I have Samsung UE40J5200AW and it has that screen mirroring feature. Whenever I try to use to cast from Windows 11 to this TV, the stream stops after few mins of playing.
I have no idea if Samsung doesnt allow to play full screen videos from casting devices or not. I have tried to connect both PC and TV via Ethernet and see if it will help, but its happening all the time.
Whats interesting it also happens when I cast via my lineage os phone and I checked it on different TV and had the same issue.
Whats your ways to cast videos from PC/laptop to TV?
I’d suggest figuring out the Windows casting issue. My TV is hardwired to the network, so maybe that helps.
Here’s a script for a mode switcher. Works great using psexe to wrap it in an executable.
code block
Do { CLS $Mode = Read-Host “
rn(W)ork, (P)lay, (M)ovie?” } until ( ‘w’, ‘p’, ‘m’ -contains $Mode)if ($Mode -eq “w”){
Work Mode
displayswitch.exe /extend
Display taskbar and restart Explorer
$p=‘HKCU:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects3’;$v=(Get-ItemProperty -Path $p).Settings;$v[8]=2;&Set-ItemProperty -Path $p -Name Settings -Value $v;&Stop-Process -f -ProcessName explorer }
if ($Mode -eq “p”){
Play Mode
displayswitch.exe /external
Display taskbar and restart Explorer
$p=‘HKCU:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects3’;$v=(Get-ItemProperty -Path $p).Settings;$v[8]=2;&Set-ItemProperty -Path $p -Name Settings -Value $v;&Stop-Process -f -ProcessName explorer }
if ($Mode -eq “m”){
Movie Mode
displayswitch.exe /internal #Hide taskbar and restart Explorer $p=‘HKCU:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects3’;$v=(Get-ItemProperty -Path $p).Settings;$v[8]=3;&Set-ItemProperty -Path $p -Name Settings -Value $v;&Stop-Process -f -ProcessName explorer }
