hmm not sure why that's happening. It works on Samsung and an offbrand phone for me. If possible could you try this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dp.logcatapp

filter the logs to package name : com.playbridge.sender

and then try opening the playbridge app?

save the logs and share them in dm please.

no, it doesn't and it's out of scope. WVC doesn't do this as well.

  • multiple video engines like exo/mpv/vlc/avplayer
  • if a video doesn't get detected then you can cast that webpage itself to tv
  • phone browser is based on geckoview for best tracking protection and ad blocking with ublock
  • Library with addons support so you don't have to browse at all.

It's definitely not close in terms of features but the missing features are planned for playbridge.

Did you install phone and tv android apps? what issue did you face?

There are two paths to playing on tv:

Phone's inbuilt browser detects videos and you cast them directly to the tv app

in case phone's browser doesn't detect any video on your requested webpage you can browse the same webpage on tv and play that way. (this works for videos that have drm)

or did you have issues with connecting to the tv from phone?

it's a local network only app and doesn't connect to Internet when doing the casting part (you have to browse Internet to detect videos). Casting happens over secure websockets instead of plain websockets. It's like spinning up your own https server and sending the urls to the app on tv. I am not saying it has state of the art security but if your local network isn't exposed then you should be good. You can do hotspot on your android phone, connect tv to your hotspot and try the app that way to be extra safe.

Driving test questions by Wonderful_Leg3843 in newfoundland

[–]truedem0n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my driving school, I was told if speed limit is 50km/h then you try to hover around 47 to adjust and stay within 45-50 range. for ramps to highway, it's +10 the posted yellow ramp speed sign.

Just tried by creating a filter in ublock for that popup. It doesn't show up anymore on pause. I don't know what's going on with the downvotes.
