Apologies for what might be a newbie question. I have a 55" Nanocell 80 series TV. I've used it for, among other things, casting FloSports from my iPhone. This always worked well and was much more stable than Roku, which kept throwing me out of the app. I go into the FloSports app on my phone, it prompts me for the casting output, I choose [LG] webOS TV NANO80UPA. Until now, it has always worked.
Last night, out of nowhere, I got an Error Code -201. I looked it up: Unable to Load, Server Certificate has expired or is not yet valid as the set time on TV is different from the current time. Please check time settings. I checked. Time settings are correct. It was suggested that my Internet speed may be lacking, but other apps like YouTube work just fine. Another tip was to ensure I had the most current software patch. Apparently, I do (03.33.11.) Googling it suggests that this is a YouTube error but, again, YouTube is OK. AirPlay is not.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

The ability to use casting features from Android devices. I can cast using YouTube from Android to tv but, Cannot cast from other apps. Netflix, Disney also work. But discovery plus, web browser videos. I guess my request is to support the full cast feature.

Question
Stephen French
I'm getting very frustrated. I can happily cast content from my Iphone 6 to my TV using websites etc. However, I can't from in an app (BT Sports for example).
I've got Chromeast set up on a non smart TV and all works perfectly on that. Do I need a 2nd Chromecast? I was hoping a "smart TV" wouldn't need it?
Help greatly appreciated
Stephen French
