Hi! I understand you want to remove the Google iWeb TV player as a cast device on your iPad when using the iWebTV app. Just to clarify—are you trying to stop the iWebTV app on your iPad from automatically sending videos to a specific Chromecast or Google Cast device named "iWeb TV player"? Or are you looking to disconnect or "forget" that device altogether so it no longer appears as an option?

Knowing this will help me guide you with the best steps to fix the issue. Could you please share a bit more about how you are casting and what exactly you want to remove or disable?

Thanks for clarifying! You want to stop your iPad’s iWebTV app from automatically casting videos to the Google iWeb player on your smart TV. Let's walk through some steps to stop this casting behavior:

1. Stop Casting from iWebTV App:
- Open the iWebTV app on your iPad.
- If a video is currently casting, look for the Cast icon (usually a rectangle with WiFi-like waves in a corner).
- Tap the Cast icon and select “Stop Casting” or “Disconnect” to stop sending the video to the Google iWeb player.

2. Avoid Auto-Casting:
- Some apps remember the last casting device and connect automatically.
- When you open iWebTV next time, before you start a video, tap the Cast icon and check if the Google iWeb player is selected.
- Manually disconnect or switch to “This iPad” or your iPad’s screen instead of the TV device.

3. Control Chromecast or Cast Devices via Google Home App:
- If your Google iWeb player is a Chromecast or Google Cast device, open the Google Home app on your iPad.
- Select the cast device (your smart TV).
- In the device settings, you can disable guest mode or unlink accounts to reduce automatic casting.
- You can also reboot the Chromecast or device from Google Home to reset connections.

4. Disable Network Access Temporarily:
- If you want to be sure no casting happens, you could temporarily turn off WiFi or disconnect the TV from your home network. This prevents the iPad from finding it.

5. Reset/Reinstall iWebTV App:
- If the app persistently auto-casts despite manual disconnection, try closing the app fully (swipe it away in the app switcher) and reopening.
- As a last resort, uninstall and reinstall iWebTV to clear cached device preferences.

By following these, you should be able to stop videos from automatically casting to the Google iWeb player on your TV from iWebTV on your iPad. Would you like me to guide you through any specific step in detail?

Are you satisfied with the solution I provided?
