Cannot cast from Windows 10 to Anyview cast Smart TV

Anonymous

I'm attempting to project to a second display onto a Smart TV supporting Anyview Cast (Hisense Smart TV). I've attempted this with two different Windows 10 laptops, both using the Project to second screen > Connect to a wireless display options.

In both cases, it attempts to connect for a while, and then nothing happens. One laptop also states "Couldn't connect" in yellow (with no further diagnostic information).

I believe it is the same issue raised in several other posts:

i was able to do it with the below steps.

On win 10 --> 

"Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network and Sharing Center" --> Change advanced sharing settings - Turn on File and Printer sharing 

On Hi -Sense TV - > Home, Input -> Anywhere cast -> It will wait for the device to connect

Back to PC -> Settings - Devices - Add Bluetooth and other devices -> wireless display or Dock

Smart TV would appear there and you should be able to connect.

I use it as my second display and extend my display to the TV when working from home.

SOLVED !!!!

after much faffing and playing with drivers and doing everything under the sun which didnt work......By flook i got it working. 

Turn hisense on ( not in anyview cast mode !!! ) on laptop Go to the add devices and printers section. Remove the little tv icon/ device if its there and then re-add the device .... BUT !!! AND THIS IS WHAT MADE IT WORK , WHEN YOU RE ADD IT DONT ADD IT BACK AS THE TV ICON !!!!! IT NEEDS TO BE ADDED BACK AS A PC/SVR/MEDIA BOX TYPE ICON!!!!  Which will show in the row below where the tv icons are/were.  

I then went to my movies and said cast, it found my hisense smarttv ( the first movie i chose format didnt work, but the 2nd one i chose, clicked cast and play in the little window that came up and true as nuts it played ) 

hope i am making sense here

    Hello,

    1. No, the TV is new (I have never connected to a Smart TV via these laptops)
    2. Windows 10 Pro Version 1703 OS Build 15063.786
    3. No, the device is not discovered through this option (it is via the method outlined in my OP)
    4. I've gone to device manager and scanned for updates for drivers (but there were none)

    Thanks

    I have this problem however if you use Micosoft Edge you can cast to your tv with no problem. Or at least I can. Hope this helps.

    I have the same problem.  I can make my phone connect to my tv but not my laptop.  First time trying this and I have no other TV to try on.  It recognizes the TV just will not connect to it.  Says it is connecting but never does.  Sharp TV using Anyview Cast and Windows 10 Home.

     

    Same problem with my hisense tv....My windows 10 laptop, windows 10 phone and android phone all connect to an LG tv.... Both phones connect to the hisense tv but my windows 10 laptop(hp) will not connect.
