Philips android tv smartview/chromecast not working

by Vokami

Because of the deals I got a new philips tv today. I noticed it had chromecast and I have an android (galaxy z flip) with smart view so I wanted to try out how to somehow screenshare my phone into the TV since I have other apps on my phone that are not compatible with the TV google app.

So far I have had so many problems. My phone's smartview isn't recognizing the TV so I can't screenshare thereTV.

When I go to youtube I can't share my video with the tv because it doesn't show up, but if I'm in YouTube in the tv my phone asks me if I want to add the song on que ( super weird).

Bluetooth on my phone is connected to the tv.

The weird thing is that while I was downloading an app on my phone it asked me if I wanted to download it on my tv too? Soo how is it registering there and not on martview or the Google home app.

I downloaded the Google home app to try chromecast instead, But it's also not recognizing the chromecast tv.

-Both devises are on the same internet.

  • I have tried unistalling chromecast updates and re installalling.
  • I have rebooted the tv to factory reset. -chromecast is on (always) -I updated my phone -Bluetooth on my phone is connected to the tv.

I don't know what else to do. Does chromecast just not work anymore ? Or smartview on android not work on philip? What can I do if I want to screenshare I've been trying to solve this for 4 hours already:(

I just want to watch my show in a bigger screen now that I can.

Try to find it with Google Home

I suspect that smartview only works on Samsung TV's. Upload your video to YouTube and you can cast from the YouTube app.

I have the same problem. I try to delete Chromecast updates from time to time. The Chromecast normally works after that but not too long.
