streaming to smart tv

Hello all.

Am using localcast to stream to my smart tv from an android phone, but cant figure out how to get it to pause or fast forward...have chromecast on a different non-smart tv and those features work ok but am thinking i shouldnt need a CC to have those features on a smart tv...anyone any ideas?

    Presumably the software on the SmartTV doesn't support the features. What's the TV? Are we talking about a version of MiraCast - if so, there are different apps that can do it and might help.
