (which can still control the stream, as in "play", "forward", "reverse", etc.) The most obvious difference is that as soon as the stream is passed to the device (a TV), the TV is rendering the stream, NOT the phone, which in case of the screen mirroring, would be the renderer and the TV would only receive frames to show on screen. Open VLC media player on your computer and select the video file that you want to stream. It's cumbersome, slow, prone to projection (as in display geometry) erros, etc. Screen mirroring is that sluggish "feature" that nobody really needs, which is projecting a smartphone screen onto a TV. Whatever you call these things, they're not the same. ![]()
