Setting up Web Video Caster on the Roku Streambar

Web Video Caster doesn't run on the Roku Streambar itself. It runs on your phone, holds the M3U playlist, and sends each channel to the Roku Streambar, which plays it through a free receiver channel. Setup takes about ten minutes.

Setup guide

Web Video Caster is free to download. 4K is no problem for the Roku Streambar; give it a 25 Mbps connection and a 4K TV and the sharper feeds hold up. Choose a plan, message us on WhatsApp, and expect your login details in about a minute.

Before you start: Web Video Caster on Roku Streambar

Web Video Caster on Roku Streambar: Before you start

Your M3U playlist link, opened on your phone
An Android phone or iPhone on the same Wi-Fi as the TV

Installing Web Video Caster

Web Video Caster on Roku Streambar: Installing Web Video Caster

Order on WhatsApp from the buy page and ask for the M3U version of the login. The playlist and guide links come back in the same chat, usually within a minute.
Install Web Video Caster from Google Play on an Android phone or from the App Store on an iPhone, and keep the phone on the same Wi-Fi as the Roku Streambar.
On the Roku Streambar, search the Roku Channel Store for Web Video Caster and add its free receiver channel.
In Web Video Caster on your phone, open the IPTV section and add the M3U link from your WhatsApp message.
Pick a channel, tap the cast icon and choose your TV from the list. The phone works as the remote while the TV plays.
Change channels from the playlist on the phone; the Roku Streambar follows each time you cast a new one.

What you'll see on first launch

Once the cast connects, the channel plays full screen on the Roku Streambar while the phone works as the remote: pick another channel in Web Video Caster and the TV follows. The first cast can take a few seconds to start.

Troubleshooting

Web Video Caster on Roku Streambar: Troubleshooting

The Roku Streambar doesn't appear in the cast list: put the phone and the TV on the same Wi-Fi network, not a guest network, check the receiver channel is installed, then reopen Web Video Caster.
Stutter on sports: pick the HD version of the channel and move the phone closer to the router.
The channel list is empty: paste the M3U link again in full.
Picture but no sound: check the TV volume and input, then start the cast again.

Small tweaks, smoother playback

Web Video Caster on Roku Streambar: Small tweaks, smoother playback

Use the Ethernet port if your box has one.
Turn on frame-rate matching in the box's display settings so 60fps sports don't judder.
Set the output resolution to match the TV; a 4K signal on a 1080p TV just adds work.
Auto-lock: turn it off on the phone while you cast a game.
