lel..gt samsung smart tv....can already cast something from ios youtube to the tv...wat more extra feature that this chromecast have that samsung smart tv no??

I have a Sony TV which runs the Android TV platform that have Chromecast embedded.

The things that I usually on my TV:
Google Play Movies
Google Play Music
Netflix
Spotify
YouTube

I believe some of the above is also available in Samsung Smart TV, but I feel Samsung Smart TV platform is running a loosing game, coz the reach is more for developers to develop for Chromecast rather than Samsung Smart TV platform.

Hi Bro, which sony android tv model that you use?

Does Chromecast support DLNA without internet connection, provided with Wifi.

Hi all.. anyone can help confirm if Astro On The Go app will work with Chromecast? Thanks

Cannot. Even I tried to cast the phone screen itself while the app playing clips/live feed, nothing happen.

Hi sir..with samsung smart tv you rely solely on App... Right now u can only cast youtube from you mobile correct... With chromecast you can cast all of app that support google cast...such spotify, iflix, netflix, facebook and many more.... If your only care for youtube, dont buy the chromecast...but if you want to cast your nephew singing let it go on your facebook post....chromecast js the way to go.... On the other hand topup abit and get the androive tv mi box from xiaomi... Got built in chromecast inside..

Ok. Thanks. Any idea what other device or Android box where I can project from Astro on the go to my tv?

Not sure. I think it's restricted by the AOTG app itself.

anybody using a female to female HDMI head to attach their Chromecast to their existing HDMI cable?

my TV HDMI sockets are difficult to reach at the back and its wall mounted. I already have a HDMI cable attached at the moment but since it is the male type, i thought i can use a female to female head to connect it to the Chromecast

Chromecast does support mirroring.
Just when press the 'Play' button, there is an error.

Error 101, if i am not mistaken. (HyppTV)

Dun understand
Play at hp then mirror to tv
If hp can play sure can mirror
I even can split screen (nougat) in hp n mirror to tv
So can read wasap while watch utube

I use my Lenovo P2 phone super cast to my Samsung smart TV. Whatever on my phone screen is mirrored to the tv. I can stream Astro Go App on my phone and watch on my TV.at same time. Even got option to blank the phone screen to save battery, while Astro continue to play on the Tv.

I use Google Home to mirror what's on the phone to TV, no problem.

To use Chromecast, the TV don't have to be Smart TV or Internet capable right? Because I plan to use it for my kids room where I have installed small non-smart TV. All this while I had to download videos from Internet sources to be played at the TV.

Also, do the Wifi connection that is used for the Chromecast and media device (phone/computer) to connect, must have Internet connection? Because I have read that Wifi connection can be established without using Internet connection.

Appreciate if anyone with experience can help me on this.
