I just discovered this useful feature. I can cast to my DLNA Sony TV but the video playback from web sites such as YouTube is very choppy. The laptop is connected via WiFi to my router and the TV is hard wired to the router. Are there any fixes to improve the playback? Casting a HD video file from the laptop to the TV works fine so I suspect the problem is the Edge browser rather than the network.

This useful feature ceased to work for casting to DLNA devices from Edge with the Creators Update and has not been fixed yet (as of build 15063.296). Edge can no longer find any DLNA device, even though the Cast to Device context menu can still find them and cast to them.

My PC does not support that or Connect.

Connect requires Miracast. Casting from File Explorer can work with DLNA and doesn't require special hardware. Until 1703 Edge worked with DLNA and Miracast. From post #1...

..in Microsoft Edge. Click on the “…” menu and the top left, and select “Cast media to device” and select the Miracast or DLNA device you want to cast to...

...now Edge too only seems able to work with Miracast.

Oh dear - not another bug with the CU?

I'm surprised this still isn't fixed. There appears to be no simple way of casting from my laptop (via WiFi) to my TV connected by wired Ethernet. Such is progress!

Apparently the official answer from a Microsoft spokesperson is "No - we're never going to restore this function in Edge that you all enjoyed so much in 1607"

The media casting functionality that was previously built into Edge has been removed in Fall Creators Update. There is a close alternative available that allows you to show Edge on a wireless display, so the "Cast media to device" menu option was retained and instead, it now opens the system panel for connecting to a wireless display. This system panel does not show Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA)-certified devices by design because casting to DLNA from Edge is no longer supported. We apologize for any confusion this has caused.

You can still cast videos, photos and audio files from your PC to a DLNA device with...

Add or Remove Cast to Device context menu in Windows 10

...and cast to DLNA from the Films & TV app.

Perhaps @Brink could edit this tutorial. It still states that...

This tutorial will show you how to use Microsoft Edge in Windows 10 to cast video, picture, and audio content from your browser to any Miracast and DLNA enabled device on your network.

DLNA capapbilities were removed from Edge in 1703 Creators Update. We now have confimation that this was deliberate, with no intention of restoring it.
