Damn it's good! Spent 3 hours looking for decent and powerful yet beautiful caster with DIRECT casting feature (so, no servers, ip:port settings, DLNA/UPnP web-interfaces & all the good things you hate, when all you need is just a bloody file streamer for a bloody smart tv...). So, to whom it may concern, stop searching & use this app. It's gnikcuf BRILLIANT!

Fantastic. I have a Samsung in my bedroom -- the Oka Mirror detected the TV immediately and started broadcasiing with the expected 3s delay. I highly recommend this app. Many thanks to the creator of this.

Not just for Smart TVs! My 55inch full 1080p LED 2D/3D 240hz thin bezel Samsung TV is apparently too old (and dumb) to be a full smart TV so I couldn't stream directly with my Mac Boook Pro. I do have a HDMI to thunderbolt adapter but have grown tired of having to fish out the adapter and set up my laptop on my home entertainment console. I gave my mother my first gen Apple TV since my Xbox One does mostly everything it does and then some so that free solution went out the window. After a few minutes of poking around the internet, Oka to the rescue! Xbox One is NLDA compatible so since they're both on the same network (and not using a VPN which Oka explicitly states which having that forsight is so incredibly clutch), it picked up instantly and I was good to go! Definately considering the premium version to reward a streamline solution to this gap in the market.

1. Restart your router. Just unplug it from the power supply, wait 30 seconds, then plug it back in.
2. Restart your device. Unplug it from the power supply for a full reboot. Please disconnect it from its power supply for at least 1 minute, then put it back in. Powering off your TV is NOT ENOUGH to do a full reboot.
3. Make sure that your Mac and the receiving device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, same router, and the same router channel. Some routers (dual band) have both a 2.4Ghz and a 5Ghz wireless network. So it’s important not to have your Mac on 5Ghz and the receiving device on 2.4Ghz or the other way around.
4. Use an AC or N router.New routers support Wi-Fi AC&N,where as old ones might only support Wi-Fi B and/or G. Wi-Fi B & G are not really up to modern networking tasks, so please use an AC or N router.
5. In many cases the firewall on your computer may prevent the devices from communicating. Apple has provided instructions for allowing applications through the firewall. Consult the information here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1810
6. With antivirus products, such as Norton, you may have to follow a similar process. It’s essential as antivirus apps often have their own firewalls and network traffic blockers. It’s easier to fully disable these apps while testing for connection, then re-enable and make adjustments later.
7. The firewall on your router may prevent communication.Check out that your router is configured properly. Most home networks don’t need any special configuration, but sometimes you may need to change a setting or two on your router to allow media streaming on your network.
8. If you are using VPN, the device also could not be detected, please turn off VPN.

your Mac will show a popup with the question to allow access to the Microphone. We are not actually using the microphone on your Mac, but we are taking the system audio of your Mac, to be sent to the TV. This is why you need to allow for Microphone access. If you have selected “Don’t Allow” in the past and audio is not being sent to TV, this is what you can do to fix that problem:
Go to System Preferences and select “Security & Privacy”.
Click on the tab Privacy, select Microphone and make sure the checkbox next to the screen mirroring app you are using is enabled.
