Anyway way to cast video to TV from iphone?

Craterloads · 2 Jan 2015 at 23:16

As above, I can do YouTube and Netflix as my smart TV has the apps, but was wondering if it was possible with random sites?

For example I sometimes watch match of the day in the morning (before its on iPlayer) from links from reddit on cloudyvideos.com

Is it possible to cast from cloudyvideos.com to my TV, using chromecast or similar dongle?

You can do it through an AppleTV.

Bit too pricey, can it be done on older models?

The ATV2 is often more expensive than the ATV3 as the 2 can be jailbroken whilst the 3 can't.

You could mess around for ages getting Xbmc's AirPlay plugin to work and then buy an AppleTV anyway.

Bloody hell why are the 1st gen more expensive than 3rd gen?

Anyhow not too expensive, around £60 + the new ones do 1080p

They're beer money - excellent value.
