wifi direct from iphone to LG smart TV

Why would Apple support Miracast? They have their own technology. Its not like Bluetooth where there is a consortium.

Apple has a standard for wireless streaming... LG TVs do not have that technology built in.

Would you also have said... "My Sony Betamax player should let me play VHS tapes..."

Airplay can be licensed. You can add Airplay via an app to a Windows or macOS computer. Note the TM symbol next to Airplay.

This company licensed the Airplay technology and sell it. LG could do the same. With this app you could Airplay to a Mac or a Windows PC, but not your LG TV.

I just installed the free Video & TV Cast app (Video & TV Cast | Chromecast on the App Store) on my iPhone 6s and an LG Smart TV — it works perfectly! Granted there are in-app purchases which might end up being a hassle, but on first video play, it's working great!

I do not understand why apple does not allow its devices to mirror or simply send files to other computers and cell phones over Bluetooth, it's simply a way to force people to buy their equipment, I call it (monopoly).

Out of curiosity, has this bug been solved? I'm not sure what an air play is bit o could stream from my windows phone and Android phone to my LG tv. Can't seem to do this on my Iphone?

Don't tell me i need something proprietary like AppleTalk.

A. Not a bug.

B. Why ask questions you don't want answers too?

Unless your LG TV accepts an Apple Airplay stream, you can't stream to it. Not a bug. A limitation of your LG TV.

LG can license the Airplay technology if they choose and provide that to you. They have only aligned with the Android way of streaming audio and video.

It would seem like a bug if both my Windows phones and Android phones support the Miracast standard but Apple does not.

Kind of reminds me of the issues I had trying to connect my Macintosh to a network. I ended up needing an AppleTalk card.

Is there a feedback forum to ask for support for a standard? I wouldn't want to force LG to use a proprietary Apple technology.

I am defensive as you are unwilling to accept the truth.

A bug is unexpected behaviour. An oops. Something that goes on a list to be addressed.

it is entirely expected that LG TVs do not have the ability to accept an Airplay stream.

IMO, asking for a feature is not the same as reporting a bug.

It is still a bug.

Whatever.

Your really kind of rude it's obviously a bug because it's causing a nuisance to this man as well as others, he came here for help as I have and to see u sort of bashing him for saying it's a bug is mean. If your not here to help then don't answer that's just my opin

Ha, no worries for me. I'm used to the Apple fanbois. Have been dealing with them since the late '90s. (I actually still have my Apple IIe and my Mac SE/30 but never use them.) I also used to be on Usenet and IRC, so have a very thick skin.

I'll try the Imediashare application.

Odd that this forum requires two-factor authentication every time. it is a forum, after all.

Hi All - this issue looks like it will never be resolved based on apple's 'product ecosystem' - please see the link to LG's site that describes the situation: http://www.lg.com/uk/support/solutions/tv/smartshare-screen-share

There is an app for that on the App Store: Mirror for LG TV.

You can download it here: http://bit.ly/iOS-LGTV

To mirror video as well as audio, please make sure that you start mirroring when you are in the app (Photos, YouTube, Facebook etc.) that you want to mirror to your TV.

I just spent thousands on new televisions. LG doesn’t support airplay. Apple doesn’t support an app for LG. Or vice versa. Spectrum my cable provider has an app for Samsung but it doesn’t seem for any other television line. The web browser on the LG television can’t access spectrum television from their webOS.

What it boils down to is competing networks of giant corporate conglomerates more concerned about capturing rather than captivating their customers, and working at cross purposes with the result that users are being frustrated.

You would think with this big shift towards entertainment on the Internet this industry would get together and propose some common standards for interoperability to solve these relatively simple issues. I guess they’d rather pump all their money into figuring out how to cement us into their domains than make it easy for us to join OUR selected entertainment devices together in a cooperative network in our homes.

Right now I’m simply hating LG, Spectrum, and Apple all at once and regret having to give any of them one single more dollar.

I own Roku devices, fire devices, chromecast and Apple TV. I don’t want to have to buy a casting device for every TV simply to access the local TV cable company.

I do like the Apple TV pretty well the best out of all of them for its elegance of operation and the remote. I’m not sure it’s worth the $100 to $130 premium over other devices.

I guess right now the entire industry feels they need to focus on their stockholders rather than the 100s of millions of consumers who support these enterprises.

Check with LG and see if their smart TV is AirPlay compatible.

If the LG TV support Airplay and is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iPhone, an Airplay icon will appear in the Control Center.

Swipe up from the very bottom of the screen on your iPhone and look for the Airplay icon. It's a rectangle with a triangle at the bottom.
