    Don't even bother asking here. They will never tell you the truth which is that.. 

     

    Screen mirroring no longer works with ANY roku TV.

     

    The ONLY way to do it is to go into advanced settings and literally RESET THE NETWORK. And it'll turn your tv off and on. Do NOT put your wifi back on when the tv comes back on. The only way to screen mirror now is to do it without the wifi. And i don't mean just disconnect the tv from wifi. That won't work either. It only works when you reset the network and stay offline.

     

    Idk what kind of bug this is or why they haven't fixed it. We got a samsung tv and surprise surprise, my phone screen shares just fine! And it's not just my android phone. It was an iphone. A motoroka razr phone. A brand new samsung tablet. Laptops etc. And it's not my certain TV either. Cause we have two completely different brands of TV's. They just both happen to be Roku. Roku is more than aware of this They just don't care.

      That is true. I did get, for 21 bucks, an app that did it for me in Android to get the Samsung phone, with a 10 second delay, on the TV thru TCL Roku TVs. But nothing like that existed on Windows. Therefore the only option is to get Fire TV or the Chromecast/ONN devices that run on Android or Google TV. I was able to mirror to a Fire TV device connected to the tv using my laptop. But it never found the Roku TV. It might have better luck with a Roku streaming device now that I think of it.
