Bought a xiaomi mi TV and someone is driving me crazy

by KosidK

So I'm watching a film with my girl and someone keeps trying to connect to my TV. How can I just stop this from happening? It's so annoying. It stops whatever we are doing and we have to deny the Iphone connecting to it. Idk why he keeps trying every 5 minutes.

Android TV comes with something called "Chromecast Built-in" inside the OS, which means you can use your TV as a regular Chromecast to cast videos, photos, etc., the problem is, it is always ON and there is no way to turn it OFF, you will need to explain the person how this works.

I think you can disable the Chromecast built-in app but I'm not sure, you'll need to go to settings -> apps and check if you can disable it.

That someone has to be in your network... Go in your router settings, change password and block the Mac address of the device that's trying to connect

If you have Nvidia shield TV and think they actually have an option for this problem

It could also be the maracast service, look into whether or not your TV has settings for that.
