I've lost hours of my life trying to work this out over the last two weeks. Google doesn't seem to be my friend on this so we certainly need some guidance from a pro.

There must be a different protocol for XBMC launching a live stream over uploaded content, just got to figure it out. Gotham adds some raw processing power to the app I understand but my efforts to get a live stream working even with a gotham build have fallen short to date.
[Google Chromecast] JayDaKissEP:
Interesting... I'm on the latest nightly and now I'm actually getting quite a few live streams to open up in Avia. Can you try? the ones that are working on on the Mashup respository then go to iLive Streams, then all (English). I got a few working on there, specifically CBS and Fox News.
[Google Chromecast] Drizwaldo1:
Yes, I will certainly give this a go and report back. Do you have a link to the latest nightly build(s)?

[Google Chromecast] fastracer:
Me too...its been more then a month trying to get live streaming to cast..ive tried different versions etc....i thought it was just me...hopefully we can figure this out
[Google Chromecast] wakkaday:
so you install xbmc as normal (put the file in the stated directory)

open xbmc and go to a stream service and when selecting a video file, you select play with the avia player? and this will CCast? to the tv

is this the case, anyone got this working
[Google Chromecast] JayDaKissEP:
Pretty much. When you select a video it will automatically load in Avia. Then you hit the box on the upper right and select your CCast. The only thing that isn't working consistently is streaming live feeds.
[Google Chromecast] TurboTronix:
Does the Chromecast need to be rooted? If not, how do I get to sdcard/android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/userdata? New to this, just bought one from Amazon...
[Google Chromecast] JayDaKissEP:
You don't root the Chromecast. You put that file on your phone. Use ES File Explorer, go to settings and enable hidden files before you navigate to the location.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Shouldn't require a rooted Chromecast.

sdcard/everything/under/it should be on your tablet or phone. Chromecast has no external storage.
[Google Chromecast] TurboTronix:
What program needs to be installed on my cell phone to have the org.xbmc.xbmc folder? I don't have it currently and I've installed Avia and Xbmc
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Sorry, I don't use XBMC myself.

[MENTION=3045671]Link_of_Hyrule[/MENTION] So how do I do this with bubbleUPnP? Reading so much positive reviews about and want try it with ths because Avia needs IAP before Chromecast.

Got the modified file in the right directory Icefilms and 1channel added. Though when long pressing, doesnt show the apps to open with. Works with local content and xbmc crashes. Using latest nightly from http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/android/arm/
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Something that should probably be noted...XBMC is now on Gotham (not sure what the Android is at this point) It's a massive change to XBMC system and the hack that used to work may not work as well as it did.

For those who wish stream from an XBMC HTPC best option at this point is Yatse Remote for XBMC.

As for XBMC on Android there really is no point to it since you could just run aVia and stream the media on the device from there. Sure it won't look as pretty as XBMC but it will work.Add Ons do not work in that but I bet they don't work too well through avia either...Perhaps I'm wrong on that.
[Google Chromecast] puppinoo:
Great-ish!

Hi,

Tested for a while this method using BubbleUpnp client/server (premium user) and it works pretty fine. The great thing is that it really seems to send not supported formats to the server for the real time transcoding. At last a (not yet perfect but already good) method to stream xbmc adddons to chromecast.

Very good work.

Thanks.

Pino.
[Google Chromecast] Link_of_Hyrule:
This is the build of XBMC I am using http://mirrors.xbmc.org/releases/android/arm/xbmc-13.0-Gotham_beta2-armeabi-v7a.apk on a Nexus 7 unlocked not rooted with stock Android 4.4.2 I used XBMC Hub Wizard to install 1Channel. Some of the links in 1Channel don't work also I've found that other add-ons like MashUp seem to crash XBMC so far I'm researching how to fix this but so far I've watched like 4 movies using this method. You have to make sure that the BubbleUpNP server is setup on your windows computer or some videos won't play at all. Make sure to open BubbleUPnP first and connect to the Chromecast before you send the videos from XBMC to BubbleUPnP.

---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 PM ----------

I wrote a more detailed guide on how to do it on my original post a few up.
[Google Chromecast] ermacwins:
Can you explain the server side setup? So can't play any local content on my phone with bubbleupnp?

So I need a PC switched on and the server running to cast files?
[Google Chromecast] puppinoo:
Yes. I have a Ubuntu box and a Windows 7 PC, both with BubbleUpnp Server installed. Tests have been done using the windows 7 box.

Install. then configure it on your android Bupnp in Settings -> networks section (set a login and password on the server connecting to <SERVERIP:58050>..

You need to be a premium user. I bought the app cause it's worth every cents.

Ask if you have problems.

[Google Chromecast] ermacwins:
Would it be possible to do the following in playercorefactory file is to find the complete action with activity name and put it in the playercorefactory file so when opening a stream it would show the popup box to select which app you want to use. I think its better than having to longpress every time.

Only problem is I dont know the acitvity name
[Google Chromecast] hype96:
Got avia set up with XBMC and it's playing all my supported videos fine. However, airplay audio from XBMC is not being sent to avia to be able to cast to chromecast. How do I set this up?

Thanks in advance

[Google Chromecast] byteless:
No luck to make this work.

Tried all mentioned APKs for the xbmc and all versions of the xml file.

The closest I got is that once I play the movie from xbmc on my phone the popup comes up says click ok once the clip is over. but no option shows up to play the file in external player.

I have installed Avia, local cast, all cast, mx player..

any hint would be appreciated.
[Google Chromecast] MaiRuay:
I'm about to start thinking that the xmbc streaming with the avia player is a myth :) I tried with several gotham builds, i tried with XAF builds. I used the avia-version of the playercorefactory.xml from xbmchelpers. But i always get "External Player Active, Click OK when playback has ended"

Streaming from avia itself does work but not out of xbmc. Same happens when i explicitly choose Avia to play with...

:crying:
[Google Chromecast] Drizwaldo1:
MaiRay you will get this error if you try to stream LIVE CONTENT. It should work for content that is not live broadcast. Here are my files that work on my N5:

XAF version of XBMC : https://www.dropbox.com/s/rlw7s8dvcwahj7f/xbmc-frodo-12.1-xaf-neon-touch-20130503-f21603629f.apk

[Google Chromecast] -greenboy-:
Well this one works for me now..

Thanks

Sent from my LG-D801.
[Google Chromecast] MaiRuay:
Thanks very much, but i still get the external player message. The video sources i want to play are located on my NAS which I added thru a normal mount in XAF xbmc, is this considered to be a live broadcast?
[Google Chromecast] adfurgerson:
Have you considered using an app to accomplish this without xbmc? BubbleUPnP or Avia should work alone. The only other thing I can think of to try for xbmc is using a physical keyboard and pressing "c" key to bring up the context menu.
[Google Chromecast] MaiRuay:
Yes i did. With only UPnP I not get any transcoding for unsupported formats.
[Google Chromecast] lmt125:
With Upnp you need to set it up on your computer for it to work.

It transcodes unsupported files but you need to have the paid version. Works great for me ?
[Google Chromecast] MaiRuay:
Actually with BubbleUPnP or MediaHouse i can use my Android tablet to stream to my TV (from my NAS). I don't need a PC for that. But what Software are you talking about?

XBMCast: Official XBMC to Chromecast apk

Hello XDA,

Inspired by this post back a few months ago we would like to share our custom build of XBMCast® Cast from XBMC to Chromcast apk.

With months of begging and eventual negotiations between all parties, (i.e. XBMC Foundation, Google, etc.) permissions granted and self teaching myself to write and build this custom apk I am proud to offer you XBMCast® with built in custom userdata playercorefactory.xml for all major casting rendering apps for android found on the play store (i.e. bubbleUPnP, Avia, Allcast, etc.) We have included many other features for XBMC such as custom repositories for easier connection to Chromecast for XBMC.

This is strictly for Chromecast playback and not for use for playback on thedevice installed (if you must use it as a local render, consider downloading mx player from Play Store)

Install and Use XBMCast

1. Start by downloading the XBMCast.apk

2. Remember to uninstall any current version of XBMC from your phone or tablet. Install overlay is not possible.

3. Once installed and opened onto home screen for XBMCast (Current build uses "Touched" skin for Android touch screen)

4. Make Sure to Wait for all addons for XBMCast to install, load or update. Give it about 5 minutes for everything to automatically update/sync.

5. If some things do not work or update please update them manually. system\addons\get addons\ long press repo and select force fresh.

6. Once you've setup XBMCast the way you want it and your ready to cast to chromecast, Go to file location and long press file.

7. submenu will open and select "play using"

8 Select one of the choices that you have installed (i.e. Avia, bubbleUPnP)

9. As long as you're on the same wifi network for all your rendering (android tablet/phone app) and local media library (where the files come from,

PC, Server) and your CC, casting will go direct to CC.

If you have a Chromecast or are considering getting one, it's truly is the best way to stream all your favorite TV shows and movies on your HDTV. We also have many other apks for chrome casting all for free and all do more than any official app on the Play Store.

[Google Chromecast] veenone:
has anyone tried using Yatse to stream media from XBMC to chromecast?

currently I'm using this and it works just fine.

I can browse and play my medias from Yatse.

It is available in Playstore and I think it is worth to buy the license.
[Google Chromecast] Adharma:
[MENTION=857398]veenone[/MENTION] are you getting addons to stream as well (e.g. 1channel, etc) with yatse? I've been trying and the CC keeps erroring out.
[Google Chromecast] Link_of_Hyrule:
BubbleUPnP has a media transcoder server so that media that isn't in a format that the Chromecast can play will be transcoded into a Chromecast friendly format in real time and be able to play. It's very easy to setup assuming you understand basic port forwarding and such on your network. http://www.bubblesoftapps.com/bubbleupnpserver

casting live stream

Is there any way to cast

live stream

from XBMC on

android or PC

, to ChromeCast?
[Google Chromecast] albanodesign:
there is this i use and like

How can I stream sportdevil plugin to chromecast ??
[Google Chromecast] seti2:
xbmc

dude, that's not for XBMC...
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Actually it can take the content from XBMC's DLNA server (or any DLNA Server) and Transcode it and send to CCast...

But no it's not XBMC or specifically for it....But it can use it...

And it can't use or cast the Plugins
[Google Chromecast] seti2:
no plugins in xbmc means no streaming.. so that doesn't help..
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Well hate to break it to you but half the plugins for XBMC currently don't work or are incompatible until they can be made compatible with Gotham.

Even Yatse which is written specifically for XBMC for Local and CCast playback was broken when Gotham went Official this week.

Anyone who wants to see XBMC on CCast really should get over to the XBMC Forums and be a PITA until the Devs get off their high Horse and realize their Users really want that and then you won't have to run an Android VM and change Player targets to get what should be a native feature of XBMC already.
[Google Chromecast] seti2:
so, if i have Gotham xbmc. I can cast live streaming?
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
No thats not what I was saying....

I was merely referring to the fact that a whole lot of XBMC Plugins broke while XBMC was transitioning from Frodo to Gotham.

Yatse has recently been updated to work with the stable release of Gotham so my previous statement no longer applies to Video and Music content. Streams have never worked in Yatse and supposedly the developer is working on that.

Perhaps now that Gotham is a Stable and not a Beta he will have more success since the streaming of Plug Ins should be feature locked at this point.

The Plugins that have broken I suspect will eventually get re-written or tweaked to work with the new Gotham reality and then the only issue will be does the plugin channel itself stream in a format and protocol that is compatible with CCast.

The main holdup is the fact that the CCast can not load Chrome Extensions into itself to play some of the streaming content that requires it.

And without creating a CCast Receiver that can play that content it is unlikely CCast itself ever will support those Extensions.

Plex can play it's Channel content (streaming) for some but not all channels as well. At some point Plex could solve the ones that won't play by transcoding those streams since it has a transcoder.

If the XBMC Devs were really interested in the CCast they would build the CCast support into their frontend.

But they are not interested in creating a Media server for use in the way most are wanting to use it (as their Cable Box)

XBMC devs are only interested in you making an HTPC for every monitor in your house and run their frontend on those machine.

They seem to have no interest in letting you use a CCast with their system.

If that changed then you might see all your plugins work on a CCast in time.

Barring that happening you had better hope the Dev for Yatse gets XBMC Plugins working.

If not your stuck with the option of turning a PC into an Android with Bluestacks, Running the Android version of XBMC on it to launch another Android player that has CCast support.

It may work but to me it is like some sick Bucket Brigade method that is only needed because of XBMC Dev Stubbornness.

They need to get off their High Horse and realize People are not going to choose to build a $300 machine to get an XBMC interface when they can buy a $35-$100 box that plugs into their TV, Takes up little to no space and can be controlled by any Tablet or Phone. And in a much better way than any of the XBMC remotes do with the exception of Yatse who as I said if they get Channels working will do for XBMC what XBMC Sevs should be doing for themselves!
[Google Chromecast] Drizwaldo1:
Hi XDA,

I'm still looking for that XBMC live casting solution. Today I have found this new app... Cast2tv

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ytweb

From the app I have been able to cast u3m8 streams and I want to know if this can be applied to XBMC.

Can someone put me together a PLAYERCOREFACTORY file that launches this app (as default) from XBMC (XAF version)?

I have tried but I'm too Noob. The developer has been very helpful and here is a note from him:

for XBMC, you can try our launching activity "com.ytweb.CastActivity" or

our package name is "com.ytweb". The app is normally held at root/data/app

with the above package name.

He also adds that transcoding is coming for incompatible streams.

[Google Chromecast] lmt125:
Kit kat shouldn't have to do with finding a folder. You need a file explorer such es file explorer etc.

---------- Post added at 07:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 PM ----------

Hellon you should probably change the player core file default from avia to all cast

Hellon you should probably change the player core file default from avia to all cast

I changed it and now it wont play just get the external player message

Thanks. What i meant was that there was no userdata folder. I created it manually and copied the file. Can i watch live channels also using this method ??

Cant get option to play. Anythin with avia :(
[Google Chromecast] castbiro:
It is a hidden folder.

You need an App as ES File Explorer to show the folder.

After you installed ES File Explorer go to - Settings - Display Settings - Show hidden files. Then you will see the folder.

hi

as u all know theres secret code on the dialer that u can dial and: show ur imei\reset phone\hard reset and such.

im looking for method that LOCK my device to ALL of the codes (including showing my imei by *#06# and such...) - does anyone know how to do it?

im with stock rom 4/3 +root

tnx guys

Search safe to remove spreadsheet on this subforum, you can remove it via Titanium Backup.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] pete4k:
You do know most of the info from secret codes can be accessed in different ways?

Like your IMEI number shows in about device/status and there are many programs on google play that will do most of those functions as well.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] zroice:
delete all the "test" apps and factorymode stuff. (also delete CSC, preconfig and everything that has the same icon as those 2)

I did this on my phone (debloating hardcore mode) and now none of the magic codes work anymore - but yea the info is still there to see.

Even XPrivacy cannot hide the imei (anymore...)...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] pete4k:
Wouldn't this then be like putting steel bars on the windows and leaving front door open?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rastamit:
tnx

are u sure that the app name is "spreadsheet" ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rastamit:
hi

tnx

& sure i know
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rastamit:
worked like a charm :)

pitty that imei still shows on the phone.

TNX A LOT !
[Galaxy Note 3 General] radicalisto:
Any specific reason you wanna hide the IMEI? merely out of personal curiousity, not sure I get the point in hiding it?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rastamit:
Because I'm tired of hiding my device every time I come to visit the parents- fear that my little brother (that decided 2 himself that he is android-developer) and already ruined his S4 - will destroy my device too.

thats the all true bro :)
