[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Trentw25:
"System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help" This is the error message I am getting. The only place I can get to is download mode.

I tried updating from 4.2.1 to 4.3 manually because no matter how many times I tried to update from the phone it wouldn't install all the way. I used ODIN to manually update it to the newest firmware. I'm starting to think it was just a root to a 4.3 custom rom. It stopped randomly and that's when I got the error message. I have tried turning it off and on multiple times and also with removing the battery.

I'm not sure if my phone is bricked or soft-bricked.

Any information is helpful. I hope there is a way to get back to stock

Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 I535

Thank you so much. Trent
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
If you are in doubt use the Verizon utility but the Odin file is from the utility so if you got it from me I don't know what the problem is.

Would you like to stream XBMC through Avia to Chromecast?

Put this https://www.dropbox.com/s/d8pl1adtlo8rp90/playercorefactory.xml in sdcard/android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/userdata

Now Avia is the player allowing you to chromecast.
[Google Chromecast] blitz_7:
Wow thanks, worked perfectly. Just a note, I had to clear the cache for my xbmc app to get it to load first.
[Google Chromecast] maxjivi05:
Can't get it to work.. any more details on how to make it work?
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
What your doing with XBMC is not all that different than what you do with aVia using Plex...

The difference is XBMC has no transcoding capability on it's DLNA server so if the files are not CCast compatible you may run into some issues with those.

It will work as will any DLNA server you could be running.
[Google Chromecast] 12edz:
Can u tell me step by step to cast from xbmc app ?

I have xbmc app in my Nexus 4. :)
[Google Chromecast] maxjivi05:
Oh I was using 1channel and streaming I guess that don't work.
[Google Chromecast] stewwmann:
Yeah, thanks for this, but how do I get xbmc to stream to cc? I have this file in where you said, and i have cleared cache for both avia and xbmc, but I see no cc button in xbmc or anything like that. how do I get all 3 to see each other?
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
You don't stream it from XBMC you are just routing it through aVia....

It would seem that all your doing is adding player profiles to XBMC (android) which may make it work or be seen by aVia.
[Google Chromecast] coma73:
Ya I installed like u said but still not sure how to stream.
[Google Chromecast] blitz_7:
All I did too get this to work was follow the first post, cleared caches and rebooted my S4. I launched xbmc and When I picked what I wanted to watch avia launched and I hit the cast button. All was good depending on what file type the show in.
[Google Chromecast] argonzal:
Does this simply play local media through XBMC or will it play add on channels also?
[Google Chromecast] jasenko:
Depends on the format. Some sources work fine, some doesn't.
[Google Chromecast] darren1:
I couldn't get this to work with the build from official XBMC site, but is working well with XAF build from here.

http://www.xbmcandroid.com/2013/05/...-xaf-custom-build-of-xbmc-for-android-is-out/

If installing XAF build you will need to uninstall official build first as it is signed differently (you can back up with XBMC Backup).
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Many of those channels use streaming methods that are incompatible with CCast at this point in time. It's a good bet that if the streams require an external player ext in Chrome to play, they will not work on the CCast since it has no ability to add extensions to it's limited Chrome implementation.

Many of those channels are available freely on the web and may even be made available in Real Player as channels. (Not sure I don't have Real Player installed) so that might be the way to see that content on CCast.

Unfortunately it is not likely that something like Plex that has transcoding will be able to transcode those files due to the fact that they are streams and not files and Transcoders don't like to wait around for input.

Me personally while I like the channel capabilities in XBMC and Plex I would much rather the content providers support CCast in their own Apps which most have available because then when they change their system for storage their App will change to reflect that as opposed to jst stop working which is common with Channels on Plex and XBMC,

OH and for the record I'm not sure but it seems very likely that the OP was referring to XBMC for Android not XBMC for other Operating systems as far as local content is concerned.

And while it may be true the fact is aVia should be able to see the same files XBMC Android can see on the device and since XBMC does not transcode at all you really not gaining anything other than the importing of the XBMC library to make navigation easier.
[Google Chromecast] DJames1:
It's interesting that almost all the Plex streaming channels work with a Roku box as the client player, but none of them work with the Chromecast. Perhaps Roku does something substantially different, perhaps it's just a matter of testing and debugging (Roku is the #1 client for Plex), or perhaps Google has no intention of allowing Plex channels on the CC.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
I don't find it all that interesting...Roku is a much more robust box than Chromecast is. It doesn't rely on a single browser for everything the way CCast does.

CCast is not meant as another version of Roku, It is another version of Miracast and if you look it in that way you see Chromecast is far superior to what it is competing with.

and truth is as recently as a year ago Roku didn't even support DLNA at all....

It took a 3rd Party developer to create an APP that would see and play DLNA content.
[Google Chromecast] jasenko:
Don't have any real data to prove it, but it seems like Plex tries to route the external stream through the server to your device and then to Chromecast. I managed to start a couple of streams (out of about 20 that I tried) through Plex and unsupported channels, but XBMC was perfect every time providing Chromecast supports the format and the stream was available on the third party site. I mainly wanted and was playing around with XBMC on Android to be able to watch the stuff from some of the channels, but vGET just "killed" that fun for me, working perfectly so far for everything I tried.
[Google Chromecast] frostyguy:
When searching through sdcard/android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/userdata. I couldn't find the userdata folder so I created one. Tried to place the file into it and no luck, even tried placing it in the /files folder. I'm testing this on my HP touchpad jellybean 4.3
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
I believe (and I'm guessing) Plex is (as far as channels are concerned) is trying to do what aVia currently does with content only instead of the player acting as the middleman Plex tries to use the server.

But I don't believe it is transcoding as much as merely stripping the feed from the source web it came from and sending you just the video stream part.
[Google Chromecast] awren:
Same here. Çant find the user data file.
[Google Chromecast] lmt125:
You have to open Xbmc at least one time and then you should see the folder.
[Google Chromecast] tristaoeast:
Well I'm trying to cast a .mp4 video I have in my external sdcard with the latest stable official version of XBMC and your playercore xml, but all I get is the annoying window with "Click OK when playback has ended"... No avia popup or any other of the programs that I tried for the matter... didn't want to go back to Frodo...

Update: tried the xaf xbmc, it works great with MXPlayer (think I'll stick with it to watch on the tablet) but it still doesn't get past the window when I select avia, bubbleupnp, LocalCast or VLC (yes, I have all of them installed...)

It seems that MXPlayer is the only one that works... Any ideas?
[Google Chromecast] tristaoeast:
I've also tried the XBMCast provided in an early post, and the results were the same...

---------- Post added at 01:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 AM ----------

ok, after several hours around this, I've reached the conclusion that these methods posted here only work with those Video add-ons, since I've managed to get it "working" with Youtube, but not with local files, so this is a no-go for me... Hope that XBMC devs decide to work in a native solution for CCast that supports local files... (by local files I mean supported extensions by CCast, like .mp4)
[Google Chromecast] jessejames44:
I had a lot of problems as well gave up and downloaded avia,allcast,show box and tv portal.No problems at all runs perfectly.http://xbmchelper.squarespace.com/free-apps/

You shouldn't have to select anything it should just play on bubbleupnp

---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 PM ----------

I use it with the mashup add on without issues... Don't know what else to tell you guys
[Google Chromecast] q8wii:
Did sportdevil plug in work or not ??
[Google Chromecast] tristaoeast:
I know you made bubbleupnp the default player, but I tried it and all the other external players, and like I said with local files the only one that works is mxplayer, which doesn't support CCast, so it defeats the purpose of this... And I really wanted to use with local files and files in a samba share... So I guess that at least for now I'll have to find another way of streaming those contents to chromecast...

But what bugs me is the fact that it works with some add-ons and doesn't work with local files in the formats supported by the CCast... That's what really annoys me... Hope that XBMC devs someday decide to supoprt CCast streaming ;b

what I really love about XBMC is how simple it is to download the subtitles, no need to search, move and rename them, that's why I insist in using it... ;b
[Google Chromecast] tharmor:
Does mashup filmon cartoonhd work using this method ??
[Google Chromecast] lmt125:
It works for me. I just uninstalled and installed the latest xbmc which is 13.1 gotham for my phone. Installed mashup, exited out of xbmc, used es file explorer (make sure you can see hidden folders) copied the playercore file into sdcard/android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/userdata

Then opened xbmc, mashup selected a movie and it started playing through bubbleupnp on my chromecast

I really only use the mashup add on cause it has everything basically and I also add youtube for the trailers to play

One more thing make sure that in bubbleupnp you have the device set up to chromecast and not local renderer
[Google Chromecast] mobilecj:
ive loaded the file and have my server setup but i just have the movie link sitting in the playlist and everytime i hit play i see it acting like its going to play but never plays how can i get this to work
[Google Chromecast] mikeparkie:
Anyone know what the intents are for Plex, I want to be able to send an intent to launch Plex and have it connect to my ChromeCast? I believe it should be possible. I've had a look through the forum but I don't see what I'm after so apologies if I've missed it.
[Google Chromecast] lmt125:
I believe Plex has native Chromecast support if you're using the paid app.

There is an add on in XBMC for Plex maybe you can use that if you don't want to use the paid app.
[Google Chromecast] hija31:
I bought a Chromecast two weeks ago and I've been trying to cast a local-network files and it's working.

Set-up:

Nexus7 2012 tablet.

Xbmc 13.1

Yatse paid.

Here are the Xbmc settings:

See photos 1-7

Allcast:

Mkv files = no sound

stutter ( I think it has to do with network connection = not so good)

Avia:

Same as Allcast

BubbleUPnP

Plays everything ( for 20 min.- must have paid ver. for more )

stutter = see up.

I can also start a movie with Yatse, tap on share icon and select one of the above players.

P.S.

It only works for the media files ( photo, music, movies) and not for the live streams.
[Google Chromecast] erdal67:
It's not your network connection, the Chromecast doesn't support the audio codecs used in most mvk's and avi's.

BubbleUpNP does the job if you want to play unsupported formats...
[Google Chromecast] chrisnewton:
Hi all i have joined the party late, just got my chormecast today and ofcourse i want XBMC to work on it. I did the first method, downloaded a version of XMBC, Avia etc, copied the file into directory (i have a nexus 7 2013) and it kinda worked on masup but not on all of the films just a selected few.

I want to try this bubbleup ap, so i have downloaded the app and im stuck. So with this in mind do i just need to download the lastest version of XBMC from the official website or is it still an XAF version i need? and do i need to download the player core factory in this message above for the bubbleup app to work?

Thanks all

Chris
[Google Chromecast] lmt125:
Yes you need to download the player core factory just replace which ever you have now. What issues are you having?
[Google Chromecast] chrisnewton:
Well avia does not seem to play all films, some don't have sound etc, will bubbleup solve this?
[Google Chromecast] lmt125:
You need to get the pro version of bubbleupnp and download the free server on a computer it will play pretty much any file as it will tranacode it for Chromecast. I use mashup all the time with no issues.
[Google Chromecast] chrisnewton:
Is it easy to set up server? Does your computer need to be on all the time?
[Google Chromecast] lmt125:
Yeah it does need to be on. Just install it on a laptop sometimes if bubbleupnp isn't working I uninstall and reinstall the server. I didn't do any configuration to it.

And you have to make that when you cast something it'll open bubbleupnp on the phone just make sure that the renderer is Chromecast
[Google Chromecast] chrisnewton:
So How does it work? I install server on laptop, then I use xbmc on my Nexus and stream it to chromecast? So where does the server come in? What does it do?

Thanks for your time on this.
[Google Chromecast] lmt125:
The server is what makes it go through bubbleupnp I think. Its free but you need the paid app if you want to stream more than 30 minutes of an unsupported file.
[Google Chromecast] chrisnewton:
So I can try it for free first for 30 mins? Where do I go to install server on pc?
[Google Chromecast] lmt125:
Look up bubble upnp server there should be videos on YouTube
[Google Chromecast] chrisnewton:
Thanks im going to have a play tonight with it, just one more question. Do you need to copy that file for it to work? Can you just not long press a video in xbmc and select bubble up? Or does that file do something else to?
[Google Chromecast] chrisnewton:
Also did you have to open any ports on your router?
[Google Chromecast] lmt125:
I didn't open any ports because quite frankly I don't understand what that means. After installing XBMC you need to open it once maybe configure your add-on. Exit out. Then yes go into the files through a file manager and add this file. That way you don't need to long press it'll always play it through bubbleupnp.
[Google Chromecast] chrisnewton:
Does it play live streaming thought mashup?
[Google Chromecast] lmt125:
I don't know I never use live streaming. You know you have other options like connecting a laptop through HDMI.
[Google Chromecast] chrisnewton:
I know but this is my new toy, I'll have a fiddle tonight thanks
[Google Chromecast] tharmor:
If you have nexus 5 why dont you use screen casting from urml phone...
[Google Chromecast] mikeparkie:
I have the paid Plex app, I know how to setup intents etc. So what intents would I be using? and do I need AutoShare? thanks :)
[Google Chromecast] chrisnewton:
Because I love to try and figure stuff out. I'm weird like that lol
[Google Chromecast] tharmor:
Have you ever tried ? How are the results ??
[Google Chromecast] chrisnewton:
Looks OK.... But get the feeling it could be better direct from xbmc
[Google Chromecast] ZhekaS:
Any way to stream from PC installed XBMC to chromecast, without the phone-side stuff?
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
If you mean without using Yatse on your phone then the answer is no!

Choose between external players

Hey guys,

I was wondering if someone can give me a hint to solve my problem.

I'm able to cast my XBMC 13.2 Gotham to TV using both AVIA and LocalCast apps. I use a single playercorefactory.xml file in XBMC's user data directory, and every time I wanna switch between the two apps (AVIA or LocalCast) I just open up the playercorefactory.xml file and change the following line:

for AVIA

<rule video="true" player="Avia"/>

for LcalCast

<rule video="true" player="LocalCast"/>

So, I was wondering if there is anyway to get the option to choose between the two apps inside XBMC, so I dont need to change the XML file every time I want to switch between the two apps. I tried long pressing on the links in XBMC to see any if "play using" menu pops out... but this didn't work.

Thanks for your help in advance.
[Google Chromecast] myjoejoe:
Hello man can you shear with me the your player core factory.xml file you for casting xbmc with localcast to Chromecast.tnx

Is their a way to use the xml as an option and then just play on the device and not always cast it

Here is a video with instructions for streaming XBMC(Kodi) to Chromecast using LocalCast. The PlayerCoreFactory.xml file download link as well as links for all of the other software needed is in the video description.

I am also wondering, I installed the player core from the video above, but now I can't watch anything just on my phone, it will only try to play over the chrome cast, is there a way to switch and just watch it on my phone or use the Chromecast?

I have had my Chromecast a few weeks now and have been following this thread without any success until today.I have upgraded to Andriod 5.0 on my Galaxy S4 and there is a cast toggle also another toggle which says screen mirroring.I activated this swithc to xbmc and its there streaming to my Plasma display.

external player active

Hi all I have read every post on here and still can't get a clear answer regarding the "external player active" message when trying to play a live stream such as sports devil, I can play a movie link in all external players but have tried numerous combinations of xbmc kodi and tvmc and NONE of them will play a live stream giving the above error. Is there an answer to this or is it just a case of xbmc/Kodi have blocked this as it is not allowed and no one wants to just say that. If anyone has a clear answer to fixing the external player active on live streams please please let me know, if it is not possible then let me know too and I will rest my brain and get out the laptop and HDMI cable again.

Many thanks in advance

[Google Chromecast] blacryan:
Guys, so I have a chromecast connected to my front room TV. Really want to be able to stream XBMC to it w/o using the "cast entire screen" since it causes it to lag/studder so bad, any suggestions on a way to do this and it be better?

Wanted to add, I've figured out how to use bubbleupnp and play audio/video files that are already on my pc. But basically I want to use 1channel/icefilms and stream those things from my PC to chromecast, is that a possibility any other way besides the 'cast entire screen'?
[Google Chromecast] yodasmaster:
BubbleUPnp should be able to cast the web streams to your chromecast, you will need to put a bubbleUPNP playercorefactory.xml (post #229) into the appropriate folder.
[Google Chromecast] sunnycheeba:
If you install XBMC on your Android device streaming 1channel/Icefilms to Chromecast is no problem.

A few pages back I posted a great free streaming solution that has no time limitations to trans-coding (Avia costs $4.99 and BubbleUPnP transcoding is limited to 20 min in the free version) . This solution plays 1080p content with no hiccups

It uses the latest version of Kodi/XBMC for Android (from XBMC.org) with LocalCast and ESFileExplorer (both free from Google Play store) and a custom PlayerCoreFactory.xml (download link in video decription) . Installation instructions and links to all of files needed can be found in the YouTube video description in the following video.
