Stream NFL and/or MLB Smoothly

When I cast a tab playing MLB TV or the NFL preseason games they do not play smoothly at all - lots of hiccups and stutters. It is not watchable at all. Not only that, but playing a fullscreen game on my TV (through chromecast) will then take up my entire computer screen as well, no doing anything else. Netflix, youtube, the things that are built in for chromecast work great, but casting a tab is not the same. It is delayed and slow - also using a totally different streaming/casting method then netflix, etc...

I believe I have all my network settings dials in properly (router, chromecast settings, etc...) but could be totally wrong.

For those that are saying they are watching HD baseball or football on their TV through chromecast, how exactly are you doing this and having a watchable experience with no audio/video hiccups?

Thanks

tab casting is pretty resource intensive. my net book and 6yr old dell inspiron struggle to tab cast but my retina macbook pro is smooth. I read that it cna be smoother if the source is hardwired into the router
[Google Chromecast] tfly212:
Got my Chromecast today...set up was a snap. Almost shockingly easy...connected my laptop and Note 2 immediately.

I was able to cast a tab pretty successfully...tried it with YouTube and the with Watch ESPN3 as a test (women's softball). It wasn't HD quality but no real video lag and the audio matched up well. Totally watchable. This is using a fairly high end lenovo laptop and the FIOS 50 Mbps wifi N.

I know the tab casting is definitely considered experimental so hopefully it will improve.
[Google Chromecast] ItsDayDreamer:
While I can't help you with your network settings, if you hit Alt + Tab while watching something fullscreen you'll be able to still use your computer. (At least in windows)
[Google Chromecast] lovekeiiy:
Unfortunately, it's hard to say why. Could be your machine isn't powerful enough or local network congestion. I have similar issues, but not nearly as bad as you were experiencing. I know I have some network congestion, but that machines I tried from are only dual core machines, but with plenty of RAM.

Personally, I have a HTPC specifically to be able to watch sports online on the big TV. So, the Chromecast isn't going to replace it anytime soon. The HTPC is just way more robust.

this would be more interesting when, and if, NFL adds the Chromecast extensions to the NFL Game Pass mobile app (NFL Game Pass mobile. Then you don't need to try to cast from the tab, which can be a bit of pain.

Plus, the NFL still to fix the non-disappearing game banner on the multiview game options on the PC. On the PC, you can use a pick up to 4500bps feed, which the mobile goes up to 1600bps (I think). A tablet may go higher.

this might have made me finnally purchase a chrome cast

I used it with my computer and chromecasted it to my tv. If i connect my phone to the vpn and open the gamepass app it asks me to log in. Does this not happen for you with the app?

How did you get this to stream full screen? I tried vipbox last night but could only get it in a small box

How do I cast the game to my tv? When I'm on the game pass website and I click watch it opens a new window and I don't have an option to cast it.

Nevermind. I figured out. Right click and select view as tab
[Google Chromecast] herculese1:
It shows the password on the website. if its just a blank space you may need to try it on a different web browser. For some reason my chrome browser does not show the password but internet explorer does. My phone browser shows it as well. The password changes so the password depends on when you are accessing it.
[Google Chromecast] buddywiser:
Do you think people will be reselling the Code on ebay and keeping the game? I just want the code. There are a few people selling the game only for $50 or so. I might do that and sell the game, but not sure if I should wait to see if anyone starts selling the code. Of course, that might be risky since they could just write the code down.
[Google Chromecast] tfly212:
I hope not....this is a really good deal as is and I hope people don't screw it up by trying to scalp it. I can just see direct TV getting flooded with complaints because their code (from eBay or wherever) isn't working. Might make them think twice about doing this again.
[Google Chromecast] dadoc04:
TBH... It'd be easier n safer to buy the game. Then just flip it for 30 bucks or so. You are pretty much guaranteed to be able to sell it.
[Google Chromecast] aburns7487:
Im very intrigued how you chromecast anything besides netflix and youtube so far? I have galaxy note 10.1 and galaxy s4. Hp Laptop windows vista (hardly ever use it anymore).....I have nfl game plan. I signed up for pre & regular season for fantasy football purposes $130. I signed up for unblock-us.com ($5/month). I use static ip on any wifi under advanced settings (dns1 I put 208.122.23.22 and then in Dns2 I put 208.122.23.23) and game plan works perfectly no blackouts like directv app has. It also has nfl network & redzone tabs within app. Very nice feature. I wasted $250 last yr on directv app since I couldnt get signal to have directv itself. It always blacled.out local games or games not soldout. Then I would have to use a location spoofer pro to try and move around to get the games. It was a major pain for the amount I spent. Ive already tested preseason. Love it! Now im just lookibg for the chromecast cast feature to work. I have a allshare cast hut my phones rooted so it wont work. I havent figure out how to get it to yet. I know its like stock kernel or something plus triangle away, but its still just a pure mirror. I love the chromecast part of casting and using it to do other things.

Sorry for long comment

Thanks
[Google Chromecast] ryudo423:
Has anyone had luck casting the official NFL Preseason live package? It opens in a new window and I casted the entire screen to get it show up. Quality was horrible and the sound was coming from my computer. I have an older mac and it seemed that the tab casting was really bogging the thing down. I'm hoping to use this with the Madden deal as well and will be pretty disappointed if this doesn't work out.
[Google Chromecast] srgibbs99:
Just from reading this and other threads its seems like the "beefiness" of the casting device certainly matters for the resulting quality. Not sure exactly why. Anyone casting from a nice, new, beefy PC that is having issues?

NFL Ticket on Madden

Thanks for the heads-up! I'm in on this deal too. Although are you sure you will be able to stream the Direct TV streaming app through Chromecast? I'm debating which device to set this up w/. My Nexus 4 phone or my computer which I have hooked to my TV. If the Chromecast does stream this it will definitely be my Nexus 4. I have a Touchpad but I heard this won't work w/ jailbroken devices. Just curious what else you have found out about this?
[Google Chromecast] cdrshm:
I think you will need to stream this from the chrome browser...but I may be wrong...
[Google Chromecast] lovekeiiy:
you need to do it from your Chrome browser on your PC. DirectTV may have a mobile app, but it I highly doubt they'll have the Chromecast extensions built into it, at least as of yet. On top of that, you'll be able to use the higher bit rates offer on the PC versus the mobile app.

I don't know if the code includes it, but I know DirectTV offers the Sunday Ticket package on the PS3.

It should be noted, I don't use the DirectTV Sunday, but I do keep on eye on it. I use the NFL Game Pass service, which offers all the live games, replays, coaches film, nfl network, replays of various NFL Network shows, and redzone (what's accessable is region dependent). I'm aware of what's offered, just don't know all the details.
[Google Chromecast] tfly212:
It should work by tab casting. (I have tested tab casting Sling box and Espn3 and it worked well). I have used the internet version of the NFL Sunday Ticket for the last 4 years (they originally only offered it to residents of Manhattan who couldn't put a dish in). They used to support an app, but fornthe last couple of years it has been browser only. I would suggest using an Ethernet cable to your PC though....I found that to be much better than WiFi, but YMMV

[Google Chromecast] jcissell:
I've watched preseason games and hulu by casting a tab and they work great. Every now and then the games may get a little off with sound but it usually corrects. Hulu usually always works well. I'm using a nice computer with a solid state drive though.

[Google Chromecast] tfly212:
Watched the 49ers/Vikings on NBCsports.com tonight and tab casted successfully. Audio was in sync and video quality. while not 1080p. was definitely acceptable. Go Niners!

[Google Chromecast] aburns7487:
Any chance mobile chrome browaer can cast? I dont get why you can use it from a computer but not mobile. ..
[Google Chromecast] knives of ice:
hopefully the Sunday ticket streaming is different than preseason on nfl.com the way they open a game window it was impossible to stream via tab casting in chrome
[Google Chromecast] c683:
Not sure if it is the same as in game pass but if just a video window opens, you have to right click the title bar and select to show it as a tab in Chrome I think, I actually can't remember the exact selection but I missed the first pre season Bronco game because I thought the same thing until I found that option by accident!
[Google Chromecast] inthepit:
it is completely possible. you just had to right click the top of the windows and click view in tab, then it has the cast button.
[Google Chromecast] knives of ice:
damn...never knew that trick. thanks

[Google Chromecast] aburns7487:
It is a virtual private network. Some sites can be blocked at different places such as work or public places. This is a work around, which makes the app or site think you are somewhere else when it goes to check you ip address, which sometimes depending on certain situations will then not allow app or website to function.

The tab casting currently is only available from google chrome browser on a computer, non-tablet/mobile phone. It allows different content to be streamed wirelessly to your tv with chromecast.

Just got my Sunday Ticket login info, everything worked and I noticed they are using Flash Player for the stream that they have on the portal page. So, assuming that is their player of choice then tab mirroring from chrome should be working for this (unless they have a trick up their sleeve?)

Combine this with my VPN account to show me out of state and I should be getting the full season with no blackouts on the big screen. :silly:

Success here too...Amazon delivered at least 4 of them to my building tonight. We were all joking about it in the lobby...probably going to break sales records by capturing a bunch of people who would never have bought madden 25.

Picture Quality??

I'm trying to see if anyone here has actually used chromecast for the Sunday Ticket maybe for pre-season? Can anyone comment on what kind of quality it is?

I ordered my anniversary edition the other day when I heard about this.

Thanks!
[Google Chromecast] bozzykid:
There is no preseason Sunday Ticket. The preseason package is offered by the NFL while the Sunday Ticket package is provided by Directv so you can't really compare.
[Google Chromecast] mjs2011:
Sounds like Sunday Ticket Max will be showing preseason games tonight for testing purposes.
[Google Chromecast] Toad858:
I have a question for everyone. Since it is confirmed that the web/flash based Sunday ticket is usable with chrome, do you think I will run into any issues if I use my Acer c7 chromebook? And If I can't get chromecast running properly, do you guys think I will have any issues just using and HDMI cable to play it on my TV? Thanks in advance
[Google Chromecast] mjs2011:

[Google Chromecast] TheLoonyRebel:
From my experience with the Sunday Ticket app on Android last year the quality was pretty lackluster. Seemed like I had to fight often just to get a game to stream or it would suddenly stop working for no reason. Now again this is from my experience so others might of had better than I did but I just wasn't that impressed. Hopefully they've improved the streaming come this season.

Ok so the site is back up, but when I log in and go to "My Programming" and "Take me to Sunday TIcket", it brings me to a page where it apparently wants to sell me Sunday Ticket, even though I already have it. I have no idea how to actually go to watch something?!??! :mad:

Same here, anyone else have this issue?
[Google Chromecast] matt21484:
If you have DTV service, dont sign in with your typical UserID and password, use the supplied email & password on the Sunday Ticket flier that came with Madden. The site you should start with is directv.com/easpecial.
[Google Chromecast] joeski27:
Up & running :)

UPDATE: Ok good news, I'm up and running and it works perfectly. But two things: first, part of the problem might have been the big issues their website was having this afternoon (which the nice lady at DirectTV mentioned); but second, she happened to mention the name of the site I'm supposed to use for this, and it was different from the "directv.com/EASpecial" site on pamphlet in the video game packaging. Specifcally, go to (or for that matter, bookmark) directv.com/sundayticketspecial, as this worked for me flawlessly. And now that I'm up and running I can report that Chromecast does the job very well. I didn't take the time to mess with the video quality settings on directv.com, but either way while it wasn't in outstanding HD quality, it did look great and ran fairly smoothly. Woo hoo!
[Google Chromecast] tony yayo:
Phone app works great. Tablet is so-so. Website I got in once, then the games started and screwed ever since.

Don't try to change your password...everything was working fine but I got the bright idea to use a simple password. Changed it online and now I can't log in on the web. App works on my phone with the updated password oddly...but no browser. Will have to call DirecTV.

I don't have directv or a Sunday ticket code, but I would love to be able to login to the app on my ps3 if someone were to share their email and pass. I used my dad's last year and it didn't affect his viewing at all. But... He has cable now.

Help a fellow xda guy out anyone? I might even be up for sending something paypal if it works. PM me please!
[Google Chromecast] bozzykid:

Well, I have not checked the PS3 since I do not have a login. If not I will try to stream it through chrome cast. Anyone able to help me out?
[Google Chromecast] Tikal769:
I found this online on another forum and it worked.

This applies to people who changed their sunday ticket name and pw and cant login in online!

This is a known issue when changing your username and/or password from what was on the insert in Madden 25 AE.

"For those still experiencing issues:

1) Log out of everything (it may help to clear your cache and cookies and close all browser windows).

2) Go back to http://www.directv.com/easpecial and click "Start Watching".

3) Login on THAT page (which will not log you into the main DirecTV page), and begin watching.

I was having this issue and these steps worked for me."
