Possible causes and solutions to problems (see the project wiki for more details)
1. Application crashes
It is most likely caused by the port number occupied by Hyper-V in Windows. It is recommended to modify the port number range occupied by Hyper-V or modify the startup port number of this application (Macast configuration file location)
2. Unable to search for Macast - blocked by computer firewall
The mobile phone tries to access http://computer ip:1068, such as: 192.168.1.123:1068. If the words helloworld and other words appear, troubleshoot the problem.
For the specific port number, see the first item in the application menu settings. If not, it will be the default 1068.
3. Unable to search for Macast - router problem
The router needs to enable UPnP, turn off ap isolation, and confirm that the firmware is normal (some openwrt may have problems)
4. Unable to search for Macast - there is a problem with the mobile software
You can try restarting the software or changing the software, or try testing with other screen-casting receiver TVs. Wait a little longer on the search page (up to 1 minute. If you can't find it, it's probably another problem). If the operating system is IOS, be sure to open the software. local network discovery permissions
5. Unable to search for Macast - network problem
Please make sure that the mobile phone and the computer are in the same network segment. For example, the computer is connected to the optical modem network cable, and the mobile phone is connected to the router WiFi. In this case, they are most likely not in the same network segment. You can check whether the IP prefixes of the mobile phone and the computer are the same.
6. Unable to search for Macast - other unknown issues
Try casting to TV on your mobile phone in the same LAN. If you can cast normally, it means the problem is still on the computer. Continue to check for computer problems or see how to report a bug.
