Description
Watch any web-video, online movie, livestream or live tv show on your LG Smart TV with webOS and NetCast. Enjoy the show on your big screen with the no#1 web video streamer.
With Video & TV Cast for LG Smart TV you can browse the web and stream any web video, online movie, livestream or live tv show you want on your LG Smart TV. Mp4, m3u8, hls livestreams and also video-over-https are supported.
There is no time limit at all! You can watch videos of 2 minutes or 2 hours or even more. Just open Video & TV Cast, navigate to a website, wait for link detection and send the video with a single tap to your LG Smart TV. The discovered link will be shown below the browser. A tap on the link will start the show. You don't need to install a big media server like Plex or any other third party software.
>>> Important Notes
* To enable video casting please open the LG App Store (LG Smart World / LG Content Store) on your TV, search for 'TV Cast' and install the companion app.
* Please enter the ip-address of your iPhone/iPad by using the number pad and up/down/left/right keys on your TV Remote or scroll wheel on your Magic Remote. Just enter the numbers, no need to press the enter key.
* iTunes movies, Flash video and DRM protected videos like Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, DirecTV, Xfinity, HBO now are not supported!
* Please test your favorite videos with the free edition before upgrading!
* Please use the hardware remote of your LG for controlling the TV app and video playback.
* The app streams only the video part of a website and not the whole website content (No screen or tab mirroring!).
* Sometimes it is necessary to play the video on your iPad or iPhone first before it gets discovered by the app for streaming. It may also be neccessary to start casting multiple times until it works with specific videos.
* If a specific video is not working, please check the FAQ on the app startpage. If that does not help you, please drop us an email before leaving a negative comment on the App Store. We will try to add support for that website as soon as possible.
>>> PRO FEATURES
* Remote Playbar: Use the Playbar for advanced video control while browsing, including video scrubbing, forward, rewind, play, pause, stop. The playbar works on all LG Smart TVs.
* Local Videos: Cast your camera roll videos from an iPhone or iPad. Supports mp4, m4v and mov videos that were saved to the camera roll via Apples SD-Card/USB Adapter, iTunes Desktop Software or third party apps.
* Ad-Blocker + No Sponsoring Ads: The Pro app version has no ads and the Ad-Blocker blocks ads & popups on most websites that you visit. You can update, enable/disable ad-blocking at any time in the settings.
* Bookmarks: Save unlimited website bookmarks. Synchronize and transfer them between different TV Cast apps and iOS devices by using backup and restore via iCloud.
* Desktop Mode: Change the browser user-agent and cloak your iPhone/iPad as a desktop PC to load the desktop website instead of a mobile website. Please note that this will NOT enable video casting on websites that serve Flash videos in desktop mode.
* Change Homepage: Set your personal homepage in the settings

Ratings and Reviews
Good but could be better
The app is great for streaming you tube video or movies I find on various internet sites. However could do with improvements:
-1- To pause video there are no controls on full screen mode. Therefore if you have as an example have to answer a phone call while watching, you have to exit full screen mode, then click pause. Should have controls appear in full screen mode when mouse is clicked and then push pause (in my opinion) and a simple push play to resume - at the moment when stopping the video you have to exit full screen first then push pause. Then to restart the video you push play then enter full screen mode. (Ho hum) -2- For forwarding or reversing video, does it in about 5 minute “chunks” - there should be configuration to set the amount. You can use the phone app to go forward or backward but it is not good for say 30 seconds due to screen size of cell phone. -3- Would be great if the app was able to mirror the iPhone as well
Apart from that I am pretty pleased. It has excellent control over pop up ads which plague you when trying to use computer to view them, but are no issue at all in this TV app. There is no lag because you are not really streaming from the phone to the TV What you are really doing is finding the content on your phone, then sending the TV the web address to view it. The TV browser does a good job of rendering the video/movie
Developer Response ,
Thank you so much for taking time to review our app and for the detailed feedback including feature requests. We really appreciate it and are glad that you like our app.
If you would like to pause a video in full screen mode, please note that you can either use the Playbar of the app or your remote control from your LG Smart TV (unfortunately, this doesn't work with all remotes.). The Playbar will show up in the browser while casting a video. Please ensure that you have activated the Playbar in the settings.
Please note that you can adjust the speed for fast forward and rewind in the settings of the app. Intervals for 10, 20 and 30 seconds are available. The intervals may be different when using the hardware remote control of your LG TV.
For mirroring your device screen or content from third party apps, we have built the "Screen Mirroring App". With the "Screen Mirroring app", you can mirror your iOS device screen to any receiver device with a web browser.
Please give it a try and let us know what you think. To take advantage of our support, please write us via e-mail (info@video-tv-cast.com). We'd love to hear from you.
Difficult to set up
I’m finding it hard to set up. I’ve paid for the upgrade, because I did not seem to be able to get past anything without doing so and now I cannot get past the IP address part, it keeps toggling.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for taking time to review our app. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Please try the following options that may help:
(1) Please make sure that your streaming device and your sender device are connected to the same wifi network.
(2) Please make sure you have a stable internet connection (both your iOS device and the receiver device). Please also try to move your wifi access point (or router) nearer to your receiver device and your sender device to improve the signal.
(3) Please make sure that the energy-saving mode of your phone is not activated (the battery percentage of your iOS device should ideally be above 30%). This can lead to incorrect transmission.
(4) Please try to turn off both your smartphone and your Cast device completely (pull the plug) and let it cool down for about 5 minutes.
(5) Please double check the entered IP address for typing errors.
(6) Please read the FAQ and watch our tutorial videos on YouTube.
If this does not help you, please contact our support team via info@video-tv-cast.com. We are always happy to help.
