Cast video from a Windows PC to Roku TV

The CnX Player 5.0 supports casting to Roku. Find a compatible device on the same Wi-Fi and control playback from your PC.

Casting and 10-bit HDR are CnX Pro features, with a free trial on every video. Check the app for the options available to you.

Support for a destination family does not guarantee every TV model, file or network setup. Casting is up to 4K HDR where the file and playback setup support it.

Choose a screen to cast

  1. Turn on the TV or receiver and connect it to the same Wi-Fi as your Windows PC.
  2. Open your video in CnX Player and use Cast.
  3. In Choose a screen to cast, select your device. Use the displayed Play on action to connect.
  4. Control playback from your PC. Check the result on the TV before continuing with a longer video.

If your TV is missing, confirm it is on the same Wi-Fi, then refresh the cast list. If it still does not appear, note its model and receiver platform when contacting support@cnxplayer.com. Earlier brand-specific home-screen icons and mandatory PIN steps are not instructions for this new picker.
