TV Cast for Sony TV

This app is specifically designed for Sony TVs that have the built-in Video & TV Cast app. If you have a Sony TV with integrated Android TV, you will need to download the 'Video & TV Cast | Google Cast' app instead. With Video & TV Cast, you can easily browse the web and stream or cast any video you want on your Sony TV. All you have to do is navigate to your favorite website and with a single tap, you can send the embedded video to your TV. The video will then be displayed below the browser and can be played immediately by tapping on the link.

Before using the app, there are a few important notes to keep in mind. First, you will need to open the built-in Video & TV Cast app on your Sony TV to get started. Then, you will need to enter the IP address of your Android device using the number pad and directional keys on your Sony remote. It's also important to note that certain videos are not supported by the app, such as Flash video, Google Play movies, Netflix, Amazon, and HBO, as well as other DRM protected videos, web-videos, online-movies, livestreams, and live TV shows. It's recommended to test your websites and videos in the free edition before upgrading to the paid version, as upgrading will not magically fix any casting issues.

The app does not mirror your entire Android device, but rather just pushes the video portion of a website to your Sony TV. If you want to play mp4, m3u8, or other video files directly on your TV, you can enter or paste the full video URL into the browser address bar. Sometimes, it may be necessary to play the video on your Android device before it can be detected for casting. If you experience connection issues, try restarting your Android device, Sony TV, and wifi router.

If you encounter any problems with casting a specific web-video, online-movie, livestream, or live TV show, you can check the FAQ or report the issue to [email protected]. The developers will try to add support for your video as soon as possible. Leaving negative reviews on the Google Play Store without providing any information about your issue will not allow the developers to help you. It's also important to note that the app only requires minimal Android permissions and does not access any personal data or information.

If you have any suggestions or encounter any problems with the app, you can contact the developers at [email protected]. They will do their best to assist you as soon as possible. If you enjoy using the app, please consider giving it a 5-star rating on the Google Play Store or purchasing one of the add-ons to support the developers. Please note that this app is not affiliated with Sony or any other mentioned trademarks.
