Chromecast w Google TV - streaming sport from "non legitimate" sources and unable to cast from phone to TV

by avocadogravy

On the strength of recommendation here recently I have bought a Chromecast this weekend and am setting it up.

The problem I'm facing is all of my usual sources for sport feeds ... none appear to support casting from my phone to my TV.

I am able to mirror the whole of my phone using the "Home" app - but this is not ideal to sit and watch 6+ hours of Sunday football and not use my phone/check on my fantasy team etc.

I've searched and see people recommending various apps in old threads - Web Video Cast seemingly the most frequently mentioned ... but either it doesn't work any more or I am doing something wrong.

One option seems to be to load to my laptop and cast the whole tab to my TV - but if that is the only solution - I might as well just watch on my laptop.

Any help - or recommendations for where I should be streaming my games from - very much appreciated 😎

If there is no solution - I likely will return the Chromecast and resort to a cheap Chinese box, as at least that will do what I need it to.

Have you tried the Web Video Cast app? It allows you to cast videos embedded on websites

Are these sources available in a playlist, like an m3u file? If so you could load that playlist in an IPTV app.

If it won't stream properly to the built-in chromecast, you may want to install the companion app Web Video Caster Receiver on the dongle.
