Castify does not modify, download, or transcode the video sources. It only sends the original source to your streaming receivers. The app does not hosts any content. Therefore the compatibility and availability of the videos are dependent on the source websites themselves.

-This app only casts from websites that uses public format. Proprietary video & movie formats such as Prime Video, Direct TV, Netflix, etc...will NOT cast to TV.

-If a video is not playing or a disconnection occurs, it could be several reasons:

1. The ISP(Internet Service Provider)

2. The source website itself

3. Insufficient WIFI signal strength

Troubleshooting:

-Ensure your WIFI connection is stable and on the same network. Streaming online movies to TV requires a good internet connection.

-Most connection problems can be resolved by restarting the Chromecast, Roku, or other receivers or phone.

-Flash movie websites are not supported by stream device manufacturers.
