[Q] [Question] Chromecast Mirroring - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
Im using a tab pro 12.2 and running stock rooted deodexed, and Im wondering if I buy the chromecast dongle - will I be able to mirror my device straight to the screen (I want to mirror custom videos not through youtube etc) with mxplayer pro. My TV doesnt have any sort of wifi, but it does have a hdmi slot - hence going with chromecast.

Yes there are ways to do this
The TV doesn't need WiFi, just your home and device (tablet, phone, PC)
I can only cast screen natively from my nexus devices or PC but there are apps that allow for this
Check the Chromecast threads for more info
Oh, and the best $35 I ever spent, over a year now and still use it daily

Ok thanks, didnt realise there was a specific chromecast forums

[Q] What is Chromecast??? a detailed info plz :)

Can anybody tell my what is chromecast?
i heared that you plug it to TV and send the info over Wi-Fi from a Device such as android
At first, is it "Mirroring" or similar to DLNA?
i mean it's just for Photos and Videos and vice versa?
I Actually Want to Browse the Internet on My Tablet while viewing it on the TV
Or Precisely, i want to use My Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 as a Mini-PC and this Tab dosen't support USB OTG or HDMI/MHL Capabilities
so Using a Bluetooth Mouse and On-Screen Keyboard with streaming to TV Over Chromecast would be Everything i want
i just want to browse Facebook, nothing else.

[Q] Want to stream video from phone to Vizio Smart TV

Hey guys, does anybody know of an app or a method that will allow me to stream video (not YouTube or Netflix) to my Vizio Smart TV? It's a really new TV with all kinds of features...I know I could simply hook up my MacBook to an HDMI port or even stream video via Apple TV, but I don't usually have those things in my living room. I'm just basically hoping to be able to stream a movie playing from an app like Showbox(or something similar to) to my TV, without any wiring. Samsung's screen mirroring feature would be ideal...if it wasn't limited to ONLY working with other Samsung products Anyways...please, if you can let me know of anything you've heard of, or have used that might make this possible, it would be greatly appreciated!!:fingers-crossed:
Unless Vizio has some type of app for their TV that I never heard of, there needs to be hardware plugged into the TV that receives the stream. Cheapest and easiest way to do this with android is a Chromecast, $35 bucks, I believe it can or soon will be able to fully mirror your screen no special root app required.
you can use the mdl to hdmi adapter from Sammy and keep a spare (but hidden) hdmi cable plugged into the tv. As far as wireless Chromcast
Did you find a solution?
Did you find an App solution for this? I recently purchased a Vizio and looking for the same?
Can some one help me play videos from phone to my vizo 70 inch smart tv I've tried everything the closest thing I've come up with is I media share but it doesn't allow me to watch it always states video, audio not supported
You need something on the TV Side - I used Fire TV stick

[Q] Solution for XMBC on Android TV

So my parents bought a Philips 48pfs8109/12 Smart TV (Android).
I want to set up something like Kodi so i can simplify the UI of the mediacenter we have, and to have them control the TV with the ipad.
I first looked at plex and tought i found the solution. So i bought a chrome cast and set everything up. The problem that occurred was that the video stutterd a lot because for some reason the streaming over wifi is not doing what is should do.
I do not think it is our internet speed since we have a decent connection and download and upload speed.
So since our TV is hooked up to the internet via Ethernet i wanted to use the TV as a receiver.
But the plex app kept asking for a PlexPass so that wasn't a solution either.
Then my eye caught XBMC or as it is called now Kodi but i cant find a way to set it up on my android tv.
I have rooted my tv, which i think means i can install unknown sources.
Maybe if i install the kodi android file on my tv. I will try that later today.
But if anyone knows a better way
PS: I also saw plexbmc and plexbmc helper which is nice because my parents like the plex ipad app.
Thanks in advance!
Install spmc from Google Play

Casting full screen

Hi there, I am trying to decide between a Dell Venue 10 7000 (looks great) and a Samsung Tablet S2 .
The Dell ticks all the boxes but I have seen enough people say they cant cast their screen to a Chromecast. I want this feature because I run some video apps such as NBC Sports Live which dont have Chromecast built in and I want to stream them wirelessly on TV. I can do it with my old Nexus 7 2013 beautifully.
Can anyone definitively verify if they can cast screen (not an app) to a Chromecast?
If its not possible how is it when you cast screen to a Dellcast (which I presume I plug into HDMI port on Samsung tv). Is it laggy or perfect?
Thanks,
Simon
Sorry, replied thinking you were talking about venue 7840. My mistake.

Does the Galaxy Tab S3 support Miracast or some form of screen mirroring?

I don't own a Tab S3 yet but I am considering buying one.
One of the required features on my list is the capability to wirelessly "mirror" or "cast" the display of my tablet onto a TV screen or projector.
Does the Tab S3 have this feature and does it work properly? (provided that the wireless network is decent)

Yes, you can cast your sceen using the Google Home app and a chromecast plugged into your TV. It works great with very little lag if any.
Thanks. I was actually looking for a solution that doesn't require an additional device. (I don't have a chromecast device and its not easy for me to get one)
