Tab PRO 8.4 can no longer stream to Samsung Smart TV (UE46ES6710)

Hi all,
Thanks for taking the time out to help me.
I have a Samsung Tab PRO 8.4, and until recently it has been fine.
The problem with it is that for some reason, I cannot stream "live streams". These are things that the Tab PRO is streaming (such as youtube, other streaming apps etc) to my Samsung TV whereas before I could, however downloaded physical files, like movies that I have saved on my Tablet, can be streamed easily by pressing the button in the video app near the top (the button which has the square and a sideways wifi bar), whereas streamed files do not find the TV in "available devices:/
It's quite strange that i can't stream "live" things. When I try to stream youtube, the youtube app says, "There was a problem connecting to [TV]UE46ES6710."
Also, my Samsung S4 and S5 can stream youtube and other "live" streams easily, either using the youtube app, or the default samsung app and pressing the TV.
Please help, sorry if the above sounds confusing. I've tried to make it as plain as possible.
Thank you

I also have this tablet with a Samsung Smart TV.
On the device's YouTube app at upper right corner there is a button like a rectangle that when pressed streams the YouTube video from the tablet to the YouTube app on the Smart TV.
Does your TV have a YouTube app? Have you paired it with the device?
If so try clearing the data/cache from the YouTube app on the device and uninstall/reinstall the YouTube app on TV and pair them again.

Yes, I have factory reset both my TV and my tablet.
My Samsung S5 and S4 can stream youtube, or any other app by pressing the same rectangle button you are talking about, but the tab pro can only stream downloaded files, nothing "live" like YouTube.

So, are you saying that the "rectangle button" does not appear on the device's YouTube app or it is there and when you press it nothing happens?

The rectangle button does appear on YouTube and Samsung video player when I'm streaming something "live" but on the YouTube app it will say it will say error connecting to TV, and on the Samsung video app, it will search for devices but not find any, however if I play a file on my tab pro that is physically saved to it, click video player when choosing which app to use, then click the rectangle icon it will find my tv straight away and plays fine on my TV.

I think I got it but I doubt I can help. I never had an issue with YouTube streaming live content from my tablet on my Samsung Smart TV (UE32F4500) but I also quite frequently run into the problem of streaming from the Samsung Video Player (either "live" or stored content) with the same message you posted, that no device is found. A reboot of the TV or tablet solves it (for hours with no problem until I disconnect them where it might happen again next time).
Some routers have a UPNP option in their settings, that is supposed to make home media streaming better but others have found out that it interferes with their media streaming. My router has such an option and I have disabled it.
Check out if there is firmware update for your TV. I found that sometimes the newest firmware for my TV is available via the TV's update menu and other times the newest firmware is available on Samsung's website.

You might want to check it with Samsung support. They have a chat service on their site and the technical guy responded to me instantly and helped me (thought it was only a TV issue)

The only time I've ever had this type of issue with my GTP 8.4 was caused by my router, which for some reason stopped my Sammy TV being detected (always worked fine all the time with my S3 ) A reboot gave a short term 'fix' but the problem kept coming back.
In the end I switched from a 2wire 2700HGV router to a Billion 7800 and the issue has not shown up again.
Strange but true......

Youtube App on Fire Stick - every video starts up with audio issues...

So I just recently got an Amazon Fire Stick and wanted to use it for Youtube viewing. Even though I can watch 1080p shows on Amazon Prime and Netflix without issue, every Youtube video I've tried starts out with audio skipping. It always corrects itself after a second or two but I rather it never happens. Anyway else experience this? It's like it's only buffering video first and then audio tries to catch up afterwards.
Also, every so often there is a video where the audio is not sync'd properly. Plays fine on all other devices.

I've noticed the same on my Fire TV Stick - after a while you start to get stuttering too and then picture freezing.
It's been a consistent issue for me on my FireTV Stick. However it's also a regular issue on my EETV box and occasional issue Now TV Box, and Roku Streaming Stick.
However YouTube is the only app on the three platforms (Now TV being a re-branded Roku) with the issue - BBC iPlayer, UKTV Player, ITV Hub*, All 4*, Google Play Movies*, Now TV*, TVPLayer Plus*, Wuaki TV, Freeview connect (e.g. CCTV, Box+, Motors TV, Vintage TV)*, Amazon Instant Video, Vimeo, Flixster, My5, TVPlayer, Tune In all manage to play without stuttering!
* Apps only on EETV/Roku.
Of all those platforms the UI is most responsive on the Fire TV (only since Fire OS 5 - it used to be the worse) but video and audio playback are best on the Roku (i.e. the least audio stuttering or buffering)

Fire TV 2 video playback issues

My AFTV2 will not playback video from any source without the playback pausing/stopping for about 1-2 seconds all through the movie. No matter what the source whether streaming from my NAS or streaming from an app, any app. I play the same video back on my AFTV1 and it plays fine. I can't even play 720 video back clean let alone 1080p. I am rooted on 5.0.4 I was thinking of unrooting and going back to 5.0.3 but I would rather not have to do that. Anyone else having issues with video playback on AFTV2? or can anyone suggest what I can try to correct it. I have already tried playing back video using MX Player and VLC. I thought VLC might work because its the one from Amazon Play Store but the result is the same. It's really driving me crazy because it happens all the time. The reason I got the AFTV2 was because I thought I would get cleaner playback of video based on the new hardware, but my AFTV1 which is also rooted blows it out of the water. The Fire TV 2 is connected to a powerline adapter, but I tested it connected directly to my router and the result was the same. Even on the powerline adapter my speed test is about 19-24 mbps which should be fast enough to playback video smoothly. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

So.....no one else has problems with video playback on the AFTV2? If not then maybe it's my particular box that has a problem...

I just stream using Kodi & some addon sources you will get buffering problems but to be honest it's fine when you get a nice stream.

thanks for the reply. Yes I use Kodi as well, and you're right you have to have a good stream first. But even when I stream movies from my NAS in Kodi, or select a stream from an addon that's say MQ it still stutters throughout the movie. When I play the same movie, same stream, from my AFTV1 it plays perfectly fine. I know I have a fast enough internet connection. It just seems strange to me that the AFTV2 with the more powerful hardware can't come close to the AFTV1 when it comes to video playback. Even Netflix stutters.

Question Audio on television stops when video on Instagram/Facebook begin to play

Hi, I am currently watching TV shows on my Kodi firestick. while I am watching television and browsing Facebook or even Instagram when a video starts playing/audio the show I am watching pauses, I have to then press play to continue the show on tv.
Anyone know why videos that start with audio (Instagram and Facebook) pause the videos I am watching on my tv/first stick?
This was not occuring with my OnePlus 7t pro

I think there may be a problem with your sound card. I also had such a problem when using discord, the interrupts stopped after sound card updates. I am currently able to follow various broadcasts such as TV or radio without freezing. canlı tv

Audio<>Video Syn Problem in Youtube or Other Apps

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with the Audio<> Video Sync on my Android TV panasonic TX-50 LXW 704 and my Samsung HW-S810B Soundbar.
In the area of normal TV stations it OK, but if I want to play something on the ZDF mediathek or YouTube, the audio is behind the video. I've tried everything, but can't find a way. Do you have a tip? The soundbar only allows the sound to be delayed, but this is also 0. And since it works with the TV stations, there must be another problem.
thx
Cyberbob

Try outputting the audio as PCM or bypass

I tried this before this post. Without success. But I have now returned the soundbar and bought another one. And it runs without any problems and with synchronous audio <> video
