Windows 10: Casting to AnyCast- How do I set it up properley so that I can cast AND still access the...

My PC does not support Miracast.

My TV has an AnyCast dongle and it shows up in my local network.


I can connect to AnyCast, and then cast songs/vids to the TV (in a clunky fashion).

But then I lose my internet access.

I never have been able to work out how I can have both connections at the same time.


I recently upgraded to a Microsoft Account and hoped things might improve.

I've turned on the sharing options in Media Player and elsewhere.

Have tried all the likely recommendations for permissions/sharing/streaming that I have seen in this forum.

But still no good.

I see nothing that resembles 'Cast to Device' that I have seen mentioned in some posts.


The AnyCast screen that is displayed on the TV shows a possible connection step involving my router.

But I am not very familiar with that side of things.

This may be where I lacking?

Hope someone may be able to help me.

Windows Media Player 12 Not Casting

Hello. I have the same problem as the original poster. I am able to cast individual songs to Marantz receiver, but I cannot cast playlists.

Here are some additional details. I have Windows 10 and WMP12.

To cast a song in WMP12 I do the following:

1. right click song

2. select "Cast to Device"

3. select Marantz receiver (I have other device which also appear on list of options to cast to)

When I right click a playlist, and select "Cast to Device", the only option that comes up is "Cast to Device". In other words, "cast to device" appears a second time, none of my devices appear as in step 3 above when only trying to cast an individual song.

I also, after applying the suggest resolutions noted in the posts above, I tried creating a new test playlist, but I couldn't cast that playlist either.

Are there any additional steps I can take to resolve this?

Thank you.

Please confirm a couple of things:

• Are you using Edge browser to cast the videos?

I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps:

• Open Edge browser and access the video which you want to cast to your TV.
• Click on the Share icon on the top right hand corner of the browser.
• Among the listed devices select your device and check if you're able to cast the video.

Hope this helps and please get back to us with the status of the issue so that we can assist you better.

 

Cast to device stopped working

Hi Dale,

Casting media files surely improves the experience. To better understand your issue, we'd like to know the following:

• The process that you performed to cast.
• Error messages encountered on casting.
• The device where you intend to cast.
• The medium (Bluetooth or Wi-Fi) that you are using to cast.

If you are using Windows Media Player to cast, you can check the steps provided by
