Unable to Cast to Device to my Smart TV

Thanks Bree.

The other similar thread to this says 'Cast to' used to work to a Samsung TV but now it doesn't. This would imply something is 'wrong' with our Win 10?

Can anyone suggest some more troubleshooting steps to try to determine what the issue is?

 

Is it possible to cast sequential files to TV? (Related: Fire TV Stick

Hi, recently I rediscovered I could cast files to my old smart TV across the room via the router next door. (That happens to be via the Youview box (streams, records) connected by ethernet, and to the TV). However, even if I have a file list displayed in the cast dialogue box, after one file has been played, casting stops, and I need to manually select the next file. I did try a play list file, but of course that's not regarded as a valid format in that context, even though there's a Cast context menu entry for it and it's added to the list in the cast dialogue box. Other than using a converter to merge files and to play that, is there any way to cast a list of files sequentially? I've not looked at Windows media player yet. Update After floundering around with playlists and WMP, I finally found there's ONE way to create a play list in WMP that, when cast, does actually play the files in playlist sequentially. This gives an idea:

I am wondering, though, if there isn't some more general way... ============================== Related: I have an Amazon Fire TV stick connected to a HDMI port. That supports bluetooth. However, despite some guides suggesting it should be possible to pair that with my PC, that fails. There is an attempt, then 'something went wrong'. I asked on their forum, but was only advised it offers limited options in respect of PCs, and is intended to pair with its remote control and gaming controllers. (The TV does not have or support bluetooth). Thanks. 19045.3570
