Has anyone used the FA player before?

Assume you can login via a phone, tablet or smart TV?

Had a quick look and I had to register and I’m sure it’s simple enough when Saturday comes but I’d like to know I had everything working before the game.

No and No idea ... like you am waiting till Saturday and hopefully its easy to do

Int it on bbc red button

No its on FA Player as per the OP

Once registered you will just have to click on the game of your choice. There are a couple of women’s super league games on at 12.30 on Saturday so you could just try them out to ensure everything is working ok.

If you have an Android TV or Android based smart device like a fire stick you may be able to download or sideload the app otherwise it's a case of using Apple airplay or Chromecast depending on your phone or TV model. I think apple users can download the Chromecast app that may let them cast to a Chromecast device or TV, but not sure.

Android users just hit the cast button top right if they have a Chromecast TV or device.

If you have a non Chromecast TV, or one that has airplay without an apple device then you're stuck screen sharing via wireless display. Motion tends to be bad when casting with Chromecast but even worse when screen sharing. But wireless display is a feature of most TVs that don't have Chromecast and can be used on Windows or on Android.. Although some Android devices have removed the feature.

To cut the long story short it really depends what TV, phone or tablet and what smart TV devices you own.

I might be wrong but I'm sure I've used this before for an England u23 game when Dwight was playing. My only option is to sit at the computer and watch it as I did for the League Cup games earlier in the season.

Thanks Everyone. I’ve gone through the registration process, I’d advise you to do this on a PC rather than a phone.

Looks like you will need to register ahead of the game.

Have samsung phone and TV and can cast to TV using "Smartview" app

It seems that you don’t need to register on the mobile app. Just press continue without sign in and the games list appears.

You can't cast using the FA player app using Smartview. What you may be able to do though is share your phone's screen.
Basically this is the wireless display feature I mentioned in my last post, and will give poor results with motion.

Yes go on treat yourselves now that we are on another lockdown get comfy, relax with something nice and enjoy watching on the bigger screen some of our promising squad players.

If you're like me and have non-Chromecast TV, just use a HDMI cable.

no lag or freezing (assuming laptop / wifi is ok).

I haven’t seen this posted anywhere yet. You can watch the match free on the FA Player. Need to sign up first.

Thanks. Link was useful to sign up.

UTC

Will it be available to stream?

FA Player

Another option rather than casting from your phone etc is to go to the internet application on your TV if you have that option and just go to the FA Player website. Just tested it out using their videos.

Delivered by 'Deliveroo'.

Will it come with a pizza?

She's doing her best buddy,believe me it wont be long when all this other shite is over that she tries again.....and ultimately she will succeed.

Anyone else having trouble just signing up to this thing? Jeez, I only wanted to watch tomorrow's game.

Tried about 30 times a complete utter waste of time....oops something went wrong!!!

Just had to make a new account as I couldn't remember my old details, took 30 seconds, very easily done.

Took me a while.. Then I tried typing in my email address instead of having it put in automatically from my saved info. Might help.

Why?

Because I’m one of them saddos that won’t let things lie... Milton Keynes do not have a team in the football league as far as I’m concerned. The way it all came about is a stain on the game imho, so whenever we face them, there’s no game.

Can’t get a full list of teams to support,no Burnley there.Any ideas guys n’ gals?
