Chromecasting from iPhone
Issue:
To save on my Monthly Usage, I thought I would download several titles from both Amazon and Netflix onto my iPhone from a friends home with Cable Internet. I thought I could then Chromecast my downloaded titles when I got home where I have HughesNet.
This was an awful experience, as the titles were constantly buffering and I gave up after 20 mins, with about 1 minute of actual viewing.
Question: Doesn't HughesNet support Chromecast? Am I doing something wrong?
S
Things you should look into and check...
1 - signal strength at both the chromecast and iphone2 - What and how are you casting to the Chromecast? Using a special app? A media player on your phone? Chrome on your phone?
3 - Is the phone, and chromecast on the same wifi network?
4 - Is the filetypes supported by your phone? Do they play fine on there?
5 - Is the app you using, possibly trying to direct stream to Chromecast? If so, is the file type properly supported, and at the right resolution for your Chromecast?
