Pom Michael Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Assume your on the same wifi router (same SSID)? https://9to5mac.com/2014/02/09/how-to-setup-and-use-chromecast-to-stream-your-content-from-a-mac-and-ios-device/ http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/cast-local-media-mac-chromecast/ disclaimer - I have neither a chromecast nor a MacBook. So why I'm replying I have no idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Sounds like a Conflict between IOS and MACOS Disconnect your IOS device first then try with MACOS (why not get Apple TV you tight arse) haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bust Posted February 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Main reason I got it was because I got tired of downloading torrents and when I would copy them to a flash drive and try and play on the TV through the USB port they were an unreadable file.. They would play fine on the desktop so thought it a simple solution. How wrong I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Prolly the files that play well on Mac are .mkv or .mp4 or other that your TV don't recognise - Should be able to google what type pf files your TV can read, then get those types or convert the existing files on your mac before TV use.

My Penis is hungry Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 VLC is very good at converting file formats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baa99 Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 I use ffmpeg to convert files. Setup one of your computers as a DLNA server, then you won't have to copy files to a USB drive. I use Serviio for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
