By default, selecting the Live TV option from the Program Guide will prompt the user to download a file with the extension. On Windows 10, Casting is the simplest and most reliable choice for playing multimedia files from PC to any TV.When multicasting is in use with SnapStream, Live TV sessions will play back in VLC. Once a TV is successfully linked to a PC, the TV-name gets registered in the Devices list under Windows Settings and the TV-name will be readily available thereafter in the Cast to Device menu.

You can use the PC for other work by minimising the Cast Window while the media continue to play on the TV. Select the TV name on the shortcut menu and the media will automatically start playing on the TV, with the Cast Window for media control appearing on the PC. It may take some time for the PC to search for the TV on the network before displaying its name on the shortcut menu. To play a video, Open File Explorer on the PC, right click on the video file and from the shortcut menu choose Cast to Device > Smart TV (name). As with any operating system, a network once created on a Smart TV, persists as the default network until a new network is created. Just as networking needs to be configured on the PC, similarly networking has to be configured on the Smart TV through the Settings menu, to either establish a peer-to-peer direct communication path Or inter-connect by hooking up to a common access point. The Cast setup requires that (i) the PC and the Smart TV are connected to the same Home WiFi network (ii) Network discovery And File sharing are enabled on your currently active network profile (Private / Public) through Control Panel > Networking and Sharing Centre > Change advanced sharing settings (on left panel). The audio system of the TV can either be built-in or externally connected to a Hi-fi system. However file formats supported for casting are limited to MP4, WMV, AVI, MOV for video and MP3, WMA, WAV for audio. CAST: Cast is the easiest method to play a multimedia from a PC on to a Smart TV called Smart as they have an Operating System.
