Yes I see on my LG tv it doesn't support either 

I use hotstar from the Web browser and it works great! Try it.

Hello All, 

I've 55UK7500 and Google Pixel 2 XL. When I tried to cast the phone on TV it is unable to find the screen. I searched and found that Google has stopped supporting miracast. Has anyone found any workaround for this issue?

No it's still not working Nitin

 

I think that app/ website has issues... It works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't.

a) Hotstar works well on the browser in my TV. I tried watching GoT on it and it ran very smoothly on 1080p resolution; and it ran full screen  I wonder why it doesn't run on some users' TV browser as reported in this thread! My TV is one week old.

b) Also, I too wrote to Hotstar and got an instant encouraging reply from them which goes like this -

"It is good to see your active engagement with our digital platform. We have recently released an app for Android Smart TV OS 7.0 & above. Also, we are working on App for Samsung Tizen OS & LG Web OS App which should be available by end of this year. "

Although option a) above works fine with me but I have a question - Since the Hotstar logo on the top right is always fixed on the screen will it not run a risk of getting burnt-in on that spot of the TV? I am very concerned about this. Does the logo also appear on the app version (say on Sony's Android TVs)?

 

Yes, I was also wondering why users are so keen to get the app when we can access it via browser. But as you mentioned, it might be the case that it works on some models and not on others. I've 55UK6500 and it works without any glitch.

Regarding your question about burn in due to logo, I think that should not be an issue as other channels also have their logos on top right corners and that doesn't have any side effects afaik.

You can watch hotstar without any issues through the browser. Just open the browser and go to http://www.hotstar.com 👍

Yes, faced similar issue. Downloaded the app and tried to play a video but it won't play even after 15Mbps internet speed.

Initially thought I'm doing something wrong but after reading your post is confirmed that it's an issue with the app. Hope LG (or whoever is responsible) solves this on priority.
