    The perpetual "Cast to Device" feature


    Hi Guys,

    First time poster here. I have a WD NAS which stores my music files. I have recently purchased a Denon receiver and I can successfully cast songs to it. However I notice that the "cast" option appears in the right-click menu only when I am at the file level. This is ok for movie files cast to my TV but music needs to be cast on the album level. I mean who wants to cast song after song. I also see that the native "cast" app does not allow additional files to be added which is doubly useless.

    Does anyone know 1) if I can cast at the folder level and 2) if there is another SIMPLE The perpetual "Cast to Device" feature :) way to accomplish this.

    Thanks

    :)

  2. Cast to device from edge not working

    I've been watching this thread and the suggested help is obtuse. Microsoft Edge:
    Cast media to device
    feature can not locate his Miracast device.

    The error is that the device doesn't appear on the selection list.

    windows 10 cast to device

    Hi Steven,

    • Do you get any error message when you try to cast the device?
    • Does the issue happen when you don't use cast to device, I mean when you are online?
    • Which device do you use to cast the content?
    If the issue happens only when you cast the device, the issue can be that of the casting device. In that case I would request you to execute the Hardware and devices troubleshooter.

    Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with the Bluetooth adapter. Refer these steps:


    • Press Windows key +X, select
      Control panel.


    • Change the view by option on the top right to
      Large icons.

    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the
      view all option on the left panel.

    • Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter.

    • Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.



      Hope this information is helpful. Thank you.

    Cast to device not working in Windows 10 after upgrade from 8.1

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Please confirm a couple of things:

    • Are you using Edge browser to cast the videos?
    • Is it specific to Edge browser?
    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.
