*Castify does not modify or transcode the video sources. It only sends original source to your streaming receivers, unlike a screen mirroring app. Therefore the compatibility of the videos are dependent on your device.

-If a video is not playing or a disconnection occurs, it could be several reasons:

1. The ISP(Internet Server Provider)

2. The source website itself

3. Insufficient WIFI signal strength

Troubleshooting:

-Ensure your WIFI connection is stable and on the same network. Casting to TV requires a good internet connection.

-Most connection problems can be resolved by restarting the streaming receiver and phone/tablet.

-Some video sources are time-based, meaning they only work for a period of time. For example, resume watching a video hours later may not work.

-Open the url in the System Browser to ensure the source and site is working properly there.

-Flash websites are not supported by streaming device manufacturers.
