Smart View no longer works

I'm having an issue with the Smart View function on my Samsung devices - an s5e and an s21fe.

I've been able to screen share to my LG TV in the past with no problems, but now it just doesn't work - it doesn't find the device. YouTube still streams to the TV no problem, but I guess that works in a different way. 

Any ideas? I saw something online that seemed to suggest Samsung devices will no longer stream to a non Samsung TV, but I don't know if that's right. 

Thanks!

I've worked this out myself, here's what it was....

The TV was connected to the home network using a wired connection, when I configured the wireless connection on the TV it appeared on the available devices list for smart view.

I'm pretty sure it used to work with a wired connection only, but maybe I'm wrong on that.

Glad I sorted it, and maybe this'll help someone else one day!

Sadly, my TV is wired, but works only intermittently. A recent LG TV update seemed to temporarily fix problem, but it's now reverted to intermittently connect. Seems LG and Samsung seem unwilling to work with each other, at a device/company level to fix this longstanding issue. Poor show.
