[QUOTE="JasonInPas, post: 1632573, member: 341123"] Anyone ever notice how much better 'casting' YouTube is on a smart tv versus Apple TV? When I open the YouTube app on my iPhone, and then select my smart tv (panasonic vt60), the iphone basically acts as a remote control for the tv's built-in youtube app. i could power down the phone and the video would keep playing on the tv. The video is coming from the TV's internet connection and being played on it's own youtube app. but if I instead select apple tv from my iPhone's YouTube app, the experience is totally different. Am i correct in thinking that the phone is using AirPlay to stream the video to apple tv and not actually using the apple tv's built-in youtube app? The iphone is downloading the video from youtube and passing it along to the apple tv? If the technology being used with the Apple TV is AirPlay, what is the technology that allows my youtube app to basically act as a remote control for the built-in youtube app on my smart tv? [/QUOTE]
