Brizzol Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 Isn't available through a smart TV or mobile as far as I'm aware. I use a hdmi cable from the laptop to the back of the TV to watch it only the big screen though. Works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyderInACan Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 Use a chrome cast off your browser or a casting app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can use a streaming app like plex perfectly on the telly over Wi-fi but never found a casting one that stands up to live transmission on a telly properly. I take it you use chrome cast? I have a PS4, a fire stick and a semi reasonable Mac Pro laptop (no hdmi port though). Now TV works like a dream though through the PS4. And a Smart TV is just balls as they never update the software after a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveF Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Fingers crossed it’ll work on smart TVs and phones next season, would be a huge step in the right direction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry - didn't realise you meant live broadcast - I cast the interviews and hilights to the tv just fine but don't have a subscription to the live stuff (based in the UK in BS3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Rich Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 I chromecast mine to the TV with no problems at all, no delay and picture is perfect. I do have excellent internet connection though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notbarrymanc Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 They need to sort quite a few things imo: Multiplatform streaming Mobile streaming A bcfc app Commentary on bcfc tv More of the studio type stuff we saw earlier in the season The club is slowly emerging into the 21st century, it would be nice if the IT side of things could follow suit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they've done a great job for overseas supporters. I would imagine that the club is losing money on its video/streaming output at present.

EstoniaTallinnRed Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 I used to use a Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter for sending the picture to my Smart TV, it was OK when I first had it, but now what ever I do, it will not connect. A waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leadman Posted December 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 yeah, vizio and LG tv owners don't have an issue, I went on the Samsung website and there are 100s of pages of complaints about there browser, they stopped responding to the complaints after page 10, :laugh:, they have not upgraded there browser since 2011.

It’s not just streaming, it’s the whole media package, which leaves a lot to be desired. They had a working app, but took it down and didn’t replace it. People have offered to help with commentary but have been ignored. Streaming on a mobile should be very easy to establish. All simple things that should have been sorted 6 months ago.
