### 5/5 — （bug反馈）可以扫描到dlna设备却提示“所选设备不支持投屏”

*2026-07-17*

“电视投屏助手”可以扫描到dlna设备并且遥控器功能可以正常操控电视，但投屏却提示“所选设备不支持投屏”，同一设备，“极客投屏”1.0就可以正常进行投屏图片视频。现在极客投屏更新到1.4后，投屏功能也不行了，投屏设备里的不行，其他设备-屏幕镜像，可以。但电视投屏助手里只有一个，没有屏幕镜像设备。安装第三方投屏接收客户端，可以被发现识别，电视投屏助手、极客投屏提示“已投屏”，但电视端也是无法接收显示投屏内容。

**Developer response:** 收到，新版本正在审核，完成后更新版本即可体验全新效果

### 5/5 — 可以，就是免费的功能太少，很多功能都只能付费后使用
