TV’s and Netflix in Villa’s

[DeeCee735]

Hi

We are at VGF….three adults in a one bedroom. I figured out how to mirror my Netflix onto the tv from my iPhone but it is only working on the living room tv. It won’t work on the bedroom tv. I even had one of the staff come in to reset the comcast connection on it. Anyone experience this, where it works on one but not the other?

TIA
Dee

We've had issues mirroring for years. Even when we could get it to work the sound was on a delay vs the picture and was hard to watch. Finally bought a $25 Roku and bring that everytime we go now

We had issues at CC in January with the new smart TVs - mirroring just would not work at all from iPhone, iPad or MacBook. We also attempted to use our fire stick but the TV seemed to be set up to prohibit the fire stick. We were so busy with marathon weekend that we didn’t have time to have management help out

Had same issue last summer with a 2BR Riviera. The casting would not work on either on the bedrooms, only the living room. Also, could not get my Fire stick to work in the master.

Thanks. We are just going to watch from the living room….thats if we can stay awake after the park day!

We couldn't get it to work on either TV in our VGC 1 bedroom last week.

It works well and easy in LR

I know it's not the same necessarily as your use case (cast from iphone) but if you have a roku or similar device you can override the new smart TVs in the rooms using info from this post.

Maybe there's a native option on the TV itself that would allow you to cast to it from the phone after temporarily disconnect the WDW smart system.

Mirroring doesn't work very well there in my experience, so I've been bringing a FireStick. Haven't had any problems getting it to work with the TVs, including 2 weeks ago when staying at Saratoga - I noticed they changed their TV services and menus at some resorts and the new system was difficult to figure out. But after some fiddling around, I managed to get it to work by unplugging their device and just plugging in my Firestick to the HDMI as the only source - the TV finds it and allows it to play - the downside was that the remote no longer controls the volume, so I had to set that on the TV..
