Issues with Smart View, Play Content NOT Mirror Screen

[Noreik]

Hi All,

I'm a bit new here, but not new to using samsung devices. 

I've always loved the ease of use of having a video/picture file i wish to stream using the my local network using the play content feature instead of mirroring screen. The quality is often better and I can utilise the smart TV or console remote for playback. 

I'm having the problem now that when i'm trying to stream to my TV it's no longer giving the option to "play content" only mirror screen, which is reallllly annoying. I've had this issue before that managed to fix itself somehow, but since my phone updated on monday the option is gone, and despite my best efforts i can't seem to find the option again. 

Any one able to help. I don't think i should have to download 3rd party apps to do this if the phone should really be capable on it's own. Again i want the Play Content feature, not screen mirror.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Kieron

only thing that worked for me was to do a full factory reset on my tv. I have lots of other samsung tvs around my house and had exactly the same problem with just 1 of them only allowing me to mirror only. scoured the entire Internet and that's the only thing that worked to get play content back. highly annoying
