pete 2,499 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I can get Youtube and Dutch TV to Chromecast to my TV but I can't get RTV to do it. Can anyone help or does it not allow it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have one but have a Fire Stick now... but I would imagine there would be a way of casting from Google Chrome, assuming you use a web browser to login and access RTV. What device are you using to cast from? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewarty 2,027 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Step 2. Cast your screen from your Androiddevice Connect your Android device to the same Wi-Fi network as your Chromecast device. Open the Google Home app and go to the Account tab . Scroll down and look for Mirror device and tap on it. Tap on the CAST SCREEN/AUDIO button. Select your Chromecast device. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He already sees my mobile and I can watch Youtube and the Dutch TV app but when I open up RTV to watch a game there is no chromecast screen to link it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarty 2,027 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I could be wrong but the instructions above enable the mirroring of whatever is on the screen. From memory when I had a Chromecast, not all apps facilitated casting which was a pain. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably but I wouldn't have got an answer so quick and it may also help other people as RTV is becoming a lot more popular. I will move it there later.

I thought that as well but RTV is not casting. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMc 2,754 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 My understanding of Chromecast is anything will 'cast' as long as it's being watched on the Chrome web browser. I don't understand how a specific website could prevent the browser from 'casting'. I can see how an app wouldn't work though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Dynamo 128 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Can you cast direct from your phone? My phone has an option to cast my screen. Only time I have been unable to do it this way was with Sky. Which has a feature to prevent you doing so. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
