kodi - Google Chromecast 2015

Is it possible on the Chromecast 2 to install kodi nativity so I don't have to stream from phone or computer

No. You'll still need to do it the old fashioned way with a 'playercorefactory.xml' file in the kodi folder on your phone or tablet. However there is an app that helps with that on the PlayStore called 'Switch for Kodi'

Android OS for Desktop Computer

I'm wanting to have the Android OS on my Desktop computer. For a media center, as the android market has HBO, Netflix, Showtime, ect. I have a Dell Vostro 410 Desktop Computer. How do I get started, I'm using a Ethernet in order to get internet. Cause the main purpose is for media.
It's possible, take a look at android-x86.org
But you will run into problems with those types of apps complaining about your device being rooted or otherwise unsupported. Also, since your device is not supported by Google, Google Play Store won't work.
Really you would be better sticking to a more supported Desktop OS.

I agree that it seems an unusual choice but you can get round the market restrictions using the patched version of play store app which is available in one of the forums here at xda I think.

from my understanding the Android SDK has a built in emulation for android, so i guess you could try it. Dont think you can Root the thing tho.

The main reason why I want my desktop computer to run on Android, is to make a Entertainment computer. A computer that connects to my TV and can watch HBO GO, Netflix, Showtime, Youtube, Ect.

It has an option to make the system file read and write. So Root is usable, but I want to make a recovery on the computer, like I want to go into clockworkmod onto the computer.

Would it not be easier to use windows and the variety of free software for it to do so? You can hook pc up to tv and get a remote control so you could control pc with it, there are programs out there designed for such purposes, I used one years ago when I built a mame arcade cabinet that could also record tv and stream videos etc.
Get the x86 android release and if it does not work maybe try using windows as its unlikely android will be smooth enough on your pc because it won't have optimised drivers for your hardware.

I agree to others stating to use an actual computer OS. Have you looked into the wonderous works of Linux? There are endless builds out there. Plus with IE9 i know you can make custom shortcuts, like desktop icons, that when you launch them it will take you directly to netflix and log you in.

I suppose the simplest approach would be to set windows up so desktop icons can be opened with one click. Then if you had a remote control you could use it to start the different things you want by using it to click on saved desktop shortcuts. Elesbb is right that it is a solution you could try.
Alternatively you could try media server which does have a netflix plugin.

I have to agree. I think a windows box with a good media remote would be the best solution. That way it can be easily upgraded and drivers, drm, etc won't be an issue. Windows 8 is pretty touch oriented and might look nice as a media center.
That way when you want to upgrade hardware or OS you won't be stuck waiting for full driver support or patches and rewrites. I would also think it would be more powerful/feature-full for recording live TV etc.
Anything is possible though, and the Android x86 project would definitely be the place to start if you must go the Android route. Why not buy a high end Android tablet and run hdmi and then remote control that. I know that most peripherals exist in USB form, but I'm not sure how Android would handle, say, a USB TV tuner...

There is one problem with your request. The Netflix APK is specifically designed for ARM and not x86 and as of right now there are no known x86 Netflix ports. So, Netflix will not work.
While Android x86 is smooth its hit or miss on some machines. I am running ICS from a live boot usb drive on my old Toshiba A135 S4467. It is by far faster to surf the internet and check emails and such with Android than my Windows install. The volume however is extremely low and only works through headphones on my laptop. Auto rotate can be an issue.
I would strongly recommend looking into XBMC for Windows instead, it is a very highly regarded media centre software, and has plugins for most Internet content sources e.g. Netflix etc. Much more workable than an Android emu.
If you have $49 spare VIA have just announced a nice Android PC which might be of interest rather than try to make your current PC an Android one. It has 720p H264 video playback, comes pre installed with Gingerbread with 2 gigabytes internal memory and 512 mb ram.
I wrote it about on my blog (Google Current link is in my signature), you can find out more in my blog or direct from VIA.

Stream movies from Phone to Samsung TV wireless? (How to)

Hi guys, just bought a Samsung smart TV and I wanted to know if and how could I stream movies from my phone to the TV Wireless.
I'm currently running Cm9. If there is an app required can someone upload it please.. thanks
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
You need all share to stream stuff on your smart tv. I don't know if all share works with CM9 though. All share is included in the stock Rom, so maybe if you ask somebody he/she will extract it for you do you can try it on CM9
it works on stock
Dont know about CM9, but with the stock rom, you just need to make sure your TV and Phone are connected to the same wifi and then you play your file on your phone. A symbol at the top of the stock player shows a 'choose your player' dialogues and then you choose your TV. Its starts playing either instantly or with a prompt on your tv, depending on your tv setup. I have mine set to auto accept. Works with photos and videos. I have tried with 1080p movies and it works without a problem.
Tv is LG LM670T. 3d smart. its gorgeous
I think most recently manufactured tv hs dlna.
Just search your tv model on Internet then you should be able to find out.
If so, then download bubbleupnp app from play store. You can either set up another server on your computer, which I do, using plex server, which you can download for free for your pc. Or you can use your phone as the server as well.
You can control all the streaming from your pc to your tv or phone to tv right from the bubbleupnp app. Very cool. If you install the extra bubbleupnp server on your computer, you can even stream remotely. Very easy to set up and very cool. Real cool.

If I understand well, you have two options: (1) stock Samsung rom and AllShare Cast (it needs Samsung framework, hence CM will not work) or (2) use DLNA (check if your TV supports it, but I guess so) and one of the apps mentioned above (which will also work in CM as it should support DLNA).

Miracast or wireless display.

As TEGRA 3 supports Miracast I was wondering how to use it with the prime. Any ideas?
And also, is there any other good way to stream the prime's display directly to a TV, wireless.

This forum is getting dead. good questions going on unanswered..
the prime comes with anynet by asus that does exactly this.
Sv: Miracast or wireless display.
Well, how to you play to something then? Because I can only seem to play to my Prime. There is a play to button, but the only alternative is the tf201. And also that wouldn't share the screen to a tv, or would it?

both devices need to be on the same network for starters. My samsung plasma needed to agree to the connection first and that was somewhere in the tv settings then it showed up as an option in the play to menu. My new Vizio does not come with that functionality though. I does however still play the files from my prime using its own menu as I have enabled the sharing of media files wehn the mynet software came up asking for permission. So there are a couple of ways the connection can be made to play your media on your tv from your prime.

If the device is DLNA compatible then use Skifta. I find it far easier.

There is a lot of difference between dlna and miracast.
Dlna = Prime can share files that other devices can see and play...
Miracast = mirroring what u see on prime to any tv.
With miracast, u can Play games like temple run by watching your tv, but still swiping on ur tablet.
To op's qn...Miracst will be supported with 4.2 android version.. i think statement has been made by nvidia as well confirming this for tegra 3. Google.
All u need is a netgear ptv3000 device hooked onto yout tv that will wirelessly connect with your tablet.

Ah, ok that's a bit sad then.

Prime does not support miracast yet , so dont know.
Samsungs allshare cast works damn nice for screen mirroring. You can pair the dongle with the tablet and start stop mirroring anytime you like. I have a note 10.1 tablet and galaxy s3, and I mirror them both on tv to play games watch movies.
Dlna is different than miracast... once I can mirror, I dont think u will need dlna that much.
I am banking that samsung allshare cast, miracast and intel widi will all merge into one protocol, and it would be lovely then.

Yes it does work with other manufacturers but right now you'll need a samsung device which is running a Sammy rom to use the allshare app. Though dlna is a really nice feature

I sideloaded the latest version of the Xfinity TV app version 3.1.0.014
The app does not support proper navigation with android tv remote as it is intended to be used on a touch interface.
You can however connect a mouse via USB OTG and use the app. I have watched around an hour of TV on the app and did not have any major issues.
It is a little buggy at times exiting and re-entering the app and I have had a force close but it is usable.
Once they update for Android TV support I will be very happy. (I am hoping they update for Android TV support. I haven't found any information to say they are for sure.)

Comcast released another app update today. Hopefully it didn't break things for you, let me know how it goes, I am thinking about getting a Nexus Player for this app. I doubt they will ever support Android TV, they would be losing $10 per month from folks who are currently renting their own comcast boxes for additional TVs.

has anyone figured out why the Xfinity TV app closes or how to fix this I have the newest version installed on my nexus player and on my nvidia shield and on both devices the app closes after about 10 minutes of watching a live or on demand show and goes back to the Home screen? On my fire stick the app doesn't close but I get other playback error on live channels. The TV to Go app works 100% on my correctly it never closes but it lacks a channel guide and DVR abilities so I would rather use the X1 TV app instead. any suggestions on how to get the app to stop closing back to the home screen?
as a side note for those trying to find a controller solution, I use a QQ-Tech Mini Bluetooth Keyboard W Touch pad for Android OS Windows from Amazon for about 20 bucks. I use this for all 3 of my boxes to control the Xfinity TV and TV to Go apps it works grate its about 7 inches long so about the size of a TV remote. mine is rechargeable with a light up keyboard. this will also make using Chrome and other sideloaded apps on Android TV so much easier to use.

Understood, i refuse to get X1 because right now i pay 80 Bucks for 150 Channels + HBO and 75Megabit Internet. I don't need a DVR made by them, nor do i need anything else they deem fancy. I wouldn't have Comcast at all if i could have the option, but they are the fastest within 100 feet of my location. Lot of OTA DVR Options Exist, some are like 10-15 Years Old. (The PSX Console was a PS2 with built in DVR if that says anything). i Have a hacked Roamio i use to record stuff.

The Xfinity TV app (not TV Go) works, but sometimes looses track of the "Home" network.
We are using a friend's login info to test it- Our 2 NP's both have M 6.0.
It will not work out of the box hardwired for channels you have not viewed before- i.e on your "previously viewed channels" list, prompts you to use your cellular data connection, but has an "allow just this time" link that will let it through a LAN.
Seems the TV (not TV Go) app keeps track of the WiFi connections and designates one a "Home".
I have renamed my 2 access points the same name, with same SSID and passwords- it worked great for a day, then started locking me out of new channels.
ES FileExplorer lets you ftp into the NP with the LAN---> Remote Manager, so I will be copying the X-TV data over and see if that works.
As a side note- I will be testing the TV Go app found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63688527&postcount=39
I found this Rii that works quite well for the NP in general, and the trackpad seems very good to me, especially double-tap, hold and swipe.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B9996LA/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=
I wanted a 2.4 ghz romo, because I read many comments about BT sleeping issues.
The rest of my setup has this hub-

and this UBS to RJ-45 adapter.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JWXTOIA/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=
All work with the NP
**Edit**
Sytanek's app mod at the link above works excellent on our stock NP with M 6.0.1
Can anyone confirm the apps still work on our NPs as of today?
I am moving and the place I am heading to doesn't have other options but Comcast... this would be great in cutting some of those "rental fees" on additional cable boxes.
I can't get Xfinity TV to work on my Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 with cyan 13.0....just buffers then returns
I need little help here. I installed the app and when i click get started it redirects to dolphin browser and when i log in i get some error message. I can't get this app working.

Is this a clone of another more known tv box? (x-view droidbox)

Hi there
For many reasons my parents ended up with 2 of this device:
http://x-view.com/audio-video/droid-box
ITs an AMLogic s905 (1gb ram, 8gb storage) device that SHOULD be compatible with the android tv remote (stated on their site).
I updated it right away, and noticed that the playstore and netflix apps on the original firmware were really different from what i know, but after the update they are most likely phone/tablet apps.
Never tested playing a video in netflix or using the remote app on the original firmware.
I would love to update it to something... better ,since now they CAN watch netflix (phone app), but controlling it is a nightmare.
Youtube is the leanback one, and i had to manually update it cause the stock one crashed each time video buffered, and the updated one pauses A LOT (not an internet problem, it works fine on pcs and phones on the same house).
Just getting the android tv control app would fix their netflix woes (i have the youtube issuse with the second device, they dont watch it).
Tried installing a moded netflix for android tv, and it can be controlled ok, but since its widevine L3 device it plays only 1 second or so.
i was able to restore the original firmware.
Now most apps are the android tv ones, and the remote app from google works.
Netflix is still the phone app, and control still sucks on it XD
Hi, could you solve the Netflix issue?
