Play supported video on an AirPlay or Chromecast TV

Vérifier le remetteur, le reçu et la connexion

Casting asks another device to play the video you selected in Odyssey. The receiving television or Chromecast must be able to reach the prepared stream and handle its format. A video working on your phone does not prove that the receiver can play it.

The verified sender implementation covers iPhone and iPad, plus the Mac Catalyst app. It does not establish an Apple TV sender flow. Keep the sending device and receiver on a network where they can discover and reach each other, and allow Local Network access when the system requests it.

You still need authorised access to the source. Casting does not add content rights or make a private server reachable outside its network.

Jouer sur une TV

1. Start the intended video in Odyssey.
2. Afficher les contrôles de joueur et sélectionner l'action TV quand elle est disponible.
3. dans Jouer sur une TVChoisissez la route soutenue pour votre récepteur.
4. Keep Odyssey open while preparing and establishing the connection. Some sources depend on a local connection supplied by the sending device.

If the TV action is not available for the current playback session, this guide does not imply there is a hidden universal casting switch. Try a supported source or continue watching locally.

Connect through AirPlay

1. Choisir Préparer AirPlay.
2. Wait for preparation. Playback stays on the sending device until the TV connection is established.
3. Utiliser Choose AirPlay TV Lorsqu’il apparaît et choisissez le destinataire.
4. Confirmez que l’écran recevant a l’image et le son avant de quitter les contrôles.

Si le sous-titre téléchargé sélectionné ne peut pas être préparé avec cette source, la feuille peut offrir AirPlay sans sous-titres téléchargés. Choosing it deliberately omits that separate subtitle file. The implementation requires an HLS source for this downloaded-subtitle route; HLS is a segmented streaming format, not a quality rating.

Connect through Chromecast

On iPhone and iPad builds with the Chromecast integration, use the Chromecast device control. If a Cast session is already connected, the sheet can show Jouer sur Chromecast connecté.

On the Mac Catalyst route, select Chromecast ouvert Chrome. In the page that opens, choose your TV with the Cast button. Keep both Odyssey and that browser window open. The browser route uses its own playback controls; it should not be described as the same native picker shown on a phone.

Contrôle de la reprise et du retour

While the remote route is active, Odyssey presents Jouer sur votre téléviseur · Contrôles. Open it to see the current state. Supported non-browser routes include playback and seek controls. Choose Retour à ce dispositif Retourner le playback.

La page Chrome utilise Return to Odyssey. The sheet's Terminer button closes the controls; it is not the same action as returning playback. Use the explicit return control when you intend to stop the remote session.

Mettre un film de soirée à la télévision

You begin a film on an iPad, then decide to use the living-room AirPlay TV. Open Play on a TV, prepare AirPlay and select that television. Once the TV picture appears, leave Odyssey open. Later, use Return to this device to continue on the iPad.

If the connection fails before the receiver starts, read the preparation message and check the local video still plays. This separates receiver preparation from an unavailable source without claiming that either layer is automatically repaired.

Si la télévision ne apparaît pas ou si le playback échoue

• Pas de récepteur : check receiver power, network membership and Local Network permission. Guest networks can isolate devices even when their Wi-Fi names look similar.
• La préparation échoue : keep the error wording and identify the source route. Some formats cannot be prepared for the selected receiver.
• Images sans sous-titres téléchargés : check whether you chose the subtitle-free AirPlay option, then consider an embedded track.
• Le jeu se décline lorsque le courrier se ferme : reopen the sender and establish the route again. Keep Odyssey and the required browser page open for local relay routes.

Is casting a Watch Party? No. Casting sends your playback to a receiver. Watch Party coordinates supported shared viewing and has its own entry points and requirements.
