Anyone have chromecast working? - Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have 5.2.2 rooted as of now and I can not get chromecast to show up for the life of me.

but it is not working, that is why I was asking. The only thing I can get working is mirror from the chromecast app.

oh ... I have followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/how-to-upgrade-to-lollipop-root-gapps-t3163950 and it works fine ... I am using a previously configured Chromecast that was recognized fine without any particular procedure to follow

I don't have a chromecast device but a Samsung Smart TV.
Casting youtube videos onto the TV over Wifi works like a charm on my rooted Fireos 4.5.5 Fire HD 7.

What app are you using to cast? I haven't gotten one to work with my new Samasung Smart yet. (oh, I'm on 5.2.2. Maybe that matters.) thx

Just the youtube app from google apps. My Samsung TV(a 2012 model) has the Youtube app preinstalled and it just..worked.
I was genuinely surprised.

Videogames on tv with HDMI or DLNA, is it possible?

As in the object, does anyone has tried to play videogames on the Flyer connected to a TV through HDMI or DLNA ?
How is the experience? Positive? Marvellous?
I like playing Asphalt 6...and I was imaging how can it be playing it on TV

I've done it HDMI , works fine.
Certainly the picture quality is not as good as a Xbox or Ps3 and of course the controls are not as good.
Not sure that would work with DLNA, I doubt it and there would at least be a significant delay
Which games have you played?
Inviato dal mio HTC Flyer P510e usando Tapatalk
Whatever you can display on the Flyer screen displays also on the TV on HDMI.
I tried Madden 12, but you need to look at the touch screen to operate it successfully.
DLNA does not work that way, it allows you to share media ie. photos, music, movies.
I thought that with DLNA I'd have had less cables..so i'd have to drive my car in videogames better

I've played onlive with mhl and the onlive controller. It works awesome if you have fast internet. The controller can be a pita to connect

DLNA only let's you stream photo, music, and some kinds of video, so games wont work, at least not with htcs adapter

Hi there. So you're saying that you tried uninstalling flash and you couldn't uninstall it? There was also an update this morning. Is your flash player up to date?
Yea I updated to the most current flash..and when I open the July app..u can navigate to the free hulu site..and when I do..it says to please upgrade flash to 10.2 or above.
Although the free clips part works..I thought this app would allow the free hulu. Part to play..which it doesn't.
I tried uninstalling my current flash to see if it worked, but it didn't.
Worked great
When I launched it screen was a mess but once i logged in, que looked fine and video played great ... Everyday The Prime gets better and better

It's only for Hulu Plus subscriber. It's not a free service.
This is fantastic! Didn't feel like messing with the actual flash apk to get it to work and this saved me the hassle. Talented devs never cease to amaze me.

Your mod did work on build x.11, but I upgraded to .11.1, per the recommendation of the creator of the ViperMod root tool, and now your fix no longer works. I'm disappointed. Anyone not on .11.1, this Hulu Mod works great, if you're rooted of course.

I am not rooted and the apk worked for me. It seems a little buggy (it forced a reboot once, and timed out once, but then it proceeded to work), however, it did work at playing an episode of Parks and Recreation.
I don't even watch that much TV, but I like knowing that I can if I want too.

I'm on the latest flash update and I have no problems streaming Hulu from browser. Try running script manager again. I have the widget going so I can just one click it if for some reason it didn't activate on boot.

Old thread, I know, but I was glad to find it.
I was wondering if anyone else was having the problem I am having with this modded app. I can stream movies, or shows that don't contain ads just fine; however if a show begins with an ad, the player just sits and says it's buffering indefinitely. If I play an old movie that contains no ads, the video plays fine.
I am using a rooted TF201 with Virtuous Prime ROM.

I had this problem also and had to disable adaway or whatever ad blocker you are using prior to starting the hulu app.

Installed the app today and works fine until you plug in your micro hdmi out to your tv, then you get a wonderful message that hdmi output has been disabled and it stops streaming.
One day they will get it right!

Perfect. Thank you.
I hadn't consciously had an ad blocker running, but I installed adaway and disabled it. That did the trick! Thanks.

I tried to duplicate the problem but it works fine for me. Streams and scales perfectly. I'm running Virtuous Prime ROM; not sure if that has anything to do with it.

allshare play.apk

This worked on my galaxy nexus http://m.m3m0.bazaarandroid.com/app/market/com.sec.android.app.allshare/1200/428569/AllShare Player you'll have to install aptoide,which has apps just as the play store, but with no restrictions. try it and let me know if it work. Worked on 10.1 tablet too.
Just installed it on my galaxy nexus as well. Thanks for the link.
This I would love, but without having to install an extra app just to download.
I use Allshare Play on my computer to my phone when I'm out. Would be nice to have to use it on my tablet off the network as well.
Does the app still work if you uninstall aptoide?

You can try Twonky. With Twonky Beam you can even beam video from tablet to PC or Smart TV (only HTML5 sites).
I am using also MediaHouse (the Pro version, but the Lite works as well).

Thanks for the share.
Can someone upload the apk file cos I would like to added to my rom..?
Has anybody tried pushing the full Allshare package to the System Apps (IE Allshare Play, Allshare Controller, etc.)
One thing that bites is that while the included Allshare apk for this tablet is good for DLNA, it would be nice to have the remote access features of Allshare Play.
Sure, there are tons of alternatives, but Allshare/ Allshare Play has great privacy settings for DLNA so you can restrict access easily and access your home computer when you are away from your home LAN.
thank you

[Q] Throw / screen mirror no sound?

Hey guys,
I'm wondering if anyone has tried to "Throw" function which is mirror casting, and once paired you don't get any sound in the output. I tried this with the Amazon fire stick.
My wife has a nexus 7 2013 with Lollypop, and we have cast of movies off to the chromecast with no problem.
Also I once tried to mirrorcast of the chromecast and it wouldn't pick it up, but the YouTube app would.

I haven't retry it, I'm on a new hotel and let you know.
Back at home I use the function directly to my panasonic TV which has Cast capabilities and worked great.

Screen mirror?

I have a galaxy note 7 with kodi on it, is there a way to mirror, stream, or anything like that to watch kodi on my gear s from my note?
lol ...if you install the cm12.1 port you could watch it directly on the watch... might want the charger handy though.

That would be rooting the watch and directly loading kodi on the watch correct?

there's a full android 5.1 port in the dev section, it's not worth flashing this just to watch kodi on a 2 inch screen.
IMO stick with tizen and enjoy the watch.
it's an interesting read the development thread and the dev is very talented, take a look.
