Hi, New to Kodi and this forum and very confused.
I installed Kodi and I can play movies on my computer, it's great!!!!
But I don't want to watch on my laptop or desktop. I want it on my 70" TV. So, husband did his research (so he said) and bought a CHROMECAST. I followed all the instructions but where everyone say: click the "PLAY USING..." and select the CHROMECAST device... Well I don't even get the PLAY USING. I only get "PLAY FROM HERE". I tried everything but I am getting the sick feeling that there is nothing to get the darn Kodi movie to cast to my TV with the audio. I read that I needed to install BUBBLEUPnP but it doesn't look like it's for mac computers. Maybe there is something like BUBBLEUPnP that is for mac??
What I want to do:
Open Kodi and cast the movie to my chromecast device.
If it can't be done, can a laptop be connected to the TV (please tell me the wires I would need) and play the Kodi movies that way?
When you have a MAC, which a lot of people have, how do you play the Kodi movies to the TV?
Before anybody ask:
- YES, the chromecast device works fine I can cast from my iphone on it and play youtube just fine.
- No, I don't have a windows computer, I am a MAC GIRL all the way ;-)
- No, I don't have an Android phone, I am a MAC GIRL all the way ;-)
My information:
KODI 15.2
Macbook
OS 10.7.5
2 GHz Intel core 2 duo
4GB Ram
