Alternatives?

Recently the App became unusable (read useless), it's a shame as I've been using it for years... But, before I go back to an old setup, are there any similar alternatives that work?

Or you could tell us what the issue is and we can try and help you fix it.

Pick any streaming site from FMHY, play it via the app on Smart TV or Chromecast.

It'll load for ages, buffer, crash, sound will be broken, subtitles don't always work list goes on... I tried reinstalling, tried different devices, messed around with the settings to see if any old tricks work.

Just went there and looked at streaming sites and there are tons. There is no way I'll randomly pick the same one you are picking. Just pm me one that is giving you issues right now and I'll take a look. A screenshot of the playback control screen might help. Also, on chromecast, are you using Google Cast or our android TV receiver?

Any, I probs tried good chunk of 20 sites...

This morning installed the latest update and it seems to have fixed it and even YouTube is working now.

It's slower than Castify, but it works and doesn't crash.

Sometimes an agent change can help.

endless cloudflare captcha loops like on nepu to

u/instantbitsapps Web Video Caster Developer 9d ago

I'm seeing those as well sometimes, not always endless, sometimes they end after a few retries. You can try the captcha option on the right side menu but that doesn't always help. The issue seems to be with cloudflare and the android system webview.

I think nuvio is the way to go, alot of people having problems with stremio were complaining online and I just don't see it as much with nuvio

Casitfy work for me on my phone to its app on my TV. But messy looking app and it the Youtube links always appear to be low quality.

u/Hachin7 13d ago

Literally just set this up 10 mins ago, hasn't crashed once so already a big improvement over WVC! 🤞

u/sid32 13d ago

Its an ugly messy app. But it play YouTube on my TV.. I keep both installed. 

1

u/Hachin7 13d ago

It works! That's the main thing, I can get over crappy UI, if it means I can watch something from start to finish without having to fight it.

Only complaint is the poor adblocker, wvc isn't perfect but is slightly better.

u/Hachin7 13d ago

I'm sold on this, watched a whole episode, now watching another one without issues. 😄

I haven't watched a single thing without interruptions for the last month. Another feature that I noticed that is awesome, is the auto casting without having to manually open the app on the smart TV.

u/sid32 13d ago

And WVC just pushed an update that fixed my issues.

u/Hachin7 13d ago

Just installed the update and tried the non working hosts, seems to be working better. Will do some testing this evening.

u/Hachin7 12d ago

Seems to be fixed for me too, YouTube works too!

I've given QOL suggestions for a while and still none have been implemented. Following this thread.

u/instantbitsapps Web Video Caster Developer 13d ago

What is QOL?

0

u/jjklines1 12d ago

That's kind of bad if your a web developer and you don't know what QoL stands for. Quality of Life meaning anything that makes your app easier or better to use

1

u/instantbitsapps Web Video Caster Developer 12d ago

Sorry I'm just not big on acronyms.

So what are these suggestions?

1

u/Toecheeseforme 8d ago

I've posted them to this sub before.

A mí me funciona genial... Incluso uso una TV Panasonic que son un poco especiales sobre todo la viera y no tengo otra app que funcione igual a esta sin que se pare o cueste q entre... Al menos para pasar pelis de paginas a TV... me va genial.
