I don't know if watch what i am seeing on the tv on my android device could be possible. I have a SAT decoder with a HDMI port and I want to do the reverse of Chromecast. Watch on my android device what the decoder is sending. Thanks in advance for any help.
You cannot as far as I know stream tv content from your tv to your phone the reason for that is your phone is for hdmi out and not hdmi in you can use your phone to stream content to your tv from your phone via hdmi adapter. There is a app for watching live tv on your android device called live media player and us live tv that can be found on google play store.

DLNA is cool. I can even watch movies on my phone. But I don’t have a DLNA-certified TV. My TV is a normal one. Can I still watch movies from the computer on my TV?
To access DLNA streaming, if your TV is not certified dlna one, then use a media player hardware as a bridge. Of course, this media player must be dlna certified one like the popular ones: WD TV, Popcorn Hour, TVIX, Dune Player, PS3...
Use the cable to connect your hardware media player to your non-DLNA certified TV set. Thus your TV set is only used as a HD monitor.
Also the supported codecs of these players is very important point. MKV file can not be streamed by DLNA directly. Try a video converter app to transcode mkv to compatible one. Seaching on Google, you will find one. I find one via searching dlna mkv video converter.
Good luck. ^-^
And don't forget you lose subtitles since there is no standart for in in DLNA specs.
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 have a Panasonic Smart TV and I'd like to watch some movies on it, via my Nexus 5. How do I do that?
I went to Settings>Screen Cast and when I turn it on, it finds nothing.
The cast feature isn't implemented yet in Chromecast. However, for streaming video I would recommend using the realplayer cloud app. You can stream any video (and audio I think) content from your phone, or anything in your realplayer library. For example if you have a computer on the same wifi that has videos in the library (not even necessarily uploaded, just in the library) you can stream it using your N5 because it will be in the app.

How to enable google cast receiver on android tv box?

I'm trying to figure out how to cast videos from a browser or local content from an app such as VLC, with my oneplus 7 pro to my LG tv.
I can use the casting feature on the youtube app no problem and I can cast my whole screen to the tv but in a chrome browser or other chrome based browser like brave or edge, I never see a cast icon when I'm watching video content.
Similarly, I've read that there VLC app for android has supported casting for a while but I don't see the cast icon in the app either. Although I do see "casting" in settings.
Yes my phone is on the same WiFi and the tv, and again I can cast my whole screen and with the YouTube app, but apparently nothing else.
Thanks for any advice and tips.

The cast option does not appear because you do not have a Chromecast (or android tv with Chromecast support) device at home. This is different for youtube because every TV with the YouTou app supports "casting" youtube from a device. But it's not really casting, it's more controlling as if you had a remote app on your phone.
Smart TVs use MiraCast or BubbleUPnP, or even AirPlay (for Apple TVs).
SO in short you can't cast anything to your screen with regular android apps or your browser because this is available only for Chromecast.
There are alternatives tho. You can download apps that are meant to use Miracast or other cast technologies. I use Tubio, it's a web browser with a solid pop/ ad blocker, and with which you can cast every video content to your smart tv. It support MiraCast, BubbleUPnP, AirPlay and Chromecast so no more struggle!
Thanks, I'll check out tubio.
