Turn your phone into a remote control, and stream free movies and TV shows to your TV with Video Browser App.
The days of connecting your laptop to your TV to watch a movie or TV show are over, although I wouldn’t be surprised if some people still do it just because it’s easy.
What if I told you, that it’s entirely possible to do this with your phone?!
And it’s just as easy as plugging your laptop to the TV if not easier, all you need is a smart TV, a smartphone, and Wi-Fi.
This will work on iOS and Android, Samsung and LG Smart TV’s, one quick note though, in order for this to work correctly both phone and TV needs to support the video you play, for example, I know iPhone supports MP4 videos and so does my LG-TV, so this will work if I stream MP4 video.
Let’s get started.
- Make sure your TV is on, connected to the internet and is on the same network as your phone.
- On your phone download the LG or Samsung Video Browser
- Upon loading the app you will be presented with YouTube source, you can swipe to change sources.
4.On the address bar if you know of a site you use to watch online content give it a try, but if you’re like me, and your using an iPhone, number one, the video player needs to be HTML5 and two, the video needs to be in MP4 format, in which case I have created a list of links that I have found work great, in this case let’s use vumoo.li.
5.Select a movie or TV show.(You might get popups, in which case just hit the back button and try again.)
6.Scroll down and hit play, and select the second server from the list under the video player(Server OpenLoad)
7.Hit the play button above and the app will go into a countdown and your TV will display the apps loading page, once the countdown is complete the video will begin playing.
Here is a list of sites I put together that I have tested with this app.
Have any questions or concerns, leave a comment below.
Can you tell us more about this? I’d want to find out more details.
This post was written for LG or Samsung smart TVs, basically from your phone or tablet using the Video Browser app you can send the video to your tv.
