Like I say, the second I make even the slightest amount of money off this app, I will add mms, but to develop it at the moment with zero funds and each message costing 50p ($0.75) when I would have to send many 100's is not even an option. But when I can, I will ;)

I miss my old nokias :)

I finally get what your saying in order to add it you would need to test it, which would cost money. Anyways great app so far. Can't wait to theme it.

Open the link in your phones browser, not the playstore
[Android Apps and Games] Atamagaokashii:
I would pay for your app right now if it had MMS. My wife and her family do nothing but group MMS pictures of our babies and my brother in law spams me with pictures every other day. Not to mention my wife would never bother to click on a link.

Tl;dr MMS is important to me. I'll pay.
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
If they use SmartMessenger it would just show the picture, without having to click on link ;)

Are MMS's in the US still limited to like 256x256 or max of like 128k or something ? or is that just here in the UK ... thats the whole reason I did the gdrive image sending, cause friend of mine sends pictures over mms and I cant tell wtf they are :)
[Android Apps and Games] Atamagaokashii:
I'd agree with you there dean but I'm the only android user.
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
Well MMS is on the list now, and wasn't before... Just not sure when I will get to it :)
[Android Apps and Games] ubigred:
That's just in the UK:o

Most carriers in the US have a limit between 1mb and 3mb

Anyone fancy ranking these in order of your own personal situation/desires ? Note this is just for me to have an idea, the order and time I do things may change cause of other elements, just I want an idea of user need :)

Simple MMS support (limited and "samsung" phones may have a problem)

Theme/UI creator

SmartMessages SMS - fully encrypted and controlled custom messages (retain ownership/recall lots more) (Requires both parties to have SmartMessenger) or it will just look like a garbled mess

BTW : things not mentioned here are either currently in the build I have or I'm doing before the above list or I dont know about :).. any input appreciated

Last update fixed the graphical issues. How about the notification when message has been successfully sent or it couldn't be sent? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
Notification on failed sending, I should have done that really, can do quite easy... not sure I would want a notification if an sms is sent ? It already has the status underneath the message in the chat/person view
[Android Apps and Games] AlkaDragos:
Well, sometimes network will delay the message arrival and I would like to know when the message has been sent without staring at the phone. An option will be great, disabled by default if you don't like it. It's just a matter of an extra option, Just sayin'...
[Android Apps and Games] deanwray:
Valid point, it's now on the considerations list, not hard to do, and as you say, disabled by default wont cause that much harm... I have to be careful, I want a powerful sleek app, not something that turns into a beast full of 1 in a 1000 options in 100's of menus with 10's of actions for all sort of stuff :)
[Android Apps and Games] AlkaDragos:
That's true, but there are a lot of people with different preferences and you can't satisfy all with same presets. IMO people prefer to disable/enable things instead of stop using it or bad rate it because it doesn't have what they want (they exist, sadly :rolleyes: ) . And the way you set preferences with rules (with cascade menus) it's intuitive and clean. Thank you for considering this feature and keep up the good work. I like this app more and more :)

[Google Chromecast] Epic_VS:
I have created a tool that greatly simplifies the task of streaming mp4's and other file types through vlc to the chromecast using html5.

H.264 works very well, but other files are slow due to the transcoding process

Prerequisites

1. Python(2.7) with Environmental Variables set

2. Chrome as default browser

3. VLC added to path for vlc transcoding version

Installation Instructions

1. Go to chrome://extensions, and check the Developer mode in the upper right corner

2. Go to Google Cast extension options

3. Click on blue icon 4 times or until Developer Settings appear at the bottom of your screen

4. Enter "localhost" and click add

5. For tornado version, run install.py

Usage Instructions

1. Move file into the same directory as cast.py

2. Open command prompt / terminal in the directory of cast.py

3. enter "python cast.py NameOfFile.mp4"

for vlc transcoding version, when using non H.264 video, "python cast.py NameOfFile -t -b BITRATE -s SCALE"

4. click the play video button to make sure the file works, then click the chromecast you want to stream it to.

Note

the simple http server version is cross platform, but extremely slow. If you are on windows, I strongly recommend that you use the mongoose version. I am looking into a faster cross platform solution. The tornado version should be much faster although it takes a lot of ram.

This also only plays H.264 mp4's but I am looking into real time transcoding with VLC in order to watch videos with any compression

There is now a vlc transcoding version that will play any type of video, although it is a little choppy and uses a lot of cpu.
[Google Chromecast] notbrodie:
doesn't seem to work. this is what I get

[Google Chromecast] jsdecker10:
I'm giving this a try, but obviously I'm installing Python 2.7 first and setting the Environment Variables. When you set the Env Vars, did you just edit the "PATH" entry and add the installation directory where python.exe is located? I added the python.exe install directory (C:\Python27) and I also added the scripts directory (C:\Python\Tools\Scripts). Seems pretty straightforward really.

Next question..will this script just play *.mp4 files or will it also play *.avi and/or *.mkv ?

I'm about to give this a go here soon...hopefully it works...if not, I guess I'm gonna read up on these forums and try to find an alternative way to "cast" local media/videos..but hopefully this works!

Thanks!
[Google Chromecast] Epic_VS:
edit.. nevermind.

The file has to be in the same folder as cast.py

I could root the server at the base of your filesystem... but then your entire system will be openly accessible on your network

If you want, put "os.chdir('/')" after the imports.

And the video should play in that black box

or you could make a symlink to the folder where all your videos are
[Google Chromecast] Epic_VS:
Yes you only need to add python.exe to the PATH

Feel free to try other codecs/containers, but this should only support the officially supported filesystems.
[Google Chromecast] keredini:
Two things ...

First to get this to run i had to change the cast.py script, specifically had to change this:

import SocketServer

to this:

import socketserver

Edit, the above change was needed because i installed python 3.3, not 2.7 ...

Second, I tried this and once i select the Chromecast device to play, my screen (on the TV with the chromecast) goes blank and nothing happens. Playing the video in the tab in Chrome works fine, but trying to send it to the device doesn't seem to do anything.

Another edit: I tried installing 2.7, i get the same as above, black screen on the TV with the chromecast stick
[Google Chromecast] Epic_VS:
Did you use the mongoose one, or the simplehttpserver one?

the simplehttpserver one is very slow and takes a long time, up to 10min or so... I'm working on it.
[Google Chromecast] keredini:
Mongoose...
[Google Chromecast] Epic_VS:
Check the codec and make sure it is H.264. This does not work on all mp4's
[Google Chromecast] keredini:
YEah, in VLC it shows the codec as: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (avc1)
[Google Chromecast] Epic_VS:
interesting... my test file shows the same codec...

what is the resolution?

is it stuck at the black screen or does it go back to ready to cast?

try rebooting the chromecast through the android app or by unplug, replug
[Google Chromecast] keredini:
720x404 ... as mentioned before it plays fine on the tab in Chrome, just once i click my Chromecast device nothing happens ... underneath the media status is this JSON:

{"eventSequenceId":1,"activityId":"z29vei6p3i0n","state":2,"contentId":"http://192.168.1.11:8080/test.mp4","title":"http://192.168.1.11:8080/test.mp4","imageUrl":null,"timeProgress":true,"position":4.632333,"duration":0,"volume":0.8,"muted":false,"contentInfo":null,"mediaTracks":[],"error":null,"hasPause":true}

Edit: yes, it changes from the Ready To Cast Screen to a black screen, no audio / video. It never comes back to the Ready To Cast screen unless i reboot the Chromecast.
[Google Chromecast] Epic_VS:
yeah something is wrong, your duration is 0...

I just tested and my duration was not 0.

try another file and see if it works.
[Google Chromecast] keredini:
Success! I had actually tried a different file before your suggestion, and i got the same thing. But i noticed that even though i tried a new file, on the Cast tab in Chrome it showed my initial file i tried in the file name text box, so i knew something was up. I then looked in my notifications tray on Win 7 and noticed i had 8 or more instances of Mongoose running. I think that the first time i tried i didn't have something setup right, Mongoose didn't exit gracefully (or at all) and that caused issues trying to cast going forward. I killed all instances of Mongoose, tried it again, and it fired up in 3 seconds. It works great!

tl;dr in Windows if you have problems make sure you kill all instances of Mongoose before trying to cast again.

Thanks for your help!
[Google Chromecast] Epic_VS:
I added a tornado version. It should be faster than simplehttpserver and is cross platform compatible, but it takes much more ram. You just have to run install.py before using.
[Google Chromecast] jsdecker10:
So are you saying that out of each of these 3 methods, that the tornado version is far and away the fastest? I'm not worried about RAM usage...I've got more than enough RAM =) I've already got the mongoose setup on my PC, but haven't actually tested it using the Chromecast because I've been paranoid that I would need root to do this(I don't have a USB OTG Cable yet, so I haven't been able to root yet), but I haven't wanted to try it out yet without root for fear of the device auto-updating itself and blocking the possibility of rooting it. So to get to my other question here in my post, do I need to root my device for these local video casting methods you have given us to work properly on the chromecast? ....or can I leave it factory un-rooted and still be able to watch videos from my pc?
[Google Chromecast] Epic_VS:
This works without rooting. I am not sure if this is faster than mongoose because I haven't had time to test this properly, but it should be significantly faster than simple http server
[Google Chromecast] jsdecker10:
Sweet..just the answer I was lookin for! Thanks man! I've got the worst luck ever, so I'm sure I'll have more questions for ya come tomorrow. Lol
[Google Chromecast] Epic_VS:
I got live transcoding working with VLC!

It is extremely choppy for now, but it works.I am working on adding it to my program.
[Google Chromecast] Epic_VS:
I added a vlc transcoding version for mongoose. You just need to set your path to include vlc.exe It is a little slow and can take a while to load at first. I am working on adding it to other versions.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klown80:
It sounds like you have the drivers correctly installed, but power off the phone first, then before connecting to PC, depending on whether you are trying to read back to PC or download to device, press read back or download button, then when you see connect USB in XX seconds in bottom right corner of SP, then connect to PC and it should let SP flash Tool start now, if still dont start, you most likely have to hold a button (Like menu button or camera usually) while connecting to PC. If that dont work for you either I would say you are using a version of SP flash tool that is too old to use with the MT6575 CPU, what version of SP flash tool are you using may I ask?

If you still have issues getting SP flash tool to work, try this to get root access, it works on quite a few of these MT65XX devices:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klown80:
Ideally you should have used SP flash tool to pull a complete back up of all your stock files before flashing anything to your device. Unfortunately you will now need to find someone with EXACTLY the same phone and get firmware to fix your device. The problem with these chinese phones are that some devices have same or close to same name but have different hardware in them. Kind of sounds like the firmware you flashed is not for your device! :(

The only thing I can think of is what files did you flash exactly? I see the link you left but not sure which files you flashed in SP flash tool.
