Hello,
most manufacturers now provide apps that allow us to stream media from our phones to DLNA compatible TVs (TVs, AV-Receivers, Media Center Devices etc.). I was however not able to find an app that allows you to play a youtube video from your phone to the tv. Does someone know such an app? Are there any technical limitations on our phones that prevent such functionality?
regards

Hello,
I got my surface on launch day and I love how easy the DLNA streaming implemented I can even stream skype to to my TV during video calls. However, seems there's no way to stream videos (I think streaming photos works) from IE10 to other devices? Does anyone have a solution? If not, is there any app that I can "share" the video (mainly from Youtube) on the IE to so that I can stream it to my TV from the app?
Thanks!
Is there any way or app which i could use to stream videos from my device to TV without any cable? I know there are UPNP/DLNA apps which can do that but problem is using that.. TV uses its own video player to play the files and we dont get much of functionality. I'm looking any app which could use MX Player/VLC or any other Android player to control the video in TV. Any help?
I want to cast videos to TV for big screen, how can I do this?

The latest version of MX Player already supports basic chromecast support through official Google's cast framework. It will automatically show a Cast symbol when there is a Chromecast or Chromecast built-in device in the same network. Please make sure that you have the latest version of the app, and using a Chromecast or Chromecast built-in device. Also, make sure that both the device and the receiver are connected to the same network. If it still not shows up for you, there might be some issues with the Google Play Services on the device or it could be due to a network issue. Request you restart mobile, cast receiver and router and check again. If the problem persists, try the basic troubleshooting steps mentioned in chromecast official documentation. It may fix your issues.

DLNA
My device only support DLNA protocol, MX player seems don't support.
Supporting DLNA would be much better than supporting Chromecast, because most smart tvs support DLNA only.
I can't believe I'm still asking this in 2020, but casting audio and/or video content to DLNA has been a problem since Android's release -- and the situation hasn't improved, even in Android Q. I've used BubbleUPnP on rooted phones for many years to stream almost any type of audio content to DLNA. But I haven't been nearly as successful casting video streams to DLNA, with BubbleUPnP or anything else. Up to now, I've just lived with it.
But along comes the virus, so our very large church can now only meet via its live stream. Understandably, my wife wants to view the services on the TV vs. a tiny phone screen. The live stream displays perfectly in any Android browser, but I've been totally unable to cast/mirror it to either of my DLNA-equipped TVs. I can cast locally-stored .MP4 movies from my phone to either DLNA TV with BubbleUPnP. And I've even managed to cast previous services from the church's recorded video archive, which are simply recordings made from the same original live streams.
But for some reason, trying to cast the live stream itself always gives errors. I've tried every option in BubbleUPnP, plus every other product I could find in the Play Store that claims to support DLNA, all with no success. Both the recorded videos and the live stream appear as embedded objects within the church's website, but I'm assuming the live stream uses a different protocol that none of the DLNA casting apps can handle?
Yes, I might be able to cobble something together using a Chromecast instead of DLNA. But I have no other need for a Chromecast; am not even certain that it would solve the problem; and just hate to run out and give Google more $$ for functionality that should have been built into Android years ago. Unlike a proprietary Chromecast, DLNA is a widely-used standard. DLNA renderers are built into two of my TVs, and an audio-only renderer is included in my Yamaha AV receiver. I'd just like to be able to use them.
Any ideas welcome... many thanks!

I know that you can use wireless projection and basically cast the phone to the TV at least that way you can use things like Huawei music/spotify, in addition play your apps? whether that would be a fix?
