If you have one of these models, check if it has one of the streaming receivers to see if it is compatible with casting to TV.
Castify does not modify video sources. Only send the original source to your streaming receivers. The app does not host any content. Therefore the compatibility and availability of the videos depends on the source websites themselves.
-This app only broadcasts from websites that use the public format. Proprietary video and movie formats will not stream to your TV.
-If a video does not play or a disconnection occurs, there could be several reasons:
1. Your ISP (Internet Service Provider)
2. The source website itself
3. Insufficient WIFI signal strength
Troubleshooting:
-Make sure your WIFI connection is stable and on the same network. Streaming online movies to your TV requires a good internet connection.
-Most connection problems can be resolved by restarting the broadcast receivers or phone.
-Flash movie websites are not supported by streaming device manufacturers.
