How to connect g5 plus to smart tv..?
Anyone successfully connected..
without Chromecast?
I stream to my TCL Roku SmartTV all the time... Never did anything special, just open Youtube and hit the cast button, select TV, and it works.

I have recently purchased a LG Smart TV. It has all the bells and whistles like wifi , miracast etc etc. Is it possible for me to mirror my phone to the TV while playing games, and also cast my Cinemabox app to the TV (while watching shows). In simple words can i have same functionality of a Chromecast. The TV and phone will be connected to the same wifi router.
If it matters anyhow, the TV model is LG 55UF851T.

Noone has a solution??
Mirroring via the Miracast protocol doesn't require a wifi router, it's a direct wifi point to point connection.
The Chromecast can also work through a direct point to point wifi connection (guest mode).

My query is a bit different. Considering the TV has wi-di and miracast, isnt it possible to mirror the S7 screen to the TV. I need the same for casting my games etc. Is it possible to mirror a S7 screen to a LG Smart TV.
The answer is easy...
If any TV set supports Miracast the answer is yes.
However performance for games is a bit poor...

yes. it is possible. in fact, the function to mirror a smartphone screen to TV supporting Miracast has been there since at least Samsung S4.they have changed the name of the functionality a few times but the end result remained the same and different phone manufacturers have different name. Samsung called it Smart Connect now.

I have tested it, if you need to know and it works fine.
I have the same problem. With my Axon7 I can cast YT directly or the whole screen trough Settings/Screen/Cast but with the S7 Edge I can't find such option. Any step by step guide?
So I have my Huawei P8 Lite, Build no. ALE-L21C432B170 with Kernel 3.10.61-ga9763c9; and a Samsung Series 6 Smart Tv.
The Multi-display shortcut thingy does not find the TV automatically. Through wifi direct I can connect my phone with the TV. Then run again the Multi-display thingy, the Tv's Wifi Direct name shows up, I press it, the TV goes into "Loading" - status and remains there yet the telephone signals that connection failed.
Tried it with an Allview P5Life, a far weaker device, yet with a single button press I could establish screen sharing, without having to mess around in Wifi Direct.
Can somebody confirm that the Huawei P8 Lite devices are not compatible with Samsung Series 6 Smart Tvs or that I need to do additional settings before being able to share screen?
P.S.: As I recall correctly I even tried sharing screen with an other brand Tv but without success. Need Help.
Hi!
I have a Smart Tv running Kodi.
When i try to cast from my P8 Lite via DLNA, i can see my device (kodi tv) only 1 time on 100 ..
While via AirPlay it works normally.
Cannot understand which could be the problem.
Any help is appreciated
Hi Is there a way to cast content on my phone to another source (via cast button) or app embedded cast that isn't chromecast? I know miracast isn't an option. I'm looking for something that doesn't require always on internet like chromecast
Ultimately I would love to buy a non chromecast reciever and cast whatever i can through my phone to it (like friends house who may not have always on wifi like chromecast requires)
Thanks,
Chris
Chromecast doesn't require internet. It requires WiFi (same router or not - as guest), but so it will anything else that you want to use to "cast" video.

Samsung Smart TV with the You Tube app on it. You can cast from You Tube on your phone.
Hi All,
I used to own a Pixel XL and still have the same Samsung tv. I used to be able to watch you Youtube on my phone and it didn't matter whether I was watching Youtube or Netflix or NowTv on my TV, I would be able to cast the video to my TV without any issues. This is without a chromecast and simply using whatever is built internally in the TV.
Now with my Oneplus 8 pro, I have to be on the Youtube app on the TV in order for the casting to work. So If I am watching Netflix and I want to cast my youtube video I can't simply cast it from the Youtube app on my phone, I must switch to the Youtube app on the TV first.
I have checked my TV and my phone is listed as an allowed device, I also tried using wifi direct on my phone and the TV is listed there, so it seems both are connected however there is an issue with casting from youtube on my phone.
Does this make sense? Does anyone else have this issue?
I have a Samsung smart TV from about 5yrs ago, and it works for me.
Have you tried to force restart the TV?(hold power until the Samsung logo shows up, the standby led will blink like mad)
Other than that try reinstalling the YouTube app on the tv,
Also try using the YouTube URL to link to your account ( I think it's YouTube.com/linktv).
