    My one won't play ball with me. When I switch it on, the HDMI channel has a Tronsmart screen, then after a min or so it says there's an error and that it needs to restart and after restart the same happens. And also my after using ezcast on my Surface Pro 3, it doesn't seem to find it at all?

    Could be a lack of juice causing instability.
    Might not be getting enough power from the USB port on your TV. Do you have a high amperage USB charger, maybe something that came with a tablet that you could try using as a power source just to test this theory. What type of charger does the Surface Pro have? Could you use it to test?

    If the dongle is in DLNA/Airplay mode, then it is also working as a WiFi access point which other devices should see the same as they see your internet router. The password will be on-screen. You need to connect to this access point and then through this use the Ezcast app to configure the dongle so it can connect to your internet router for streaming from the net.
    For streaming local files you don't really need a router, as directly connecting to the dongle's access point from your phone, tablet or PC should allow you to do that.
    Miracast mode is more or less mirroring from what I've seen of it, and not as useful to me personally, but the DLNA mode on this dongle works very well for streaming.

    Yeah I was thinking it might be a low power thing. But then my bro plugged the USB from the dongle into the TV and still same result for some odd reason.

    It could be just that the firmware didn't sit right when it was installed.

    Try updating or reinstalling firmware

    Can you play videos from you tube to the tv?

    I eventually managed to mirror my ipad to it but it's not full screen. However when I go into youtube, nothing happens. As in it wont play any of the videos. Is this an apple thing or what?
