Tommygilf Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I can't cast it from my phone, I've logged into OuRLeague through my TV, full screen removes the video images but keeps the sound going. So I'm watching a third of a screen... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, what operating system, what browser, what average connection speed? Maybe someone can help, because otherwise you'll have to catch the highlight, because Dom Young is worth watching.

I haven't used an Apple product since the old B&W screen Powerbook, so I can't help, but maybe someone else can. I'm watching with the Silk browser that comes with Amazon Fire TV products, and the only drag is that I can't get rid of the page header in full-screen mode. My Toshiba Smart TV has a built-in browser, but that's best avoided.

corvusxiii Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Samsung Tab A casts to all TVs in the house when using YouTube. Would only cast to an Android TV and that took 25 mins.

There are so many variables in everyone's setups that casting can't be guaranteed to work. A common standard would be welcome, just like those universal charger plugs that we have avoided having thanks to Brexit (except we're getting them anyway, whatever Rees-Mogg says). 1 "We are easily breakable, by illness or falling, or a million other ways of leaving this earthly life.

I'm assuming that the ChromeCast thing is a software thing on the Android TV rather than a 'stick' as there isn't one and aren't Android-Google-Chrome-whatever tied into each other? Or something. Yes, some sort of standard would be good as I'm largely clueless and we could then reject it and proclaim summat about sobriety and WW2. TESTICULI AD BREXITAM.

Stuff Smith Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) How are you posting here? If it's on your phone and you want to cast from your phone, chances are I can't help. Well, I possibly could but only if it's an Android one and it might take hours. And I'd have to Google stuff. And I'm way too lazy for that. Anything Mac: chances of me having a clue are next to zero. But Windows laptop? Buy a HDMI lead (providing your TV has a spare HDMI port), then PM me. (Actual PC? Just watch it on the PC.) But not right before (or even on the day of) the game. And I may be able to help. (Your chances of help increase if you've said nice things about London Broncos previously.) That's the way I always watch Rugby League on "TV" now. Even Sky stuff which I watch on Sky Go, on a laptop connected to the "bedroom" TV. (My partner's enthusiasm for our sport evaporated when Henry Fa'afili went to Rugby Union***.) ***That's completely wrong and unjustified. Sorry love, apologies if you ever read this: it's when Kevin Sinfield stopped playing. Edited October 7, 2022 by Stuff Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I look forward to next week, when TRL's 2 or 3 professional Luddites start their "BBC? How do I log in to that then? We're not all new-fangled teenage tech moguls, you know! Television? What's that when it's at home? If I can't watch the World Cup via carrier pigeon, it's a farce, a joke and a disgrace. If it isn't on the Light Programme, I'm not bothering with it." posturing. 1 2 "We are easily breakable, by illness or falling, or a million other ways of leaving this earthly life.

RigbyLuger Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 With the level of commentary, perhaps we should be glad it wasn't free on YouTube!

RigbyLuger Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 That also suggests a lot of money has been wasted streaming things to small audiences, and I wonder how many would have watched on YouTube. But still, positivity! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
