On my Samsung s7 whenever I wanted to share a video from my gallery to my TV, I just clicked "share" and it would search for near by devices and find my smart TV. On the mate Pro it doesn't seem to search for nearby smart TV's and only let's you share to apps like WhatsApp etc. Is there a way to do this from the gallery?
Anyone?

Hello, I seen on other devices like HTC its possible to view pictures and videos in the default app, and then just choose and DLNA player instead of.
It seems like one must go trough the AllShare app.
Is there any other way? Settings or start using other Apps as default?
It would also be great if one could send videos playing in the browser to a DLNA device.

Its not screen mirroring he's talking about. From what he explains from he's post he can only watch movies, listen to music and watch pictures from sony's apps.. What that explains to me is that he's utilizing the throw function, not screen mirroring witch is making any DLNA certified device into a network player.
Screen mirroring is basicly the same as connecting the tablet to a monitor with HDMI. Showing a mirror image from the tablet (Hence the name "Screen Mirroring") except it sends the signal through the wireless network and to the tv instead.
I can do the same as the OP can through dlna (throw fuction), but screen mirroring is, for me, only viable through a MHL adapter since my tv is an LG tv.
But in case you need to know how I use throw, then here's how I do it. (Its quite easy):
Under settings, got into Xperia.
Tap throw settings.
Tap Throw to choose your desired output (Ie. TV, PC etc. Must be DLNA compatible)
Tap "Add new device"
Tap ok and wait for the device to search your network and lookup your desired device.
Choose your device from the list.
Once the device is added you can tap throw again to make it active.
Enjoy your videos etc on your tv.
Once you have set this up you can enable or disable throw whenever you want from within the apps (Album, Movies, Walkman)

I had this question on g3 section but no reply came. Trying my luck here.....
Need help to understand. What tech is used to cast from browser e.g. any video embeded, to smart tv. I guess it is dlna. I was able to do that on 5.0 however since the update (G3 D855) to 6.0 browser does not show this option anymore. I can still dlna youtube, any media on my harddisk by using smart share or bubble unp etc. Even soundcloud is working.....just the browser embeded videos are no more working.
Hi - I use Google Photos as my main photo library with my family. I share with them multiple albums allowing them to add photos into it.
The only app that works for me to browse all added photos in albums is Google Photo app - unfortunately it does not work on Android TV. I know I can chromecast it but why should i do it if I have Android TV?
I have managed to install Google Photo app myself but it does not work well - or even at all, cannot be controlled using remote
Any suggestions? Thanks
It works now with Google Assistant. You can't really browse, but tell it to "show pictures from xxx" and it will. You can also cast from photos on a phone.
download the Google Photo app .apk file from a mirror, and install it via a file manager. You'll also need a sideload launcher app to use apps that don't show on the main screen.
I use this. even got the paid version i was that good and only option as of now i think
