Using T8-S plus V2 Box as a Chromecast Receiver

[kdhuk]

Hi All ,
Just joined the community as a new T8-S plus V2 owner and have things set up nicely . I already have a chromecast attached to my TV and was hoping to use my DroidBOX as a replacement so I could use the chromecast on another TV. Disappointingly the DroidBOX is only showing up as receiver on the YouTube app on my Marshmallow Android phone. On other phone apps eg NowTV,BTSport etc there's nothing apart from the existing chromecast. I have the DroidBOX connected by ethernet on the same home network as the phone. Any ideas as to why?

Play around with the droidbox share app (you'll need to download the client on your phone from google play) and see if it does anything useful for you.
