Casting to DLNA TV problem

My TV supports DLNA, somehow. There is no option related to DLNA in TV though it supports. But after connecting it to modem, if I right click a video on Windows and choose "Cast to Device" my TV starts playing that video immediately.

I tried to stream a video to TV with VLC too but i failed.

I followed some video instructions for Twitch in Serviio, but they are using browsing features of TV which I dont have. Now what should I follow to watch Twitch streams from my TV. I couldn't find something from internet.

Windows Cast to Device shows like that. VESTEL is local TV producer here. ACCESS CO. is probably DLNA provider of TV as I learned from internet.

You need to put a link to the stream in the serviio library:

My problem is not Twitch stream cast.

Problem is nothing cast to my TV except Windows Cast to Device thing.

In my TV, I cannot browse DLNA content or switch something to that like HDMI or VGA etc. If I use Cast to Device from Windows, TV just opens the video instantly.

My understanding is that the "Cast to Device" functionality uses one of a number of protocols - DLNA, Miracast, and possibly others. So, just because casting works, doesn't mean DLNA is supported.

Look for options under your "Media Player" / "Media Pilot" or similar - you need to see the Serviio icon/server. Sorry can't be more helpful without the TV or manual.
