Has anyone tried casting to a Roku tv or screen share to one? Just found out the p6 wont do it and I can't seem to find an app to do it.
Pixel doesn't support miracast for screen mirroring. You can cast from inside some individual apps (I think youtube, netflix,) and the Roku app will allow you to cast photos and music from inside the app.

I've been using Web Video Caster for years now, on Roku devices works way better than the Chromecast which I own as well, hope this helps!

Which video caster. I just installed a dozen or so of them and it will hit all my google devices but not the roku.
I used to use All Cast to mirror to Roku - there's a Roku app you install and send it using the all cast app. Originally made by Koush, the legend! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.cast I haven't used it in a while.

Thanks man. For some reason the first time I downloaded it it didn't work but now it did. Any chance you know of a way to screen mirror?

What are you attempting to cast?
I know for something like Plex, you have to have the Plex app installed on the TV and then your phone acts as the "remote" controlling it.
On my 3 blue line. I don't know how but on Android 12 pixel dust I was able to screen mirror to me Roku ultra. Now I'm on pixel dust 13 and nothing but a bootloop when I try. I wish I could figure out what made it work
You can cast from inside some individual apps (I think Speed Test youtube, netflix,) and the Roku app will allow you to cast photos and music from inside the app.
I've been using AllCast for a fair while, and it seems to stream to anything I come across.
Might work for you!

will allcast work if there is no internet connection or cell service?
I don't know for sure but I wouldn't think so.
Castify. Or if you have a Roku Ultra. Or any I assume that you can insert a Flash drive - USB drive into. Create a text file. Get the link to the video. Not the webpage so a .m3u8 .ts type link like
https://server15.pelispluscdn.info/newhls/da2d03aaa61c8a07197a4edda0b89733/EP.6.0.v0.1679315043.m3u8
You can just type the link and save it as any name .m3u such as TV.m3u. If you want to add multiple you can at least on mine. Or make it
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF-
https://server15.pelispluscdn.info/newhls/da2d03aaa61c8a07197a4edda0b89733/EP.6.0.v0.1679315043.m3u8

either way works on mine as long as the USB drive is fast enough.
If course If you post a link to a website it's not going to work. The same link it sends with castify is the link you need.
You may need to insert the drive a couple times just hit the * button while at the screen that shows the drive and any DNA servers not the files inside. Turn on Search internet for thumbnails and request file type on start. Then select the USB drive and hit stay again. Make sure you search all media type and playlist mode is on. The m3u will show up as an audio playlist and you can select the link to play a stream.
I attached the same file I clicked on in the video I am attaching. Change the file extension to .m3u and give it a try. If your don't have USB support. Then I don't know how else besides Castify or Rcast. I am curious to know if this works for you tho. It loads slowly but this method will read a m3u playlist for tv as long as it's not a playlist that includes VOD and way to many channels. I took my playlist and edited out all the links for the TV streams and made each channel its own file so it loads the list quickly.

Here are some great alternatives to netflix for your touchpad.
Hulu , works great but you may need to patch your browser to make it work.
epctv.com , watch live online tv, I watch CNN live on here.
crackle.com , they have a big selection of movies. Its not netflix but hay its free.
zinc.tv , you really should check this out. Online media center for your touchpad. Watch all kinds of shows for free with a great interface.
Epixhd.com - Great alternative to Netflix.
some of these sites may not work with ad blocker installed.
if anyone can think of others, please share.
tv.blinkx.com
and
sidereel.com
they host LINKS to sites that host the episodes so as far as I know (I could easily be wrong) it's legal.
If you have a hbo subscription wwwhbogo.com.
EPIXHD.COM works great on the TP. Just watched The Captains on it in HD.
thanks for the links!
rlee
This is a GREAT list!
Any idea how someone would be able to watch/listen to NFL games on the touchpad, or even at all? We recently moved 2 states away and won't be able to follow our local team.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

probably using espn online since it's flash.
Also, al jazeera english has a live tv stream for news on youtube.com
"wwitv.com" EXACTLY like that. Its a crappy site but a great way to watch live broadcasts. I'm watching Fox's live broadcast from NY right now. Decent framerate, always live.
there is also orb streaming for the touchpad - (http://forums.precentral.net/hp-touchpad/294298-orb-media-streaming-awesome.html)
I've use orb in the past with dishnetwork, works great.
im looking forward to netflix finishing their switch from silverlight to html5 video. they already did for chrome os. when everything is sorted out on it, itll be open to linux and the others soon, and hopefully we can watch it in the touchpads browser soon.

Netflix is not currently available for WebOS devices. The forum at slickdeals suggests to reply to @Netflixhelps on Twitter and request an official release of the Netflix streaming app for WebOS.
Hulu is also not currently available for WebOS devices. There is a workaround I found posted, but that I personally have not tried. I will edit this post after I try it to let you know how it goes. Google "prewarewebosbuzz Hulu". First result.
You can stream video content from your PC to Touchpad by using Tversity. From slickdeals:
1. Install Tversity media server on your laptop/desktop.
2. After installation, add the files you want to view on the library tab. To add an avi file, go to Library, File system, Files and click add item on top.
3. Open cmd prompt on your computer, and type "ipconfig" There you should find your IP address. Note this down.
4.On your touchpad, open a web browser, then type in :41952/flashlib after your IP address. For example, h t t p : // 192.168.1.0 :41952/flashlib
There you should be able to browse your folders to find the video you are looking for. One problem is that you can't rewind/forward etc.
Again Slickdeals:
Amazon Video On Demand/Prime Videos works runs rather well. Audio holds up well but you might need to use the pop out function on the player over full screen to get it to fill the screen. It might lag when first starting it up but pausing and allowing it to buffer will allow it to self correct.

Has anyone here tried the "MyNet" feature of the tablet to control a computer through your tablet? How do you like it?
I'd like to take advantage of that for websites which stream video but are not compatible with mobile browsers of any kind. It would probably require being on the same wifi network but either way, pretty neat.
BTW, I love my Prime!! Got the issue with gps signal capture but I got my cell phone to direct me if I'm lost in my car.

The app is called splashtop. I believe there are a couple of threads talking about this application. Just to let you know there is a THD version that is up on the market now that works better and faster then the bundled version though it costs money. I am using it now and can connect to my home computer from work and its super fast. I love it. Use it at work all the time during meetings to connect to my desktop. The bundled version will close the connection on you due to a bug in that version. The THD version does not have this issue.
Just my 3 cents.

actually hes talking about the MyNet app that comes with the prime
its not a desktop mirroring tool it just allows streaming of media (pics videos music) to the prime from a pc
its actually pretty cool in how well it does it but it can stream MKVs though
It also allows the downloading of the files from the pc to the prime...its a nice way of moving files without having to plug in or use a sd card or dropbox
i wish it allowed folder downloading or multiple downloading rather than having to do a single file at a time.
Yeah, the MyNet app is a DLNA app for streaming media between DLNA devices. To me it seemed to be a decent proof of concept app, but I have found three apps that do a better job: 2player, BubbleUPnP, and iMediaShare.
iMediaShare can stream from several internet sources to your DLNA devices, but it's unfortunately still not optimized for tablets. It forces you into portrait mode.
For streaming music from my Prime to my blu-ray/stereo, I typically use BubbleUPnP.

Well when you read the op he states talking about controlling your laptop.....was confusing.....i use MovieBrowser UPnP.....just love the way it organizes the movies.......
So Op, sorry for the confusion.
I've used both apps and had good success with them.
I really like the MyNet app though as its a simple program that lets my stream movies/tv shows from my NAS to the TV in my bedroom. No more lugging the laptop up the stairs and clearing a space to put it!

Are you sure you mean the mynet app or do you the splashtop hd remote pc access function in the my cloud app?
From reading your poast I think that you mean teh My desktop feature in the my cloud app which is splashtop HD remote app which links up with a splashtop streamer app on your PC !! and this does not require you to be on the same wifi connection...I often use it to connect to my pc when away from home to check on email accounts etc
I'm sorry, it is the "mycloud" icon on the screen that I meant. From there you find the "my desktop" option which uses splashtop.
i know it is off topic....but i have used PhoneMyPC for years. love it. great app for controlling your various PCs from your android.
Loving mynet, works flawless with all my gizmos. Sitting waiting for someone to start using cornerstone in a rom and i will use it as my main tv interface.

You didn't use use google didn't you?
http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/airplay
One option would be doubleTwist with the optional AirSync plug-in (which adds the Airplay functionality). Otherwise, you could just mirror the Prime's display using the micro hdmi output directly to the television for a wider choice of content.

But this doesn't mirror the Prime's screen, which is what I'd like to be able to do. AFAIK that isn't currently possible. Correct me if I'm wrong. We have an AppleTv in one of our conference rooms at work and I would like to link to it for presentations, etc.
Thanks for the responses. It seems that the solution I'm looking for does not exist. Shame... I will however install one of the airplay apps & see how that works out.

I do actually. Do you understand the question I asked, because your link doesn't answer my question...
If you have a 3rd Gen Apple TV then doubletwist doesn't work with Video. It works well with Audio. I had a case going on with doubletwist where they ended up refunding me the cost of the Airsync plug in as it wasn't working as it was supposed.
I think with 2nd Gen Apple TV you might be alright, but I haven't tried it.
I was trying out an app called 'iMediaShare' or something of the likes the other day. I was able to go through photos, videos, music (as long as it is stored on your device and not in gMusic), and youtube over an Apple TV. Looking through it, I do not see any way to go through PDFs or CAD designs though. For everything, your best bet as of now would be to use the mini HDMI and find separate apps for everything.
I have tried both AppleTV media player & iMedia player, but I cannot even see the Apple TV in the devices list. Its a third gen...

My PS3 and my smart tv pickup my windows computer over wifi enabling me to show pictures music and videos on it. Im assuming this is a windows feature that allows it to show up like that. Is there any type of app that can fake the tv I to thinking my phone is a wi dows media?
I may be using wrong technology terms here but hope what I am saying makes sense
Hey,
There are many apps for that in Google Play, the technology is called "DLNA", just look for that in Google Play.
I use imediashare for displaying videos and pictures on my Sony TV. But with this app you normally send your media to the TV, and not the other way round.
Just try it!

So here's my bright idea (*note May not be an original idea)
I have a tablet I'd like to use as a back seat media player in my car. Kids are too young to operate. I would like to be able to sit in the passenger seat, pick up my phone, and select a movie to stream to the tablet. What app will do that?
I tried googling but all I can come up with are controlling your desktop or tv with your phone and controlling your phone from your desktop.
Can't you do such things with bluetooth?
I am not sure myself is the reason for the ?.
