Casting entire screen is no better than tab casting. Lagging, frames missing...

I wonder if he is using the hardware capabilities of some of the newer devices, or if it is done entirely in software.

Newer devices include a hardware h264 encoder, which should make this a lot better than in software only.

I have disabled all extensions besides chromecast and still no success. Also double checked firewall and there doesn't appear to be anything blocking chrome from my network. I'm running Microsoft security essentials for an anti virus.

Is there any certain router settings that I may need to set to allow casting? I have a static IP with port forwarding setup for my media server.

Thanks for the replies!
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
IPv6

Multicast

IGMP

Are the usual suspects, and of course AP Isolation should be off as wireless clients need to be able to see Chromecast and each other

[Google Chromecast] tezkr:
My router has not one of those settings. There is an IPv6 firewall setting..thats the only thing thats close. Sorry I know only the basics of networking.

The router is a relatively basic model but I would hope that wouldn't prevent me from enjoying all the chromecast goodness.

Most confusing thing is why I can cast from my wifi laptop but my desktop cannot cast over wired connection.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
What are the differences between your laptop and desktop?

Does your desktop see Chromecast at all - can you direct cast from YouTube from it?

Antivirus is a common culprit for problems with desktop casting.

Try Bonjour Browser and see if your machine sees a GoogleCast advertisement.
[Google Chromecast] tezkr:
Laptop is a 4 year old Toshiba running Windows 7. Desktop is a custom build I did a little over a year ago (also running Windows 7). Both using Microsoft Security Essentials for antivirus. VPN is setup on desktop but not on laptop (VPN is disconnected when I try to use Chromecast) Both use Windows built in firewall. I've added rules to allow Chrome in the firewall on my desktop. Desktop is running a high resolution monitor but that shouldn't matter since it scales to 720p anyways..?

Chrome sees the Chromecast. When I click on it to cast an error comes up saying it is no longer online.

Youtube on my desktop doesn't have the button to switch displays. However my laptop did have this function which did work.

Antivirus has real-time protection which I turned off but had no effect on Chromecast.

I downloaded the browser but I get I get some DNS error when it scans..Bug in software or part of my problem maybe?
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Ahh, maybe you don't have Bonjour installed (it usually installs with QuickTime as it's part of the Apple Update blah-blah).

Don't install it quite yet - or if you don't want to burden your machine, you can get Bonjour Browser for Android too.

Your VPN connection/adapter might be the source of confusion on the desktop... Try this:

Go to Network and Sharing control panel

Click Change adapter seettings on left

Alt-N to bring up the Advanced menu

S (or click Advanced Settings) to bring up the bindings and provider order

Make sure your wired/wireless LAN adapter is at the top of the list, above any VPN adapters, if there are any

Click OK

You might have to reboot for the changes to fully apply.
[Google Chromecast] tezkr:
Oh ok, I knew that sounded familiar. Yeah I uninstall everything Apple thinks it needs to infect my computer with :D Bonjour for android picks up my Chromecast. All this means is its recognized on the network, correct? Because the Chromecast works perfectly on Android and ios. Netflix, Youtube, and Plex all work.

Local Area Connection is at the top of the connections. I didn't see any VPN listed. After I checked this I deleted the VPN altogether, rebooted, but still a no go. Double checked and everything is running latest updates. I feel like Google is just trolling me haha
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Wow yeah that looks pretty vanilla. Only other thing I can think of is a wireless-wired filter.

I assume your laptop works properly when on wired connection (with wireless disabled) too though?

Sent from a device with no keyboard. Please forgive typos, they may not be my own.
[Google Chromecast] tezkr:
Good point I don't know why I never tested this. Laptop does exact same thing when wireless is disabled and it is connected via ethernet.

Could it just be my router doesn't support tab casting for whatever reason? Router is a Cisco DPC3825.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
I found a disappointing report about other services not making it through the wired/wireless boundary...

There was a mention about the IGMP proxy setting, but I didn't see it mentioned in your modem/router's manual or its product page.

Worth digging around in case it's there, though.

If the situation described is not a bug, it's a poopy situation that sounds like the wireless-wired bridging is not complete, or worse.

If that's the case and you can't get/try a different modem from your ISP (or use your own, if that is allowed), then the alternative would be to disable the built-in wireless and attach a separate wireless access point.

If you have a wireless router and not a wireless access point, you can disable the DHCP server on the wireless router, and connect a cable from its

LAN

port to a

LAN

port on your modem/router. Don't forget to check/change the LAN IP of the wireless router so it doesn't conflict with your modem/router's LAN address (and on the same subnet so you can still access it), and not in your modem/router's DHCP assignment pool. Functionally the wireless router would then act like an access point.
[Google Chromecast] tezkr:
Yea It looks like its just hidden in the firmware to prevent people from disabling it. Even though having it enabled should allow me to cast.

Seeing the number of people having similar if not the exact same issue is enough for me to believe this model router isn't a desirable one haha. The router is leased from my ISP I'll just ask for an upgrade. Even my internet has been acting weird lately so a fresh router doesn't sound like a bad idea.

Thanks for all your help and trouble shooting man! Greatly appreciated :D
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Let us know what you get upgraded to (hopefully it works or at least can be configured to work), as there are likely others with Cisco DPC3825 who will have the same question. :)

Cast Entire Screen not working

Hey Guys,

The 'Cast Entire Screen' option is not working on my Win 7 64bit Dell Laptop. Though it is working fine on my Mac book. So that should mean that the router settings are alright, right? I've tried disabling the firewall and anti-virus and all other chrome extensions too. But nothing works. The single tab cast works just fine. Only problem is with casting the entire screen (experimental). Can anyone please help me with this..?

Thanks in advance. CHEERS.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Yes, if another machine works and casting a single tab works then most likely it's not a router/network issue.

Casting the entire desktop adds to the CPU load because the entire desktop needs to be downscaled then compressed and sent to Chromecast. If your desktop resolution is high and it has things that change like a wallpaper or widgets it will add to the complexity as well.

So the first thing I'd do is try reducing your desktop resolution and see if that works, then go from there.
[Google Chromecast] SirSomnaathJi:
Tried, doesn't work. Closed all other apps too. Nothing seems to work. I guess there must be some setting, firewall or some thing related, that is not active which I am not able to find. Any other suggestions..?
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Check

Antivirus

Firewall

other Chrome extensions

Windows Network Location must be Home or Work, not Public or Unidentified
[Google Chromecast] SirSomnaathJi:
As I already mentioned before, I've tried after disabling Anti-virus, firewall and all other chrome extensions too. The network is set to HOME. Sharing and everything is ON too. Still doesn't work. CRAP.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
What graphics hardware do you have, and is Aero enabled?

BTW, what are you trying to achieve by casting the desktop? Because of scaling to 720p the desktop generally looks poor.
[Google Chromecast] SirSomnaathJi:
Its an Nvidia GT 540m card. I am not trying to achieve anything bro. It's just killing me not knowing the reason behind this failure of casting the entire screen. All help is appreciated.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Ahh okay... Curiosity definitely gets the best of me too sometimes.

Does it give you an error, or does it just do nothing?

Does CPU load increase while it's trying?

Really not sure what the difference is between entire desktop and tab...

Visual Effects settings might have some effect, but I'm not sure.

So, I need to force a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 to use only the 800 OR 1900MHz frequency. I know I can force the phone to use only CDMA but I need to be able to use the specific bands only.

In the AT&T Galaxy version it is as easy as going into ServiceMode and selecting the band but I cannot do this on the Verizon version.

I've tried Google for days now but simply cannot find it. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

I guess this is a question for anyone who my know the answer from owning the first gen and I know its going to require root and likely a custom ROM.

So in landscape has anyone seen an option to have the nav bar on the sides and not located on the bottom? I find it awkward to use the nav buttons in landscape. I guess pie controls would fix this, but I like nav bar better.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
There's really no ROM difference, as far as I'm aware. Just the Dev edition has an unlocked bootloader...which cannot be exported from that phone to ours.

Hello,

Sorry for the noob question, but I was wondering if there was any way to improve the HTC Evo 3d camera and keep it unrooted. I saw this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1302943 and was hoping there was something similar available that currently works. I apologize if the question is silly, I am heading on a trip and would prefer not to bring a camera if possible.

Thank you for your help!
[HTC EVO 3D] Dixxhead:
All u can do is toy around with the settings. It is recommended to turn all the Auto stuff off and fine-tune urself.

For daylight situations iso 100-200 seems to be optimal (mostly 100).

Whitebalance on Auto is ok, but image adjustment you should do as follows:

Exposure: -1

Contrast: -1

Saturation: -1

Sharpness: 0 or +1 (+1 gives you very crisp pics, at the expense of more noise)

Turn off auto enhance and Auto Focus (you can focus by clicking the touchscreen or half-pressing the camerabutton anyways). This should give you very good results.

In low-light situations select the Low-Light Scene or put iso to 400-800 (need to have a really steady hand and pics still come out sort of bad)

[Ouya Android Development] Trooper_Max:
This thread is for brainstorming and developing safe ways of booting our OUYAs to use custom ROMs.

I've developed an initial method that allows OUYA to boot CM 10 from a usb thumb drive that does not require you to mess with any of your internal storage at all! This allows you to keep your OUYA in pristine stock condition, while still enjoying CM 10 from an external thumb drive.

Unfortunately it does require you to setup the thumb drive in a particular way to allow it to be used and this may be difficult for some users without Linux experience. I hope some will find it useful and plan to develop easier methods in the future (probably involving a custom recovery image with the ability to setup the thumb drive for you)

I plan to post more details on how I achieved this so that others can use the knowledge and apply it to other roms or develop improved solutions, but I might work on some other things first. Mainly it involved unpacking/repacking the Android boot.img (google it and there are tutorials about how to do this, I also recommend checking out the "abootimg" program from the Ubuntu packages) and modifying a couple of the init/fstab files.

Note that the zip I am going to link to is not a flashable zip, extract it and follow the instructions in the README which I am including below. Also note the the Google apps are not included - so if you want them you will need to add them yourself. Just be aware things you add to the system partition will need correct permission set.

One of my other ideas I'm going to eventually try is swapping the boot/recovery partitions so that the device normally boots up into recovery and then will have an option to reboot into the recovery partition which would actually boot a full rom for regular use. This may still be dangerous on OUYA though, so is not recommended unless you know what you're doing. I have a Notion Ink Adam which I can boot into APX mode (a low-level nVidia recovery mode that can be used to restore the device in the case of bricking, unfortunately we do not have this level of acces on OUYA), so it will be much safer for me to experiment on it. I haven't really developed on it before though (in fact this OUYA bit is my first major Android development apart from doing/tweaking some CM builds from source myself for some of my devices), so it may take me some time to set stuff up to experiment with it.

Eventually I think we need some form of bootloader for the OUYA. I have read about some very interesting kexec hardboot patches that were developed for the original Nexus 7 that it would be very awesome if we could port to OUYA - that would allow us to boot the patched kernel and have it boot us into kernels/roms stored elsewhere.

Please post any feedback or ideas. Sorry the current method isn't that easy yet and I hope the instructions make sense - hopefully others can also help clarify.

If you'd like to donate to me, I'm certainly not going to turn you away, but keep the other devs in mind 'cause I haven't done that much yet! ( PayPal: troopermax@gmail.com )

Wait that was blank a second ago. I am downloading now. I will mirro with my mediafir stuff if I can get it to work.
[Ouya Android Development] Trooper_Max:
Sorry, I was setting up the posts...

I'm not sure this is similar to any solution currently used on other devices, but I do know that other developers have used similar methods to develop their roms.

I don't have a Nook and haven't looked into what they use too much, but we may very well be able to learn from their work.

~Troop
[Ouya Android Development] Trooper_Max:
So I dug up an old nvflash package from my Notion Ink Adam and tested it to make sure it still works (with the Adam in APX mode it allows me to directly flash the device with a new partition layout and flash the partitions directly). After verifying I had it setup correctly, I swapped the boot and recovery images and ran it again and sure enough... now when I boot my Adam normally, the recovery rom comes up, and when I boot my Adam into recovery it loads the normal rom - so the theory seems to work.

So I think the next thing I will try is building a new recovery for OUYA from source and adding an option to reboot into "recovery" to the menu, allowing it to be stored on the boot partition and the real boot.img to be stored on the recovery partition, allowing you to boot the OUYA and it comes up in recovery, then you select the new reboot option and it would reboot into "recovery" which would load a full rom. You could then safely flash boot images to the recovery partition without fear of bricking your device.

I think it should work nicely, but not sure how long it will take me since I need to set my build machine back up.

For those who are confused, read more about how these ideas started below!

[Ouya Android Development] dexter84:
I've been following your think tank and I agree with your latest idea 100%

Sending a message for bootloader to always boot into recovery if the system wasn't shut down normally is clean and simple.

I am curious though what about development, with nvflash requiring encryption of commands first mistake will render your ouya unusable.
