I honestly can't answer your question on this, but I can tell you the Vizio smartcast mobile app is garbage! I have the Vizio 5.1 sound bar and it's world war 3 to get it to work properly with it. I deleted the app after giving up on the connectivity of the app. It isn't a big deal for me to use chromecast so I don't care really, but my experience with it has not been good. This and the ARC issues with the sound bar has been the only 2 negatives of this set. After setting some things the way support told me to for the sound bar it has been doing ok. The ARC is new and really doesn't have a solid standard so the settings need to be right to keep it from becoming possessed and turning itself on, even in the middle of the night.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The only info on their site states.... Vizio Smartcast with Chromecast built in. Smartcast has most popular apps built in, but you can't add other apps. You can cast other apps from your phone or computer though.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It’s Vizios implementation of it and the updates are made by them and not google. So far it works great and the phone app is really amazing for finding and playing content.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hey, Chromecast is an evolving format. I've never had an issue casting to either of my 3 devices. Two vizio built in and one chromecast 2nd Gen attached to an old Sony LCD. I've casted from Galaxy tabs and S8 and S9 phones.
