Chromecast Apps Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!

The Corinthian

There's a lot of demand and interest in Chromecast compatable apps in the Boards Android community and so in the interests of that community I'm setting this thread up so that people may inform on and discuss some of these apps.

Unfortunately, as we discovered in this earlier thread on the subject, it is a technology that can be used towards illegal ends; particularly the casting of copyrighted materials, and as a result that thread needed to be closed.

So this thread is here so that the community can get what it seeks, but I'm starting it afresh so that one thing is clear; any discussion on apps or methods, directly or indirectly, that result in any illegal activity will result in an immediate and permanent banning from this forum. Pleading ignorance will not be accepted as a defense. Hiding behind the use of code words to discuss such apps and warez will not be accepted as a defense.

How do you know if something can be discussed or not? Simple; if it has no real purpose other than to blatantly stream/cast copyrighted material, then it can't. If it has legitimate, legal and demonstrable, uses, then it can.

Please try to make this thread a positive one for the community. Thank you.

4 more apps for Chromecast.

Think this is more to do with chrome os ie Chromebooks as opposed to Chromecast.

I can't seem to get google music to cast, the app doesn't even have the "cast" icon.
Is this related to the Irish version of google music or is this working for other peps

Casting Google + photos is really hit and miss lately.
Keeps telling me that the photos must be backed up online first. They are all synced but only work every now and again.
YouTube also giving grief. Very low quality and a lot of buffering.
Used to love this yoke but now it's peeing me off.

Hey there, I bought a Chromecast a few days ago and loving it, its really cool to be able cast and mirror my nexus 7 onto my TV.

So this got me thinking, as I sometime teach night classes and use power point and white boards / flib boards quite a lot.

Is there any way I can cast my nexus 7 screen to my laptop so it can be projected, I believe because of the Analog sunset its not possible to hook up a nexus directly to a VGA output.

could be done device to device without both being connected to a common router.

The All Cast App is suppose to allow this but so far the app has not been updated with this function.

Would be interested to know if this is possible without rooting my device.

They are different products, it depends on what you want,.

I am wondering if n9 screen mirroring will adapt its form factor to 16:9 or will be 4:3.

One quick google "chromecast vs nexus player" I'm not yet allowed to post URLs.

I'd say chromecast is cheaper and available now and wait see after while if Android TV is taking off, it's not planned for a release outside of the USA right now.

TV box will have chromecast support already built in. TV box will apps to be installed on it, and controlled with a remote. But the apps have to be developed for it to support the remote. So I don't know if you can just install exitsting RTE Player on the TV Box and have it work without RTE releasing an app to support the box. If I want RTE player on my TV screen I have to cast it from chrome browser to chromecast. So for the moment I see no reason to switch.

Does anyone know if RTE Player plan chromecast support? I waited long enough for RTE player android app

The RTE Player doesn't support Chromecast, the app itself barely works for me lately, it crashed constantly while trying to watch the Ireland Germany game.

gerrybbadd

I think thats because it looks like RTE threw about a fiver at some random guy to develop the app.

The TV3 app looks like about €2.99 was spent on it as well.

Its an actual disgrace, that App.

To think so much of our money goes into that rotten borough, and they produce that!!!.

No, the chromecast dns settings override services like Hola so unfortunately it won't work.

There are ways of overriding the DNS settings but it depends on your router and setting up static routes

There was a thread last week or so in Android Devices (I think) but I cannot for the life of me find it now

A guy who had a paid for security app and tracked his phone down after it was stolen/lost and sold on.. anyone remember what the app was called?!

Edit: also just realised I posted this in the Chromecast apps instead of general apps.. sorry, haven't woken up yet :pac:

Didn't see the thread but it was probably cerberus.

There's now a way to cast Amazon Prime videos to chromecast. It's a 3rd party paid app. I'm going to try it soon, there's a 2 hour window to get your money back. I'm a prime member in Germany, although I have my chromecast set up to work with smartdns too.

Search for Primecast on Play store.

And now the above app has been pulled from the store! See [URL="`http://primecast-app.com/"]here[/URL]!

You could play your emulators on your phone and cast the screen to the chromecast.
