Thanks for that. Not too sure where my device originated from, so I'll have to check the documentation when I get home or something. :)

Also, coincidentally I stumbled upon that website about 20 minutes ago. Didn't even notice they supplied the firmware.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adil Ras:
The i9500 variant will use any i9500 software as far as I know. You can flash the UAE firmware on an Indian i9500 and it will work fine. This goes with any country, you just need to flash using odin

Initial Release
[Android Apps and Games] OrangeFlash81:
This app is about to hit 25 downloads! Thanks everybody! When it gets to 50 I may release a new version with exciting features!
[Android Apps and Games] OrangeFlash81:
Currently, I'm working on a new version of this browser with browsing that resumes after you've quit and reopened the app. Download the app now and eagerly await the 1.1 update!
[Android Apps and Games] flvinny521:
Thanks for your work. I may give this a shot to use when opening links in another app to test it out. For example, if I am browsing reddit via BaconReader, and want to read a linked article, I don't necessarily need to launch a big, heavy, slow browser. Have you tested the speed against alternatives like Lightning Browser?
[Android Apps and Games] OrangeFlash81:
Thanks for your feedback. I haven't done any speed tests, and currently the app cannot be set as your browser to open links from external applications. I am working on this!

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loribuono:
I've looked this up, but am not finding the specific issue I'm having. I uploaded a video to YouTube... a video I took with my tablet. When trying to watch it, in the YouTube app, on my tablet, I get the message, "Unsupported Video Format." I can watch it fine in a browser on the YouTube site, on my tablet. I an also watch every other video I try, through the YouTube app on my tablet.

Any ideas?
[Moto X Q&A] GuestK00336:
I bought a black Moto X and have been very very light with the phone, but I've already noticed "scuffing" on the plastic bezel around the display. I wonder if it is just my device or if anyone else has noticed it. I don't put my device screen down, and the plastic backing is absolutely fine.
[Moto X Q&A] dwd3885:
no one else has the phone :)
[Moto X Q&A] wolfedude88:
I would have thought some reviewers would have mentioned it, haven't seen one say it yet. Curious indeed!
[Moto X Q&A] serialtoon:
I have the same issue. Mine even had all kinds of loose plastic chips inside the packaging, like the kinds that fly around when trimming plastic in a factory. To top it off the vacuum sealed plastic on the box was very loose. To backup my claims, the first unit that they pulled out for me, wouldn't turn off almost like the power button was permanently pressed down. Weird. Had to exchange it. Looks like motorola might have some manufacturing issues to address.
[Moto X Q&A] gblier:
Scuff Marks

I have this issue as well. After a couple times putting it in my pocket I had dull scuff marks on the bezel. Wonder if I can buff it out somehow? Come on Motorola!
[Moto X Q&A] flashallthetime:
Talk about scuffs and dents, buy a metal HTC phone and see what it looks like in 3 months, I had a HTC EVO 3D in black, the exterior is metal with the cheapest black paint job , not powder coated but painted and within 3 months the paint started to chip off exposing the bare metal .

Hello there,

Giving that Nexus 4 has been out for a while and that Nexus 5 is just under the horizon, my opinion is that there are no new Galaxy Nexus'es made. That's just why prices of the SH ones are rising.

Just my two cents...

Looking good. MP4's go over with no problem...But, of course I see you have some transcoding options set up for other formats (like mkv). How will that work? Is this implemented already?

Thanks for the nice app and hard work.

MKV works great! Streaming from my NAS box now. However, the black line for 16:9 is only on top, and picture is at bottom of screen.

However, there is no way to fast forward or rewind.
[Google Chromecast] lexluthor:
Wow, this works wonderfully!

I can stream pretty much any video I have on my PC and get video and audio.

Also, you can use the andoid app remotecast https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.benlc.camcast to pause and adjust volume from your phone.
[Google Chromecast] ez4nick:
does anyone know how to remove the padding around the videos? when mine plays on the tv it is not centered and the top of the video is cut off
[Google Chromecast] psychoace:
add height=480 and width=760 to your perameters. This will mess with your aspect ratio but it's the only solution I've found. If you can transcode HD then try 720x1280
[Google Chromecast] agarp:
This is not my work buddy, Yes Implemented, you can download with from the link in the first post
[Google Chromecast] just4747:
I don't understand. This isn't working at all for me. Tried both Chromecasts I have on different TVs, but every video file (AVIs and MP4) I try does nothing on the app or on the TV. Sometimes I see a track time start running on the app, but still, nothing but the ready to cast screen TV...

Did I miss something? Running Win8.

I also just updated VLC and still doesn't cast anything at all.

Also, does the config.properties file that creates automatically have to stay in the same location as the .jar file? Do we need to keep this at all?
[Google Chromecast] golden_35:
You won't see anything happen to the app. There's a 10 second delay before video starts on tv.
[Google Chromecast] just4747:
I don't expect to see anything on the app, but most of the times, the counter for the movie never starts, and even when it does eventually, nothing ever shows up what so ever on the TV. So forget a 10-second delay, I've waited minutes and nothing lol.

Also I noticed that sometimes after loading the .jar, it only finds one Chromecast instead of my 2, or it finds NONE- until I hit refresh.
[Google Chromecast] Cheesejam:
Ya I can't get it to work either for any video formats. It finds my Chromecast, but when I drag a file, my TV just goes black.
[Google Chromecast] drjboulder:
Were you able to resume playback with Remotecast? In my short test I was able to change volume and pause, but not able to resume playback.
[Google Chromecast] tfly212:
Can still images be flung?

From my Note 2 running Beans 21
[Google Chromecast] lexluthor:
Yes, in the videos I tried, both pause and then play to re-start worked.

Jumping forward/back doesn't work though.
[Google Chromecast] dallastx:
In my test most videos pause like aircast and cheap cast. Fast Internet connection but I just don't think chromecast was built to stream media over local area networks without issues... But what do I know.
[Google Chromecast] Zippy the Wonderslug:
Hey all.

I tried using Chromecast today and it just isn't the same anymore.

When trying to play a "Personal Video" there's no option to stream it to the TV.

The only available icon is to share the video, which I did by accident, and now everything is being shared on Google Plus and I can't seem to find a way for this to stop either.

I'm using a Nexus 10, firmware 4.3, and it's not rooted.

Any help or ideas on what has changed recently?

Works fantastic for me with mp4 files, but mkv is a no-go..
[Google Chromecast] atrix4nag:
Fling finds my chromecast, but when I drag mp4 file, nothing happens, TV goes blank after few seconds, its back to chromecast ready to cast screen.
[Google Chromecast] illfrozn:
For those having trouble with .mkv, try removing mkv in the settings menu. I was only getting audio, but now am able to stream mkv (w/ AAC) ...

Edit: I also was unable to stream until I moved the fling.jar file into the Video Lan folder. Not sure why that worked, but maybe it helps someone else ...
[Google Chromecast] hooha23:
at first, it couldnt find the chromecast. redownloaded, then all of a sudden it came up, but no videos would work. rebooted, now it will not find it again.

:confused:
[Google Chromecast] imfloflo:
Thanks,

Are subtitles working?

[Google Chromecast] heathroi:
worked for me too by putting fling jar file into VLC, MKV started to work with audio (don't know if thats ac3 or aac, probably ac3 as it would play without have any sound previously, avi also played but only after i deleted and re entered.
[Google Chromecast] Slowb00st:
Funny/Strange thing on my "HTPC" with VLC installed it does not work on my laptop that does not have VLC it works. Both are running same versions of Java. :eek:

Tried moving the jar file around with no success.
[Google Chromecast] gottahavit:
Don't get me wrong, this is cool and the author did a lot of great work here, but the issue with this is that in order to play videos not natively supported but the chromecast it needs to transcode the video and unfortunately the chromecast only supports WebM formatted video with VP8, which requires significant CPU processing to encode anything above 480p. We really need HLS support on the chromecast.
[Google Chromecast] heathroi:
get on it then. http://xdaforums.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Same here...dropping the jar file into VLC made it work....this is a great starting point..but most are to choppy to watch
[Google Chromecast] bigguns6699:
For those unable to play videos (black screen on TV) the problem may be in your virus protection. I had same problem but when I disabled aVast it started working. May be possible that something is blocking java from running..
[Google Chromecast] mhester50:
I tried this, didn't work. Hopefully an update will fix. I had it working then moved the file and the poof, not finding my chromecast.

[Google Chromecast] tfly212:
Couldn't play MKVs at first...tried moving fling to the Vlan folder and deleted mkv from settings. Now I get video, with the bottom quarter of the screen being black and no audio. Anyone else fail at this point?

From my Note 2 running Beans 21
[Google Chromecast] illfrozn:
Is the audio in your MKVs AC3?? If so, Chromecast does not support AC3 at this time (transcode to AAC). Also, check out the Google page where the developer is responding regarding the black bar, seems like there are some potential solutions there ...
[Google Chromecast] gottahavit:
This app now appears to be broken along with aircast. Google put out an update to disable the backdoor this app and aircast use.:(:(

was rtrchar

any feedback on how the stream generally is - is there stutter or lag or any issues when using this app to play movies to your TV?
[Google Chromecast] philburkhardt:
When it still worked, it was pretty much flawless. I played the same video directly from a pc hooked up to the tv, streamed through a PS3 and through the Chromecast using this app. The video quality was the same for all. No stutter, no lag.
[Google Chromecast] HowardZ:
Anyone have a copy of fling.jar ?

I can't find it on the internet.
[Google Chromecast] gottahavit:
it doesn't work anymore, google broke it.
[Google Chromecast] HowardZ:
I still want to play with it.

For example: What if I have my laptop computer and chromecast both connected to a WiFi router which is NOT connected to the internet. And the Chromecast has the original old rootable firmware on it. Perhaps fling will work?

So, back to my question:

Anyone have a copy of fling.jar ?

I can't find it on the internet.
[Google Chromecast] HowardZ:
I found it.

I had downloaded it a few days ago onto my wife's laptop.

It doesn't work, even with laptop and chromecast on the same wireless lan with no Internet.

So, I rooted the chromecast.

Using Chrome browser the picture on TV looks low definition - inferior to using a hdmi cable to the TV.

I used the no updates rooted version.

Seems google is the enemy, squashing any attempt to cast from laptop to hdtv. I'll see what happens in the future.

Google allows Netflix and YouTube apps to use chromecast. And, will not allow open source software Fling to work. All that "sdk isn't ready" statements are bull.
[Google Chromecast] Hell.Knight:
Hi man the download link is down and I can't find it any where else, would you have a link to download this? Or could please re-upload it, thanks
[Google Chromecast] jsdecker10:
The link may be down because "Fling" no longer works, along with Koushik's "AirCast"/"AllCast". A few weeks ago, Google changed some things server-side that killed that local media(casting directly from phone, PC, or tablet) -> Chromecast. So 100% thanks to Google, neither one of those AMAZING 3rd party apps are able to even do what they were primarily created to do. They were both brilliant creations from brilliant minds, and both worked darn near flawlessly for a little while up until Google did what they did. Oh well, maybe things will change once Google releases the SDK out of beta..we can only hope! ;)
[Google Chromecast] -Gusse-:
I have tried many transcoding settings to make video center aligned and non of the trials have made any difference to location, which is top aligned all the time.

This change should have done the trick, but it is not working (included in v0.6).

github.com/entertailion/Fling/commit/20bf84f6a92454becbe1cce310036e1081ecb34c

Have somebody well working parameters for transcoding?

Setup:

Windows 8.1 x64

Fling 0.6

Latest Java x64

2.0.8 and 2.1.1 VLC x64

Otherwise Fling is working well with KyoCast mod :)
[Google Chromecast] jsdecker10:
Yea man, the same thing happens on my tv's also..grrr..my videos are all top-aligned as well, unless the video is a full-screen formatted video.
[Google Chromecast] abuttino:
Do you have to have any special codecs to get this to work?

[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
From the FourCC of VP80, it's looking for the VP8 codec

FourCC.org is a good lookup site, but in this case it only points to the LAV filters which I believe are decoders.

Further Google-ing says VP8 is now in Google's hands and is part of WebM, Wikipedia says libvpx is the only encoder available at the moment, there is a Video for Windows 32-bit wrapper and FFmpeg supports libvpx.

I'd start with installing FFmpeg.

Remember that in Windows the bits correspond so if you're using 64-bit Java you'll need the 64-bit FFmpeg and if you're using 32-bit Java you'll need the 32-bit FFmpeg. Best to just install both.
[Google Chromecast] abuttino:
The install of FFMpeg just includes some exe files that don't actually install, they are put in the path and whatever is looking for it is supposed to find it there.

In the past, I've known .ax files to get registered for codecs.

I've given up. Spending 5 hours of my afternoon/evening is it for me.

Fling is heavy dependend on VLCj project (there is new update of vlcj since last fling releases - 0.3 and 0.6) project and VLC.

Most of stufff is done by VLC, so updating VLC 64 to latest nightly - if its actually stable enough - may improve performance.

And yes, Fling could use more polish - audio tuning, more precise timelinie options.
[Google Chromecast] selwynbaptiste:
VLC nightly vlc-2.2.0-20140205-0402

I just installed and the latest VLC nightly build from : VLC Build in hopes that it would work with Fling 0.6 but VLC after updating did gave me a ++ error and won't open. So not sure it's VLC. When I drop anything in Fling 0.6 I see my Chromecast on my TV screen image flicker a bit but nothing plays. It goes back to normal rotating pictures. The Fling screen stays white and blank and freezes. I have to use task manager to close it.

Anyone find any solutions? Windows 7 64-bit, RAM 8G, Intel Core i5, Java Platform 1.7, VLC Player 2.2.0
[Google Chromecast] mathorv:
Fling 0.6 is for developers only! It's not for regular use!

Use Fling 0.3 functionality is the same as Fling 0.6 but it's for regular use, please remember Fling 0.3 requires ROOTed Chromecast. Fling 0.3 download link below.

Thank you [MENTION=4124152]mathorv[/MENTION] I have everything else except for my Chromecast being rooted. I will search the form for the best rooting method. Do you have any suggestions? :good:
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Please check the sticky FAQ.

Chromecast root is not like phones.

If you've already used it, most likely you cannot root, if your unit was even rootable to begin with.

bhiga is absolutely right. Forget about root for now.

I have not tried it yet(I dont like Plex)here is alternative however for non rooted devices:

Plex Media Center (DLNA)installed on PC or NAS

+ in the chrome/chromium browser

Google Cast Extension
