Set up Play on TVAdministrators

Send what you’re watching to an Android TV box (an NVIDIA Shield), with one tap in the player.

In Broadcast: Server, Watching, Play on TV.
In Classic or Neu: Settings, Extras, the Play on TV card.

1. First, on the TV box

   On the Android TV box: Settings, About, press Build seven times to turn on Developer options. Then in Developer options, turn on Network debugging (USB debugging on some boxes). Note the box’s address (Settings, Network); a fixed address for it in your router helps.

2. Play on TV

   Server, Watching, Play on TV in Broadcast; in Classic or Neu, it’s one of the cards on Settings, Extras.

3. The TV’s address and name

   Type the box’s address and a name (Living room TV), then Save.

4. Pair

   Press Pair, then allow the prompt that appears on the TV. Test it starts something on the box.

5. Play on TV is ready

   In the player, Play on Living room TV (your TV’s name) sends what you’re watching to the box, which plays it in VLC or opens it in Stremio.
