    I have to eat my words. I don't know what happened since this comment, but it works perfectly now! I can find my TV every time. It only takes a few seconds to find it. No interruptions during the movie or show to include advertisements! The best streaming for my Phillips smart TV. I changed from 3 stars to 5. Somehow the kinks are all worked out! So happy now! Thank you.

    Be careful when trying to play something on Google Drive as the app will ask for access to your contacts. If you refuse that, it will be stuck in a loop where you end up with a blank page. Pressing 'back' just takes you back to the home screen briefly before returning to the blank page. The app won't work properly after this. Closing the app forcefully doesn't solve the issue. However, the app is good for casting the formats supported by Chromecast.

    There was this app that was really popular for casting, but things have gone downhill lately. The developer doesn't put effort into the app anymore and cares more about making money from ads than improving it. Many bugs are piling up because they're not fixing them. It would be better if they made the app open-source since they don't have time for it. I've moved on to another app called "Web Video Caster" which has a lot more features and is better supported right now.
