how to use play to in windows 10

I have a Samsung TV which supports DLNA Render protocol. In windows 8 I used to be able to play video to this TV from my surface pro 3 by swiping in from the right and selecting devices then play to.

Now I have upgraded to windows 10 I can't see how to do the same thing.

I have tried pressing the connect button in the message centre but the TV device is not shown. However if I go to the connected devices section of the settings app the TV is shown.

Hi,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I appreciate your interest in windows 10 and also for providing issue in detail. I understand the inconvenience you faced. I will help you with this.

I would suggest you to try to connect TV to surface with different DLNA cable and check.

Also I would suggest you to try to update latest display drivers and check.

I hope this helps.
Let us know the status of the issue so that we can assist you better.

Thanks.

As I understand it, DLNA is a network protocol, not a cabling protocol. The TV is connected to a WI-FI router via a network cable and my Surface Pro connect via WIFI. Both these connections have been checked and work. My surface can detect the TV using UPnP so the can both talk to each other.

This Feature was sadly removed from Win 10. Hope, it'll come back soon. It's not the same as Miracast and works also on older tv's. In Win 8.1 that was possible from every app, even Internet Explorer.

Interesting: It's even there but there is no Interface to use it. :-(

please bring it back!

This reply has nothing to do with anything mentioned in the question. A "Surface" was never mentioned and DLNA uses no cable as it is a network protocol...
