I'm having trouble casting videos to my TV using Chromecast. What should I do?

If you're experiencing difficulties in casting our videos to your TV using Chromecast, this might be due to how Chromecast handles certain video formats like HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) playlists on some devices. Here's a workaround to help you enjoy our content on a larger screen:

Cast Your Entire Screen:

  • Mobile Devices: Use the 'Cast' or 'Screen Mirroring' feature in your device's settings to mirror your entire screen to Chromecast. Open our website in your mobile browser, play the video, and then switch to full-screen mode.
  • Computers: If using the Chrome browser, click the three dots at the top-right corner, select 'Cast', and then choose 'Cast desktop' from the sources dropdown. Once your desktop is mirrored to your TV, navigate to our website, play the video, and switch to full-screen mode.

Enjoy Full-Screen Playback: Once you've mirrored your screen to Chromecast, ensure that the video on our site is playing in full-screen mode for an optimal viewing experience.

We're working to make the casting process as seamless as possible and apologize for any inconvenience this workaround may cause. Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.

If this method does not resolve your issue or if you have any further questions, please feel free to contact our customer support.

Loading too slow, buffering or stops during viewing?

Your internet speed may be too low. Generally speaking, The Darkroom Rumour is accessible via all connections with speeds greater than 512Kb/s (classic ADSL). Our technology is adaptive: depending on your connection, the image adapts so that the film does not cut. This may involve some loss of quality for lower bitrates.

Your browser or operating system may also be outdated, in which case please update to the most recent system version.

Finally, it is important to disconnect all devices already connected to the platform.

If problems persist, contact Alexis.
