I have Samsung UE40J5200AW and it has that screen mirroring feature. Whenever I try to use to cast from Windows 11 to this TV, the stream stops after few mins of playing.

I have no idea if Samsung doesnt allow to play full screen videos from casting devices or not. I have tried to connect both PC and TV via Ethernet and see if it will help, but its happening all the time.

Whats interesting it also happens when I cast via my lineage os phone and I checked it on different TV and had the same issue.

Whats your ways to cast videos from PC/laptop to TV?

    I use a Steam Link, but that’s no longer available as hardware, only an app. I don’t have any experience with it but I read somewhere you can set up RaspberyPi to work in the same way.

    Though I have to say - while it works wirelessly, for games it is better to have wired connection.

      I did this with my Steam Link in the past. Interestingly enough, my new Smart TV has Steam Link as a downloadable app for it, so I don’t need my physical box anymore.

        You can use pretty much any device that runs Android or Linux to run Steam Link. Even something like a Chromecast will do.
