Troubleshooting video playback

If you’re having trouble playing videos, the following steps can help.

Chromecast support

Keep in mind that you need Google's Chrome browser, Safari on Mac only supports playback on TV via Apple Airplay. 

You can cast Google Chrome to your TV through the browser's "Cast..." menu, which is available on PC, Mac, or Chromebook computers, and Android phones.

When playback via Chromecast is supported in the Video Player, The VIXY player will show a little cast icon in the player bar:

1. Choose the Chromecast device where you want to watch the content. If you're already using the Chromecast, your content will replace what's on your TV.
2. When you're done, to the right of the address bar, click Cast. Stop casting.
3. For VXY live events keep in mind that you need a secure access code (ticket) to watch the event. 

4. If you experience any playback issues on Chromecast after switching from Chromecast to another tab and coming back, it could be that your access code (ticket) is expired. Hit F5 or refresh/reload the Chromecast tab to make sure you have still access.
