Hi Kash, this does not help my situation. I can cast Netflix and YouTube perfectly, but not other apps. I also can't screen mirror or screen cast my phone, it just says searching for device. It's strange why Netflix works, but Hulu does not, surely I can't be the only person with this issue.

Thanks
