Play supported video on an AirPlay or Chromecast TV

查看發送、接收和連接

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.

打開電視上玩

1. Start the intended video in Odyssey.
2. 顯示播放器控制器,並在可用時選擇電視活動。
3. 到 玩在電視上,選擇您的接收者支持的路線。
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. 選擇 準備 AirPlay.
2. Wait for preparation. Playback stays on the sending device until the TV connection is established.
3. 使用 Choose AirPlay TV 當它出現時,並選擇所意圖的接收者。
4. 確認接收屏幕在離開控制器之前有圖像和聲音。

如果所選擇的下載字幕無法與此來源編寫,則表可以提供 AirPlay 無下載字幕. 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 Play on connected Chromecast.

On the Mac Catalyst route, select Chromecast · Open 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.

控制播放和返回

While the remote route is active, Odyssey presents 播放在你的電視 · 控制. Open it to see the current state. Supported non-browser routes include playback and seek controls. Choose 回到這個設備 回來玩回來。

Chrome 使用 Return to Odyssey. The sheet's 完成 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.

將夜晚電影轉到電視上

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.

如果電視不顯示或播放失敗

• 沒有接收: check receiver power, network membership and Local Network permission. Guest networks can isolate devices even when their Wi-Fi names look similar.
• 準備失敗: keep the error wording and identify the source route. Some formats cannot be prepared for the selected receiver.
• 圖片沒有下載的字幕: check whether you chose the subtitle-free AirPlay option, then consider an embedded track.
• 播放停止,當發送器關閉時: 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.
