Using web video cast app watch movie in android phone on android tv
How can you do this?
Way 1- pendrive:
Buy a pen drive and a otg cable. Transfer the movie from android phone to pen drive. Insert the pendrive in android tv's usb port. In android tv's playstore download vlc media player or MX player. Now open vlc media player or MX player on android tv. Watch the movie(with subtitles) on android tv from the inserted pendrive on that android tv. Also you can use other options available in those video player apps.
Way 2- screen mirroring:
Via screen mirroring method(casting) available in android phone you can cast the movie playing on android phone's screen on android tv's screen. 2 drawbacks are present in this casting method.
Drawback One:
You cannot do other works in android phone while the movie video is casting on android tv from android phone. If you do only what you do in android phone will be cast on android tv. So, movie which is playing will be interrupted.
Drawback two:
Even if the movie is in 720p or in 1080p in android phone the video casting on android tv will have low pixel. It will not have clarity.
So, don't use screen mirroring method.
