With the birth of Smart TV, everyone wishes to enjoy the benefit of casting their media files without the need of a flash drive or wires.
There are a lot of third party platforms that offer this feature like AppleTV and Chromecast. However, none of them are able to complete the mirroring process efficiently as the casted video often ends up choppy, or sluggish.
This is where Plex comes in and it took a streaming like approach to ensure smoothness when casting a video from a mobile device to the TV. The app basically converts the video to a common supported format first before transmitting to the Smart TV. The best part is, Plex has added support for AppleTV and Chromecast as well.
On the downside of things, using Plex comes with a cost. The app can be found on Google Play Store and Apple App Store for £2.92 and £2.99 respectively. Then again, creating an account is free of charge. Also, the Smart TV will also need to have a Plex app installed.
Upon logging in, upload your media content to Plex. Then, configure the output quality before selecting the TV you wish to stream the content to. It is that simple. If there is one simple way to broadcast your mobile content on your living room, it is through Plex.
