Casting to smart TV on the s8 - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hello everyone.
I just noticed that I am unable to cast any video/photo onto my smart TV through a variety of apps.
I can get it to work on my m7 but not on this.
Anyone else experiencing similar issues?

Mirroring problems

I have a Sony Bravia android/TV 55. I can cast from YouTube and other apps but the mirror to TV won't work. It'll recognize the TV but just sits there and spins. This isn't a big deal really just curious has anyone else had this issue.
Well somehow got it to connect. I don't know how I did it. ?

Smart view question with Samsung TV / Kodi app

I am using kodi on my S7 edge and use smartview to watch it on my Samsung Smart TV. It connects fine but as soon as I turn my phone screen off the TV signal also goes. Is there any way around this. On my iPhone I used casting apps to cast videos, is this possible with kodi?

Update broke casting

Anyone experiencing this? Telling GH to play something from youtube on shield no longer works. Also, telling GH to show a Nest cam on shield no longer works.

Unable to screenshare Netflix to tv. Audio only.

Hello all!
I love this phone, purchased it used recently. However, my only problem with it is that if I screen mirror netflix, I get a blank screen with just audio.
THE ONLY difference between the essential and working models based on DRM info seems to be that it has hdcp 2.2 while working phones have hdcp-2.2. (Hdcp is part of the version number)
Does anyone who has this phone experience this? I can't chromecast as I need the unlimited data off the mobile. If you can screen share to a tv successfully with netflix, please tell me what products you use. Thanks!
Can anyone test to see if their's works?
What are you trying to stream to currently?
A Roku device, or a Microsoft Wireless Display 2, or a Screenbeam Mini 2.
All of the above cast everything except netflix.
Thanks btw.

SM-T580 + Sling TV

I have noticed a weird issue with my T580 and Sling. Everything in the Sling app works, except the cable broadcast channels (TNT, FX, etc.). No matter if they are recorded on the cloud DVR or live streaming, my T580 will bring up the player, and show buffering, as well as data being passed, but never loads the video or audio. I have 3 of these tablets in my household, and all 3 do the same thing. Of course Sling is no help. I was just wondering if anyone else with the T580 has Sling and could test this. I can play local channels as well as on demand channels no problem. All other Android devices work without issue. I have tried different ROMs, different firmware, different developer settings and nothing can get around this issue for me. Anyone else have this issue?

I don't use Sling because I get a lot more channels, for less money, using Eternal TV.
