Pretty coll application. would be perfect for party. I can put my GTab connected to TV/speakers and any iphone or android can send to it.

Though there are some issues, it's a pretty neat app specially for me that I can't get Chromecat yet here.

YouTube and Google music works perfectly for me.

1.The volume control does not work.

2.cant see the cheapcast from the google chrome on PC.

If the track is on the device, then you can't stream it. Delete the track from the device and it should stream to any Chromecast.

That's covered by the OP, this is a beta and Chrome casting isn't implemented yet.
[Android Apps and Games] markimcclam:
Well do you need wifi for this to work.
[Android Apps and Games] Averix:
Interesting question. Since part of Netflix is the DRM negotiation and this app likely doesn't have access to the same secure playback facilities, I'm betting it won't happen. I could be wrong, but I'm guessing this is a fairly significant effort.

I hope to use a couple of old retired Dinc's as receivers. If I can get a couple of different devices synched to the same audio stream then I could have a Sonos like whole house wifi audio system without spending $250+ per room.

As for now you can't use custom apps right? Just saw the update
[Android Apps and Games] zinv:
Just attempted some testing with this while at work. Tried using 3 different wifi networks for this. Using Samsung Galaxy S4, and Nexus 7 (old gen). When attempting to cast from either device to the other, or from a chrome tab to either device i receive a failure to connect to either device from all apps with chromecast ability (netflix play movies and video, and youtube). Not sure if this could be related to my work network or if this is a real issue but just wanted to see if anyone has any ideas regarding this.
[Android Apps and Games] mjm128:
You can't play songs that aren't synced via Google's servers. You get the same message if you try and stream it normally to a chromecast.
[Android Apps and Games] rceccleston:
Thank you for developing this application to allow out mini PC's to own their position in our front rooms.

Unfortunately, neither the Chrome cast hardware or software is available here in the UK.

Also, the UK version of YouTube V4.5.17 doesn't display the Cast icon.

Please may I request assistance to set this up.

Thank you in advance. :)

Why don't you make this available on the OUYA?
[Android Apps and Games] julle131:
It works on my ouya after side loading. I see your point, but it might be easier for the dev to start distributing the app with only few ways.

I hope you get my point :D
[Android Apps and Games] fergiet:
Just installed this on Minix Neo 4 android stck and it is working, not perfect but YouTube and Google music cast correctly from a 7" tablet and from my HTC One S phone. Netflix would be good and I could not see the "Cast" icon in Google Play Movies. If this is added and it's reliable it will be a winner.

Good work.

:cool:
[Android Apps and Games] mjm128:
Just tried it on my ouya. Could only get Music to cast, everything else the cast button wasn't being shown, or in the case of google movies it would show it but wouldn't play the selected media. It would just say "connected." Also changing volume doesn't seem to work for me either. Great start though!

It does for me
[Android Apps and Games] Timbermill:
Casting YouTube from my phone to an MK809 TV stick is working for me (UK v4.5.17).

I installed the app on both devices - not sure if that is what added the icon to YouTube as I hadn't noticed the icon before installing it.
[Android Apps and Games] zinv:
Yes I installed cheapcast on both devices. Both devices are visible from casting button on all apps. But when trying to cast it just states attempting to connect to "name of casting device" 5 times then after 5th attempt fails. When attemtping from chrome on laptop or desktop both devices are detected but cast button turns red on attemtping to connect.

I'm using those chinese android hdmi dongles:

"Chipset: Amlogic-M3, 1.5GHz Cortex-A9"

it is detected as a cheapcast remote device

but it doesn't play any content

the control device says the content is playing

from youtube I get a grey screen with youtube symbol.

from play music i get maybe 1 second of audio and then it stops.
[Android Apps and Games] japzone:
Chromecast can't stream local files. It can only send stuff stored on the net. (ie: Google Music Cloud Music, Youtube Videos, etc) The only way to play local files is to use a PC Chrome Browser and send files that way.

Incredible 2 Force Close :(

I downloaded and installed cheapcast on my HTC Incredible 2 and after opening and setting friendly name, i attempt to start the service by hitting the "play button" then the application pops a screen up that says "The application Cheapcast (process at.maui.cheapcast) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

Anyone have ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] wejgomi:
Sony GTV

Thanks for the app,

Tried to stream Sony NSZ-GT1(GTV) and Nexus 7. Both load the audio on youtube videos but no video is played. Screen casting from Chrome drops to a black screen without any errors or force closes.

I work on a 200mbit network with powerlines used mostly, so no bandwidth problem I guess.

Wejgomi
[Android Apps and Games] Zephyr!:
What this application does? I am unable to understand
[Android Apps and Games] rceccleston:
Thank you for your reply, I found the problem.

It appears CheapCast will only knowledge it's presence to other devices when running on the same Wi-Fi access point, even thou the Ethernet is connected to the same network.

Is this negative feature of the Chromecast protocol or a minor bug in this implementation?

Is there any further tweaks or changes that I could make to allow Wi-Fi clients to communicate with Cheapcast running on my mini PC via Ethernet?

Thank you again.
[Android Apps and Games] wynalazca:
I've sideloaded multiple versions and the app loads fine but the device isn't being recognized as a cast device. What setup do you have on your Ouya? Custom ROM? Also, which version of the app did you install?

Thanks in advance.

CheapCast for Development?

I've whitelisted my actual ChromeCast device for development and have my Google Cast App Id working great with that, but it doesn't appear to be listing my CheapCast as an available receiver.

Is there any way to setup/whitelist CheapCast as a receiver for custom app id's? I see the option for Custom Services, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

YouTube and Netflix work great btw.
[Android Apps and Games] zinv:
So after some more testing im stumped. Im at home now. Ive installed cheapcast on my nexus 7 and my Samsung Galaxy S4. Ive attempted to run the service on my N7 and cast from any app on my S4. No apps will connect. The S4 can see my N7 as a cast device. Just wont connect. Ive also attempted it in the opposite configuration with the same reslts. N7 cannot cast to S4 even though it can see the S4 as a cast device. Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] daprospecta:

I have and old cheap china tablet sitting around that would be great for this. I booted her up and installed app. I can open it but as soon as i start the service the tab restarts... This POS is running 2.2. What version is this dev on? Let me know what i can do to help.
[Android Apps and Games] d11dog11:
Got mine going on the original sony blue ray Google TV. YouTube shows no video but play music streams good. Nice start to what will be a great app. FYI, no device would see the cast server until I unplugged the ether net on the gtv and made it wireless.

It's a great project. I have just tried to install it on my old MK802 Android stick which I don't use due to it's poor performances and it looks like it's not powerfull enough to even stream Google Music ... :eek:

I was planning on just plugging it to a Android Stick HDMI >> VGA/Jack >> Stereo - but it looks like it might not work after all ...:rolleyes:

Fake SSID?

Works fine from phone to tablet, since they both use wifi. But the Ouya can not be found because it isn't on wifi.

Would it be very complex to add a fake SSID entry to the application or is it using some kind of google lib that hardcoded checks for a wifi connection?

Casting to my tablet isn't very usefull, but it works excellent. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] julle131:

[Android Apps and Games] blinkin:
I would also be very interested in ethernet solution for Ouya... :)
[Android Apps and Games] julle131:
What do you mean? Just connect ouya to you modem/router/hub/switch or whatever you have with Ethernet cable. Then go to settings and make ouya use Ethernet instead of wlan.

I use Ethernet over wlan because I use ouya for streaming.
[Android Apps and Games] blinkin:
I mean that cheapcast doesn't work on Ouya over Ethernet or that's at least what I've read here and on reddit
[Android Apps and Games] julle131:
Oh? Well, it works for me. I am 100% sure it is using ethernet (I checked just to make sure), and the only device i have CheapCast on is OUYA.

My OUYA is different then :D

Great idea, especially for who owns an android hdmi mini pc or tablet without internet connection or large storage. Great job ;)

I can confirm CheapCast will only work on Wi-Fi rather than Ethernet on my Android mini PC.
[Android Apps and Games] lowsum:
Great app but since last version playback broke and I only get grey screen and a small video logo in the center. I'm using a mk802IIIs tv stick with jelly bean 4.1. When it was working I only had one bug with youtube, qeued videos would eventually freeze the whole system after 3-4 videos.
[Android Apps and Games] slevster:
Great app. Was looking for something like this for a while. I have it installed on rooted desire and Nexus 4. (Ideal for having the desire connected to my speaker system and been able to control remotely)

But i seem to have a problem. When i connect using my Zyxel router, I can not see the other device to cast to (on either phone), but when i connect using an old Netopia router, it works fine.

I've enabled all upnp settings, tried turning off the router firewall, but still the devices cannot see each other. (I've probably overlooked something silly.) My issues aside, its a clever simple app
[Android Apps and Games] JNasty:
Worked initially for me. Rooted rootbox Galaxy Note I > Nexus 7 rootbox. Test youtube and worked flawlessly but upon reboot of my Galaxy note, cheapcast keeps crashing

So close to brilliance!

Damn...its SOOOOOOOOOO close! So I've tried this with my nexus 7(2012), my HTC one, my Android Rokchip tv HDMI dongle(which would be perfect!) and my GS Note 2, both phones rooted, GSN2 with Paranoid Android and HTC one with ViperROM(Sense based)

Google music works pretty damn well although the TV dongle seems to disappear from the list of places to be cast to on the Nexus 7 which Ive been predominantly fiddling about with. From the Note 2 it works perfectly.

With the Youtube side of things, it connects, I get the name of the video I am trying to play on the tv dongle, but then a grey screen(kind of like you get when you try to play flash on an android browser that doesnt support it) and then a timed out message on the nexus 7 and the phones which basically says its having problems connecting

Ive also tried this with Netflix(version 2.3.2, running behing Hola-I am in Australia so I have to use this to get onto USA netflix that works usually...but I cannot even see an icon that allows me to try to cast onto another device running cheapcast...

Can anyone help with any suggestions?

Cheers

Oh, and to the developer, thanks for your amazing efforts with this so far, this is gonna be a supercool app....once its up and running there'll be a sizeable donation to the beer fund coming your way!

Got it working on an ONDA V10 tablet.

Youtube only as thats the only service that works here without tunneling or hacks.

Anyway how do I do casting from Youtube on the PC to the tablet?

Or is it not supported yet via CheapCast(fall under Chrome tabs mirroring?)?

Play music works perfectly, apart from the losing control of the track after a while. YouTube doesn't work at all anymore, it shows the name of the video on the screen, but doesn't actually play the video. I'm using a nexus 7 (2013) as the remote, and an Asus tf300t as the receiver. The n7 is running rooted stock, and the tf300t is running cleanrom inheritance 3.4.6. YouTube only worked in the first release. Since then, it has not worked any more than what I've described above

Device do not discover cheapcast device

Hi,

I have some trouble to get cheapcast app to be visible as an device to stream too.

The device with cheapcast installed can cast to itself but no other device in the same wifi will not discover it this is from youtube app.

This behaviour is observed on Nexus 4 Stock 4.3, Nexus S stock 4.1 and Asus TF700 with CM10.1.

Nexus 4 is tested on both 5ghz and 2.4ghz wireless and the other two on 2.4ghz wireless.

The cast button is visible in youtube and netflix if my PS3 has youtube/netflix started and works flawless in the same network.

Has anyone else seen this and is there an solution to this.
[Android Apps and Games] KiraYahiroz:
Gave it a go using my Nexus 10 as the ChromeCast device, and Youtube and Music from my HTC One works pretty well. Tried to test it with Movies but I couldn't seem to get the Ice Age movie (that came with the N10) to load...

[Android Apps and Games] KiraYahiroz:
I already know ChromeCast doesn't work with local content, the film's not on my device, it's on the cloud. I think it may be a problem with the Google servers itself at the moment, Ice Age is running into an error on both my N10 and HO at the moment (it was working fine before). It's the only film under my Google Movie list so I have no other movie on the cloud to test with :p.

No luck with Netflix yet, the cast icon is missing in Netflix. I'm in the U.S. and have tried build.prop edits and ROM swaps. I've tried it both casting to and from on CM10 and Stock on a Galaxy Tab, Nexus7, NexusQ and Photon Q. My install process is- Install Cheapcast then install Netflix. I have also tried it in reverse as well.

Could those with working Netflix post your config and maybe a vid of it working.

I am fully aware of that. There are however a couple posts in this thread claiming to have been able to get Netflix working.
