iPhone Screen Mirroring help needed

[Slydude]

I'm helping someone with a screen mirroring issue and thought I would reach out to the forum for assistance. Been working on this for a day or two and it has me stumped.

The goal: Mirror an iPhone screen to a "smart" TV. The person I am helping cannot use AirPlay (no Apple TV) and if possible would like to do things wirelessly.

Equipment available:
1. iPhone 6 running IOS 12.3.1
2. TCL TV I believe the model number is 32S301
That model TV has Roku capability built in but some of the software does not seem to work with the building-in player.

I'm offering advice remotely and don't have a TCL set to test with.

From all the articles I've read on it, they're still going to need some type of wireless adapter, unless they can get the Roku functioning.

That's what I was afraid of too. I doubt that they are going to get the Roku connection functioning. They are relying on the Roku capabilities built into that TV. The info on their site is a bit confusing but even using the Chromecast capabilities from some software does not seem to work.

We've tried several apps with no success so far. Without being physically present to experiment with the settings personally I may not be able to get that working. I hate to suggest it to them but it may require purchasing one of the stand alone Roku boxes as they seem to be more widely supported than the various TV implementations out there.
