Windows Cast to Device not working after latest major androidTV update

by PhilipMcNally

I have a Sony Bravia and after the latest update I can't seem to cast local video files from my windows laptop to my tv anymore. Anyone running into the same issue?

I have had the same issue after the last major update. Cant find a way to fix it. Casting from other Android devices works fine.

Might need to roll back the update

Windows Cast is either Miracast for Wireless display or DLNA for casting audio/video files stored your computer. Android TV does not support natively either of these protocols. If it was working before on your Sony TV, then it must have been a custom implementation that is vendor specific.

Android TV supports Chromecast protocol, and you'd use f.e. Google Chrome browser for Windows to cast content to Android TV.
