• Eversolo App Casting on iPhone while Screen Mirroring to TV. It works! - AbeCollins 19:32:39 08/10/24 (11)

  I didn't play with it very much but I got it working. I am able to cast the Eversolo screen to/from my iPhone giving me control of the Eversolo from the iPhone. I am also able to simultaneously screen mirror the iPhone to the Samsung TV so the Eversolo App on the iPhone appears on the big screen.

  Here's what I did....

  First initiate screen mirroring on the iPhone. It will find compatible devices. Select Samsung TV.
  ...
  The iPhone screen will display vertically on your TV but once you start mirroring from the Eversolo App it will go horizontal.

  Launch the Eversolo App on the iPhone and choose Cast. The Eversolo App on your iPhone will be mirrored to the TV.

  
  My Samsung TV has a number of PiP modes so I had to mess with it in order to get just the Eversolo App up on the TV.

  Screen Mirroring to the TV while the Eversolo App is Casting.
  

  Whatever you display in the Eversolo App on the iPhone is screen mirrored to the TV. No cables! It's magic.

        If you have an AppleTV box attached to your TV I believe you can screen mirror to it.

        I am casting from an IPad. I think I need a dongle.

          I tried casting with Eversolo from my iPhone 14 Pro which worked perfectly for me. Casting from my iPad worked but it was very sluggish. I'm not sure if the poor response was due to the age of my much older iPad or if it had something to do with the larger higher resolution screen real estate that the casting would have to fill.

          None of the above involved screen mirroring to the TV, just casting Eversolo on my iPhone and iPad.

            I have a newer, but bottom of the line IPad. Casting to it from the A8 looks perfect.

              Interesting. Casting the Eversolo App to my older iPad is like molasses. I'll have to try it on my wife's newer iPad. Thanks.

          The Eversolo DMP-A8 streamer can be controlled by a smartphone (iPhone or Android). This allows the phone to act as a full-featured remote control with everything on the Eversolo screen appearing on the phone screen. G Squared can do this.

          I believe he is talking about his Samsung TV not supporting AirPlay which is required for "Screen Mirroring" from the iPhone or iPad. My newer Samsung TV supports AirPlay so I am able to "Screen Mirror" to it from my iPhone.

          The end result of this "Casting" and "Screen Mirroring" is the ability to control the Eversolo from the iPhone WHILE simultaneously "Screen Mirroring" the iPhone to the big TV. It works if the TV supports AirPlay which mine does.

            Apparently my TV was made before Airplay was standard for Samsung TVs.
            
            There are some IOS apps that claim to work, but they all cost $ and have bad reviews. I am inclined to get a HDMI dongle that is an Airplay 2 receiver.
            
            I use the spinning LP shaped "album" cover with a spectrum backdrop on my A8 display and think it would be cool on the big screen.

              Some streaming devices like Roku and AppleTV support Airplay mirroring but that would mean having another item in your AV rack. A HDMI dongle with Airplay sounds like a great idea if one of the goals is to keep it out of sight possibly mounting it (or letting it hang) behind the TV. Good idea. I didn't even know that such a HDMI dongle exists. I now see several of them on Amazon. Good luck!
