I cannot connect to the TV anymore

[mihael]

I cannot connect to the TV anymore. I can see the TV in Settings under Brightness and Display and I click on it and then it says on the phone "Connecting" but the moment when it says on the TV "Connecting", the message on the phone changes to "Not Connected". It waits like this for a while and then the phone displays "There was an unknown error".

Is there anything I can do to restore the connection? Thanks in advance.

@mihael Mine Pro 5 connects just fine with Microsoft Wireless display.

@stefano It happened to me after the previous update of the rc channel. I think it could be fixed by deleting some cache files or something but I need help / advices...

@mihael According to the Arch Linux wiki, when a Device connects, then disconnects after a few moments it might be due a device already being paired (from within a different operating system). A fix is to remove the device and re-pair. The Arch Linux wiki shows how to do that on the command-line via the bluetoothctl command.

@padu Thank you very much! I will study that...

@padu Hello again. As I understand, the phone connects to the tv via wifi and not bluetooth...

@mihael Sorry, no idea for wifi problems.
