How to watch GJW+ movies on your TV?

How-to
GJW+Subscriptions
  1. 1

    Install the Gan Jing World app

    On a streaming device such as Chromecast with Google TV, Roku, or Amazon Fire TV, install the Gan Jing World app from the device's app store. To cast from a phone or tablet instead, install the mobile app — from the App Store on iOS, or via the Android APK download on Android (see the device sections below).

  2. 2

    Open the app on your TV setup

    Open the Gan Jing World app on your streaming device. With an older Chromecast, open the mobile app on your Android device instead; with an HDMI cable, connect your device to the TV and switch the TV input to the correct HDMI port.

  3. 3

    Sign in to your account

    Sign in with the same Gan Jing World account you used to subscribe — GJW+ movies and shows unlock only on the subscribing account.

  4. 4

    Choose a movie and press play

    Browse the GJW+ movies and shows, pick a title, and start playback — the movie plays on your TV screen.

There's nothing like watching your favorite GJW+ movies on the big screen — and it's easy to do with a smart TV, a streaming device, or just an HDMI cable. The sections below walk through each way to connect.

Info

Watching GJW+ movies and shows requires a plan that includes GJW+ streaming — GJW+ Basic or GJW+ Gold (No Ads). See "What Gan Jing World subscription plans are available" for a comparison.

Install the app on your phone or tablet#

The Gan Jing World app is available for iOS in the App Store and for Android via the Android APK download. Once installed, you can cast videos to a compatible Chromecast or smart TV, or connect your device to the TV with an HDMI adapter and cable to mirror the screen.

    Open a browser on your Android device, go to the Gan Jing World website, and tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top-left corner.

    Find the download section

    Scroll to the bottom of the menu to find the App download QR code and download buttons. Alongside the App Store and Android APK buttons, there is also a "Download Android TV APK" button for Android TV devices.

Chromecast with Google TV (newer devices)#

  • Press the TV control center button, then press it again to install the app.
  • Select "Open", sign in, and stream GJW+ movies directly on your TV.

Older Chromecast devices#

Older Chromecast devices work together with the mobile app — you pick the movie on your Android device and cast it to the TV.

  • Open the app and sign in.
Info

If you can't find the app on Fire TV, check that your Fire TV software is up to date.

HDMI cable#

No smart TV or streaming device? An HDMI cable works with almost any TV.

  • Plug one end of the HDMI cable into your laptop, phone, or tablet (using an HDMI adapter if your device needs one) and the other end into the TV.
  • Switch the TV input to the correct HDMI port.
  • Open a browser on your device, go to the Gan Jing World website, sign in, and start playback — the screen mirrors on the TV.

Tips for the best viewing experience#

  • Use a stable, high-speed internet connection.
  • Keep all devices on the same Wi-Fi network.
  • Keep the app and your device software updated.

If you still have questions, reach out through the in-app help option or the Contact Us page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a subscription to watch GJW+ movies on my TV?+
Yes. GJW+ movies and shows require a plan that includes GJW+ streaming — GJW+ Basic or GJW+ Gold (No Ads). The third individual plan, Ad-Free, only removes video ads and does not unlock member-exclusive content. See "What Gan Jing World subscription plans are available" for a comparison.
What's the best option if I don't have a smart TV or streaming device?+
Use an HDMI cable: plug it into your laptop, phone, or tablet and into the TV, switch the TV input to the correct HDMI port, then sign in on the Gan Jing World website and start playback — the screen mirrors on the TV.
Why doesn't the Cast icon appear in the app?+
Make sure your phone or tablet and your Chromecast are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and keep the Gan Jing World app and your device software updated.
Is there an Apple TV app for GJW+ movies?+
The TV setups covered here are Chromecast, Roku, Fire TV, and HDMI. On Apple devices, you can AirPlay regular videos from the Gan Jing World app, but GJW+ movies and TV shows cannot be played over AirPlay due to DRM protection — use a streaming-device app or an HDMI cable for those.
Where do I find the Android TV APK?+
In the Gan Jing World website menu (the three horizontal lines in the top-left corner), scroll to the bottom — alongside the App Store and Android APK buttons there is also a "Download Android TV APK" button.
