    How to maintain slide show order when casting from PC to TV?


    Windows 10. Just learning how to cast photos from computer (PC) to TV. I am able to cast, but I'm having trouble getting images to appear in a desired order for a slide show. My photo organizer, Faststone, does not have casting properties. I have to cast from Windows File Explorer. WFE arranges the photos in the order of their file names. As I have not named each file, but left the camera's file names (numbers) in place, casting shows the slide show in the order of their ascending numbers. But this is not what I want as I would like them to show in the order that I have them in Faststone...and that order is not in an ascending numerical order but rather more like in a random order. Other than renaming (renumbering) each photo in the order I'd like them to show, could you make a more reasonable (less labor intensive) approach? Hope I made this clear. Thanks.

    :)

    Unable to Cast to Device to my Smart TV

    Thanks Bree.

    The other similar thread to this says 'Cast to' used to work to a Samsung TV but now it doesn't. This would imply something is 'wrong' with our Win 10?

    Can anyone suggest some more troubleshooting steps to try to determine what the issue is?

    Casting Photos to TV via Chromecast

    Hi Donald,



    Thank you for the reply.



    Try the steps listed below to cast Desktop screen:

    • Make sure the Chromecast is connected to the TV and both the devices are On.
    • Expand the Google Cast extension icon and select
      ‘Cast screen/window (experimental)’ option.
    • When prompted to cast entire screen,
      Accept and click on ‘Share’.
    • Open ‘Photos App’ to mirror photos on the PC.


    You may search for an app that can cast your media to any
    Google Cast device on your favorite search engine, and install it from the Store.



    Regards,

    How to maintain slide show order when casting from PC to TV?

    Difficulty casting from Win10 PC to Sharp Roku TV

    Ive posted before and come up with an annoying work around but I still need help with a permanent solution.

    My configuration:

    Win10 PC 64 bit

    Win10 Home

    Version 1903

    OS Build 18362.449

    RAM 16GB

    Intel core i7 3770K cpu @ 3.50GHz

    Sharp 55" Roku TV

    I've been having trouble casting from "Movies and TV" app to the TV

    • When right clicking on the video file and selecting "Cast to Device" says no devices found.
    • When I run the video in "Movies and TV" I click on the lower right hand of the screen and select "Cast to Device" it says its trying to connect but is not able to or says unknown error.
    • It is at these times when in Windows settings->Devices under Other devices is shows my TV as Not connected
    BUT

    When I remove the device from Windows settings->Devices under Other devices and then

    • Go to Bluetooth & other devices->Add Bluetooth or other device->everything else
    • I see my TV
    • I select my TV
    The screen says Ready to go

    The TV shows it is waiting for a response

    • I accept the connection
    • The TV shows the pear screen
    • The TV then says Starting video from... <the name of my PC>
    • The loading bar does not advance
    • (at this point I haven't even started a video yet)
    • if I do start a video the same above happens with no video being cast.
    • eventually the TV returns to whatever it was doing before.

    The next time I try this I have to remove the TV from Other devices again and add it again using Add Bluetooth or other device

    Still no casting actually takes place

    Action center->connect shows the TV
