Web Video Caster on your Roku TV, step by step

Web Video Caster doesn't run on the Roku TV itself. It runs on your phone, holds the M3U playlist, and sends each channel to the Roku TV, which plays it through a free receiver channel. Setup takes about ten minutes.

Setup guide

Web Video Caster is free to download. Whether it plays 4K depends on the model, so check the spec sheet before choosing 4K feeds. Plans are prepaid and never auto-renew, and you have 7 days to ask for your money back.

Have these ready

  • Your M3U playlist link, opened on your phone
  • An Android phone or iPhone on the same Wi-Fi as the TV
  • Plan on about 10 Mbps for each HD stream and 25 Mbps for each 4K stream

Installing Web Video Caster

  • Choose a plan on the pricing page and order on WhatsApp; your M3U playlist link and XMLTV guide link arrive in about 60 seconds.
  • Install Web Video Caster from Google Play on an Android phone or from the App Store on an iPhone, and keep the phone on the same Wi-Fi as the Roku TV.
  • On the Roku TV, search the Roku Channel Store for Web Video Caster and add its free receiver channel.
  • In Web Video Caster on your phone, open the IPTV section and add the M3U link from your WhatsApp message.
  • Pick a channel, tap the cast icon and choose your TV from the list. The phone works as the remote while the TV plays.
  • Change channels from the playlist on the phone; the Roku TV follows each time you cast a new one.

What you'll see on first launch

Once the cast connects, the channel plays full screen on the Roku TV while the phone works as the remote: pick another channel in Web Video Caster and the TV follows. The first cast can take a few seconds to start.

Common problems and fixes

  • The Roku TV doesn't appear in the cast list: put the phone and the TV on the same Wi-Fi network, not a guest network, check the receiver channel is installed, then reopen Web Video Caster.
  • The channel list is empty: paste the M3U link again in full.
  • Stutter on sports: pick the HD version of the channel and move the phone closer to the router.
  • The cast stops when the phone locks: turn off auto-lock while you watch.

Settings that help on the Roku TV

  • Use the TV's Ethernet port when the router is close.
  • Install TV software updates; the app store serves builds matched to your firmware.
  • Switch the picture mode to Standard or Sports for live games; Vivid looks harsh on compressed feeds.
  • Auto-lock: turn it off on the phone while you cast a game.
