Try Open Kodi / TV

Then open Popcorn Time As detection should be started once

check if you have VPN on ... A friend who have the same issue says he always need to first load the app and only then turn VPN on or it wont see his devices. In his case it was an Xbox so don't know if this is same issue or not. the funny part Windows 10, always see those devices and can do "Cast to" ... Will be good if the Dev will try to use the same API windows uses that seems to always work.

It happened to me too. Sometime it shows my smart tv, and sometime it doesn't. But my device still appear in win 10 "Cast to" menu when it doesn't in PT.

Can any of you (not windows user) test if things are improved with dev build #286 ?
