LG G4 Miracast compatible with a Sony BDP-S5200?

AC Question

Soooooo, here is my issue:

I have a Sony BDP-S5200 3D Blu-ray player (2015 Model). I live in the boondocks, with no cable or DSL for internet. Basically, my phone is my internet. I have been using a Droid Ultra to perform screen mirroring so that I can watch my phone apps (Crackle, Hulu, etc) on my big screen.

A week ago, I upgraded my cell phone from the Droid Ultra to a new LG G4. Since upgrading, I have not been able to use miracast. I turn on the "Screen mirroring" on my Blu-ray player, then go to my phone and turn on miracast. It searches and finds the Blu-ray, I tap on it to start, and it shows on both the phone and the Blu-ray that it is connecting. After about 30 seconds or so, I get a message on the TV screen stating "Communications with Wi-Fi compatible device was disconnected".

It worked with my Motorola Droid, as well as my friends LG G3. Does anyone out there have a G4 phone and a BDP-S5200 blu-ray that work with Miracast?

I'd really need this to work so I can watch my shows. Thanks in advance for your help.

LG Tech Support was totally useless. Called twice, took almost an hour, and got some nice young lady that was obviously reading a script on her screen. She didn't know anything about the settings, and didn't have a clue what Miracast was.
