Hello guys, I've created before very standard android apps with streaming links to lets say a football channels or golf, what I want to know is there software or a guide in creating an app with the casting option so i could cast to my chromecast? i know its not so easy but I'd like some info to get me started if anyone can provide it, I've got Android Studio installed and I'm assuming that's a start.
All I want to create is a bog standard app that once you click on a stream there is an option to cast over to the chromecast, I know I can screencast already but was looking to try something different. Any info or help would be greatly appreciated guys. thanks alot

Android app - multi-display video wall

Hi,
Thinking to develop am android app to display a video or part of the video on mutli-android phone device. It will support sync video and play it at the same time.
Anyone can give me some advice or idea how i can do it?
Thanks.
Im not really sure what you are trying to do. You want to display "part of a video"? Are you trying to output video from the device to a screen? Or from another device to the phone?
Anyway, I suggest you get the Android SDK from google. They basically tell you how to write apps. There are also books or classes you can take too.
So your wanting to make an app that allows you to share and play(synced) video over multiple phones?
Yes as above said you will first need to get the Android SDK, but to write this program you will need to be very skilled programmer with alot of times on your hands...
You will first need to know alot about networking, allowing you to connect to other phones and i assume create a buffer system then have all phones play at time that the buffers are reached to maintain steady flow based of network stats.
If you want to do streaming you will need to know even more, not to mention you will need to probably write your own video playing software.
OR you could simply write a program that links the x # of phones together and then streams from phone a to phones x-n through a 3rd party stream capable video player.

[Q] Google TV Addon Using Live TV on Application

Hi I'm an android developer, and just this week the new Google Tv Addon was released, so I started looking into it.
I found the Documentation horrible, I couldn't find any example, as a matter of fact the only code I found was a query for the Channel Listing ContentProvider.
So first, if some of you have already started developing for Google TV, could you share any valuable Examples or Info so we could all benefit
Second, I'm particularly interested on using something like Picture in Picture (PiP), to have my application maximized and Live TV on a small floating window; or having an app widget hovering or to the side of the Live TV app, does anyone know how to do any of these??

TV Program Recognition Software Help

Hi everyone. I could use some help in identifying an app I lost track of when I had to reset my phone. I found some app that when you point it at the tv set, it would identify what you're watching, what channel you're on and even tell you where in the program you were. I thought it was kinda cool and I have a colleague who's thinking up some uses for it from a business standpoint but I can't remember the app.
I know there's IntoNow that uses audio technology to determine most of the same things but this was purely a video capture/recognition tool. Does anyone have any idea what this app is? I don't think there's a whole lot out there but I can't find it in a google search.
Thanks for any help.

Don't think that's possible without some sort of interface that the phone and the tv can use together. That could be DNLA, bluetooth, or wireless, but I think any of those would take some effort on the user's part and knowing it's capable of doing it to begin with.
There are apps to control your computer, but those are far easier to do. There's one for winamp, vlc and media player classic home cinema, just to name a few.

Thanks for the email guys. The app is VideoSurf for anyone that wants to try it out. It's pretty awesome but I did find that it seems to take longer than IntoNow; perhaps cause it's processing the video and not just the sound?

I didnt think about it using the camera. Yeah, that's most likely.

Develop Android app

Hello, I hope it is the right section to post, I'm new.
Then I explain what my problem if someone experienced or to which they will help me. You know the app for Android ITALIAN TV (TV ITALIANE) Network that allows streaming italian channel tv rai and Mediaset? app well designed.
I decided I had to develop an app very similar to watching tv make Rai and Mediaset. I state that I am not a developer, i can use a online tool to create this app. More than anything else is the passion I have. Having said that we pass to the facts. If I want to put a channel into the player and make him play Vitamio or FPLAYER without advertising how do you know? it is complicated? I'd like to understand how it works. The app I'm already has developed and improved. The only flaw is that else is publicity d beginning 13 seconds and then closes and starts automatically. But if there was a way, like TV ITALIANE or mega one to start the video without advertising would fit better and especially to make them work better on tablets and smartphones. MANY THANKS TO ALL!
If you want to test my app and give me advice
View attachment 1143532
Sorry for the translation. Basically I would like to create an app to watch Channel TV streaming videos without ads and place them inside a plugin/player as vitamio or other programs how do you? equal to the app to see the American TV.
THANKS

Stream Deck for Android ?

Hi android enthusiast.
I wonder if you around here are also into PC game streaming. Like on Twitch or on youtube.
If so, you might have fallen over the new Elgato Stream Deck Hardware: https://www.elgato.com/en/gaming/stream-deck
Do you guys know if something similar and software based exists for Android?
Wouldn't it be great to manage your Streams but with your mobile phones?
Maybe one of you Magic Devs on here has a bit free time and could look into it and maybe it's possible to have an android stream deck on time.
regards
I know this is an ancient question, but just in case anyone is wondering you can create something similar using Tasker to do anything on an android. You can create a UI using AutoTools WebView. There are many ways to interface with the PC, but the integrated one would be to use Join and EventGhost.
