How do I play my first video?
Open toCar and tap Add source on the first tab. Choose On My iPhone to import a video from Photos or Files, then open the source and tap the video. To resume later, go to Watch → Recent.
What media sources can I add?
toCar supports local videos, direct video URLs, M3U playlists, and compatible Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, and Xtream sources. You bring your own media. toCar does not provide a streaming catalog or channels.
Why won’t a website video play in toCar?
Open Discover → Browser and start the video on the original page. Then open Videos and choose Play in toCar if it’s available. Some sites require their own player or protect their streams. If no playable video is found, try watching on the original page.
What should I do if playback stalls after a pause?
Stop playback and check your connection. For a web video, return to the original page and choose Videos → Play in toCar again. Videos playing directly on a website may pause when you leave the app.
Why can’t toCar connect to my media server?
Check the server address, port, and sign-in details. For a local server, connect your iPhone to the same network and check toCar’s permission under iPhone Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network. For a remote server, use HTTPS.
Why can I hear audio but see no video in CarPlay?
A car can support CarPlay audio without supporting video. When safely parked, check toCar Settings → Connection Status. Start the video on your iPhone, open Video Output in the player, and select the car screen if it appears. If it isn’t listed, you can watch on your iPhone or use a compatible AirPlay display.
Why isn’t my AirPlay device listed?
Connect your iPhone and the receiving device to the same Wi-Fi network. Make sure AirPlay is enabled on the receiver, then reopen Video Output in the toCar player.
