How to cast via Orange box?

Hello everyone,

I'm looking to stream content from my phone (YouTube videos or other internet content) to my TV, without buying additional equipment like Chromecast, etc.

But the equipment I have is quite "old":
- Samsung TV from 2007 (LE26R86BD),
- Orange LiveBox Play (box + decoder)
- Samsung Galaxy S7 phone.

I believe the TV is too old to connect to the phone via wifi, but I'm sure that something can be done through the box.
I understand that I need "a DLNA application or program," but I haven't been able to find one.

On the Orange help page, they say: "The sharing application is natively available on most Android phones. If you don't have a native app, you'll need to download one of the many existing apps from the stores."

But there are all sorts of things in the stores, and I’m lost!

If someone could help me out, that would be super cool!
Thanks in advance.
Lise.

Thank you, I looked but I don't really understand the connection with the box; I feel like it's not designed for that.
What I want to do is stream a video from a browser or an app on my phone to my TV, without downloading it. Is that not possible?

You need to install an app on your phone, since the Livebox is not on Android it is impossible to cast anything with your phone without a mobile app; there are plenty of them, you just have to search in the store. For your information, some phones have a built-in app that allows it.
For Android, there are operators that offer boxes under Android, such as the MINI 4K.

Have a nice day.

Thank you.
I can't find the "native" app on my Samsung. I installed an app downloaded from the store, but nothing happens. The app recognizes my box, but nothing happens on my TV screen; there’s the box menu and that’s it. When I go into the media center of my box, it tells me to download the "Orange Media Center" app, but that app no longer exists. It's never-ending.
