Great if it works, sadly it does so very unreliably (Sony Bra via 7). Generally some combination of force stopping the app, clearing cache or restarting the TV and/or casting device gets it to work again, but that's just annoying.

The most awful APK. It doesn't even get connected with TV for casting the screen. nowadays, it always shows that my TV is not compatible to cast the display. Kindly fix this problem.
