The RTE Player android app now has casting functionality. Useful addition for anyone with a chromecast.

Thank you! About time the App/Player got an update. I knew the website was updated but tried the App there and its good! You can cast live broadcasts too!

Can just about manage to get things to play with an air mouse after sideloading it on to my android tv. Far from ideal. Maybe we'll see android tv support in 2030.

Edit: spoke too soon. It crashed 30 minutes in.

App looks quality in fairness, box sets are a nice touch. Will watch all 5 seasons of love/hate over the Christmas. Can watch rte in the bedroom now without having to get a poxy ariel.

Home screen, top right corner. Should also be available when playing a video.

Fingers crossed, The Android TV has been severely lacking. hopefully they get it out soon and it works well.

Thanks OP, bought ¹

Tried yesterday and it worked great for casting to my lenovo home hub. Haven't cast to the Shield yet but will give it a go later.

Great information in OP but not a fcking bargain.


Something that was always free (license fee apart) is still free.

Lots of apps get updates and they aren't in Bargain Alerts, because they aren't bargains.

Try these Netflix instructions (minus the Netflix specific part obviously). All devices need to be on the same WiFi by the way.

Yet you still felt the need to comment. I found op's post useful as it led me to see the new RTE player which has complete box set of Bachelor's walk and love hate amongst others.

I felt the need to comment because there is an android forum, a broadcasting forum and a television forum. As I said, it's useful but does not belong in this forum. Lots of useful sh*t could be posted here that people might like, like what time the big game is on, or news of a development in Dublin, or a nice recipe for Christmas cake. All great stuff but doesn't mean it should end up in this forum.


I'll say no more, as I don't want to go off topic :pac: except to say Harrumph.

I understand alot of people don't like what I'm posting and that's ok but I would really appreciate if they didn't make up stories and tell other people I'm saying things when I'm clearly not. I would also appreciate the toxic messages and threats to stop.

Are Dublin Bus perfect?? Hell No! But they don't deserve what the NTA and Government are putting them through. And I'm only trying to look out for the Drivers and make sure their name isn't dragged through the mud.

I have argued with DB drivers as well because they think all this will just go away without them doing anything!

It will go away but only when the NTA and Government have u all out of jobs and when Go Ahead are the new DB !!

Thing is nobody will do anything until there's God Forbid a tragic crash involving Go Ahead.

The majority of their management is under 27 they do not Vet their drivers there's no 12 week review! What part of that do u think is right???

DB's hands are tied not one of them lads can do anything including their management.

It's up to us THE PUBLIC the people who get on Dublin busses everyday to make a stand and do what's right! And that's to stop the PRIVATIZATION OF DUBLIN BUS!

Get up off your asses and stop waiting for other people to save a company that's been getting u around for the last 30 odd years!

PLEASE SHARE

AND LET THE GOVERNMENT AND THE NTA KNOW THEY'RE NOT PUSHING DUB BUS OUT!

Here, here. :P

Is the chromecast on the same wifi network?

Paddy_man

Tried to cast the liverpool game last night from my tablet and phone, neither would play.. showed as Casting on the App and just showed RTE logo on the screen, checked the cast button again and it said Casting - no content.

Hopefully they sort this sh1t out cause i wouldn't mind watching a couple of the boxsets over the christmas

I have a 2012 one with a custom rom that I use to this day.

2012. Never bothered trying to sort it's flaws with a custom ROM as phone screens just got bigger so switched to that mainly.

the first nexus 7 was pretty crap in retrospect.

the second version (2013) was a big improvement and can still work pretty well if you put a custom rom like lineage os 14.1 (nougat) on it.
you even get updates sent to you over the air.

Would you mind linking whatever custom rom you used, my old 2012 chugged along no matter what I did.

I also have an Amazon Fire 7" that I picked up for £35 in one of their sales. Those 2012 Nexus 7s have crappy slow NAND storage and no custom ROM is making that go away. Time to retire the beast.

Amazon had a deal on a huawei there a while ago so got that, the nexus is sitting on a self so would like to get it working if there was a way.
