Before starting
- Sender and receiver on the same reachable Wi-Fi network.
- A player with an actual Cast control and a playable authorized source.
Installation and account steps
- Check native playback first Open the source on the sender app to establish whether the player can access it.
- Select the receiver Use the Cast button inside the compatible app and choose the target TV/streamer.
- Check network visibility if absent Confirm the same network/SSID, required local-network permissions and absence of client/AP isolation.
- Stop or change the route Use the app’s Cast control to disconnect. If this app/source cannot cast, use a separately verified native receiver-player route.
Expected result
A compatible app/source starts on the selected receiver. No Hot IPTV Cast session was tested.
If the result is different
| Symptom | Next check | What the check distinguishes |
|---|---|---|
| Receiver is not listed | Check same-network visibility and app permissions. | Discovery failure is separate from a service login problem. |
| Source plays locally but not on receiver | Report the sender app, receiver and exact media failure. | Local decoding does not prove the receiver supports the same source. |
Documentation checked; installation and Hot IPTV playback not tested
