Anycast

[ijsa]

The Anycast setup is as follows:

Main Screen
-- dead tinypic image removed --

WiFi Screen
-- dead tinypic image removed --

Scan Screen
-- dead tinypic image removed --

Setting Screen
-- dead tinypic image removed --

there are no further options....

No option to update/ upgrade or set screen resolution.....

What is your firmware version..... mine is 4.62.00

and the screenshot posted by you...... has EzCast pro written..... is it a EzCast dongle.......

And you are lucky that your Anycast Dongle AP works even after switching off TV by remote but mine does not....... may be due to different TV..... mine is Samasung....

@ijsa Ok, I could see that your dongle is version 1 of anycast and mine is version 2 of anycast, so the difference. No after upgrade in anycast v2 dongle you get this option like ezcast, pro, pro+timer which are just different names for airplay, mircast, mircast for 2 minutes then airplay mode.
Regarding the second part, Is the usb port of anycast powered, as thats the thing which matter, HDMI port has nothing to do with it.

@ bsnl super user, I need your help regarding Anycast. I use jiofi and use Jio Tv on my phone to watch starsports select hd2. I tried casting function of Win 10 and it works but the problem is Hotstar content is DRM protected so it does not display on screen. Can you try to see if anycast can mirror Hotstar through JioTv properly.

@Zexen The solution is, First play Hotstar video then cast it to TV in that way it works, The same problem is out there with Amzon prime video where you will not be getting HD stream but if you play Amazon prime video first then cast it to TV then HD streaming works.

I guess you should use an older version of Hotstar as it was working for me around 6 months ago as of now I can't test it because my windows 10 is messed up and connect app itself isn't working for me now but why JIO isn't releasing website version of their apps, Do they have a contract to just provide this services on mobile devices only?

it works on a phone with lollipop but does not work with marshmellow....
