Cast video from Google Cast-enabled apps to your TV—BJCast
BJCast is a screen casting protocol developed by Suzhou Bijie Networks Co., Ltd. It allows users to cast content from their mobile devices or computers to a larger screen, such as a TV, using a wireless connection. If you want to cast video from Google Cast-enabled apps to your TV using BJCast, you need to ensure that both your mobile device and TV are compatible with BJCast and follow these general steps:
Preparation
Ensure Compatibility: Check if your TV supports BJCast or if you need an external device like a BJCast-enabled dongle or a multimedia collaboration system.
Download BJCast App: On your mobile device, download the BJCast app from the Google Play or the Bijie Networks website.
Connect to the Same Wi-Fi Network: Ensure that your mobile device and TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Casting Steps
Open the BJCast App: Launch the BJCast app on your mobile device.
Select the Casting Device: In the app, select your TV or the BJCast-enabled device as the casting target.
Start Casting: Once connected, you should see an option to start casting. Select the video you want to cast from a Google Cast-enabled app (e.g., YouTube, Netflix, etc.) and it should appear on your TV.
Additional Notes
Google Cast Apps: While BJCast itself is not directly tied to Google Cast, if your TV or casting device supports both BJCast and Google Cast, you may be able to cast content from Google Cast-enabled apps to your TV using BJCast as the underlying protocol. However, this depends on the compatibility and settings of your devices.
Casting Modes: BJCast typically supports both mirror casting (where your mobile device’s screen is mirrored on the TV) and specific app casting (where only the content from a particular app is cast). Ensure you select the appropriate mode for your needs.
Software Updates: Regularly update the BJCast app and any related software on your TV or casting device to ensure compatibility and performance.
Troubleshooting
Connection Issues: If you encounter difficulties connecting, check your Wi-Fi connection, restart both devices, and ensure that BJCast is properly set up on your TV.
App Compatibility: Ensure that the Google Cast-enabled app you are trying to cast from is compatible with BJCast. Some apps may have restrictions on which casting protocols they support.
By following these steps, you should be able to cast video from Google Cast-enabled apps to your TV using BJCast. However, please note that specific steps may vary depending on the devices and software versions you are using. Always refer to the official documentation or support resources for your devices for the most accurate information.
