Hi, i have a Panasonic 42AS500 and a Samsung galaxy S5, problem im having, i can view my photos from my phone onto my tv by pressing the screen mirroring button on my phone but when i go to my videos on my phone the screen mirroring icon is not displayed,? My videos are all 4k so tried a video in HD and still no luck. hope someone can enlighten me? I know i can do it via the Panasonic Tv remote from the app store but i want to do it on the phone and not through a app (if that makes sence) cheers

Content can be set to with-hold screen mirroring. Why not get a hdmi cable for your phone ?

If the content provider doesn't want you to view the content on a large screen TV they can disable screen mirroring. A direct cable will usually allow you to watch anything (not found anything you can't watch).
