Casting

Using "Screen Mirroring" or "Cast" from a Mobile Device to a Smart TV

Important Viewer Note: The casting methods below are not officially supported nor is our service optimized to use them, but they may work for playing videos on a larger screen. We are unable to troubleshoot connectivity issues between your device and TV - please use them at your own discretion.

Video playback isn't working - black screen

This can happen when the live stream venue has internet issues or has not yet started the broadcast. The scheduled start times listed on the website are a best estimate of when the event will begin. Delays can occur for a variety of reasons - for example, a previous game running into overtime or a competition being behind schedule. In those cases, the next scheduled stream will begin later than expected.

Pay attention to any red banner notices that may appear at the top of the video player page. These banners will include important updates from the event organizer about delays or technical issues.

If the event has not started, or if the stream appears to have been disconnected, try refreshing the page after a few minutes to check for updates and reconnect to the stream.

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Smart TVs’ built-in web browsers are not supported.
    For best results, cast from a mobile device or use an HDMI cable to connect a computer to your TV.
  2. Check your internet speed.
    We recommend at least 10 Mbps for smooth playback.
    Test your speed here: Speed Test
  3. Supported Devices:
    • Mobile: iPad, iPhone, Android (released within the last 4-5 years).
    • Desktop/Laptop: Windows PC, MacBook, Mac Desktop.

    Older devices may still work but are not guaranteed to provide a smooth experience.

  4. Use a supported browser:
    • Google Chrome
    • Firefox
    • Windows - Microsoft Edge
    • Mac/iOS - Safari
  5. Disable ad-blockers or extensions that might interfere with playback.
  6. Perform a hard refresh:
    Windows: Ctrl + F5 | Mac: Cmd + Shift + R
  7. Close all browser windows, relaunch, and try again.
  8. Clear your browser cache: Instructions Here
  9. If issues persist, it may be a problem at the live stream venue - try again later.

Slow or buffering video

Streaming issues can result from slow Wi-Fi, network congestion, or interference.

Recommended Fixes:

  • Move your router to a central location in your home.
  • Place the router on an elevated surface (e.g., a desk or bookshelf).
  • Reduce clutter around the router to improve the signal.
