MX Player, if your still using official version has been updated with chromecast support for local media (on device), no network streams local or otherwise.

Did you miss my posting about it? (19-07-2019, 17:03 )
Or are you talking about Pro Version, which may have been finally updated (9th) to include it?

Also last time I checked it was for local on device media and not network streams local or otherwise.

Yeah, I had spotted your original post as its the reason I'd been keeping an eye out for it. I responded to your original post saying I was awaiting the change to the pro version.

A 40 minute video auto restarted once which is one of the issues I have with VLC.

It is over 3 years old, and has been adapted by emergency services in the UK.

Pin points down to 3x3m square, your home address could have a quite few 3 words to describe it.

Handy to find your car in an airport or shopping center car-park, as long as it is not multistory, you would still need to remember what level. App itself doesn't need a connection. Unless your connecting/navigating/searching with google maps etc.

Here I must recommend the autoaddress app which does 3 words, Eircode and Google maps. It's brilliant

PowerAudio Pro Music Player €0.59 to free again.
^^^ Mentioning because Bluetooth Play/Pause is broken at present in PowerAmp. Been using this instead at present.

Samba Server
At the start of the year and again a month ago, I mentioned that Samba Server is builtin windows, also available on Linux (Macs have it as well). Which allows easy wifi transfer of files. Without requiring a third party service (dropbox, gdrive). You can utilize apk's liked 'Solid Explorer' to transfer files.
^^^ Above prompted by this:- Wireless Transfer of Files, PC to Android

[ZDNET] Microsoft starts rolling out another new Android app, SMS Organizer
Microsoft's SMS Organizer, which started as a Garage incubation project, is an example of another of the company's growing stable of Android productivity applications .

XDA Developers says SMS Organizer is rolling out more broadly now for customers in the U.S., U.K. and Australia via the Google Play Store.

Has anyone found SMS Organizer (sic) on the play store?
I read something yesterday that lead me to believe it's still in the invite only stage

EDIT: Found it! "This item is not available in your country."

Found it through the web. Not available to download for me.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.android.smsorganizer&hl=en

limited to the UK, US, and Australia right now.

https://www.theverge.com/2019/8/19/20811927/microsoft-sms-organizer-android-app-uk-us-australia-spam-filter

Ah yes, that's what I saw yesterday that lead me to not checking the Play store.

The MS SMS app might be bad timing on MS's part, if Google push through RCS on their own app, people might not want a 3rd party app for SMS, unless they are allowed to access the RCS features too!

I actually quite liked the MS launcher too, but I couldn't commit to it at the time for some reason and went back to Nova. Might check it out again.

ADM Pro removed from play store. <<< Rumor mill ~~ Active!

Reddit Post!

If you have ADM Pro and still want updates etc, you will need to contact the developer for a code to remove ads from the free version.

Get email required from Play listing.

Although he said to remove the pro version, from your device, it is possible to have both versions on your device.
