I'm trying to understand why Allcast can't see or browse a filesystem. No file browser?

I have an nfs share mounted at /data/media/0/video and Allcast doesn't seem aware that there are videos there. Possibly a media scanner issue and it will resolve once the scan is done, but even then I'd like to be able to browse through them with a file browser.

Interesting - the solid explorer app has a cast plugin that lets you direct files to a chromecast from within the app.

Nicely done.

Now if only Chrome had as much file type support as my 3? 4? year old western digital tv live plus box does...
[Google Chromecast] Mae7:
My premium all cast won't connect to my PC. It shows it but won't connect. Even ES file explorer works and gives the option to play through all cast but it won't work.
[Google Chromecast] Anlupa:
Allcast premium connect with my Samsung smart tv, but doesn't work. It can't send any media file.

[Google Chromecast] MWFD:
Would be great if it could cast streamed video (for apps that don't yet support the Chromecast natively) and not just content stored locally.
[Google Chromecast] shelby04861:
I finally bought the premium allcast key. On my s4 I can't seem to see my media server mp4 movies. Bubbleupnp app seems to work fine. The app sees my servers and sees my photos and music, just not my movies.
[Google Chromecast] CZroe:
I can cast some of my old Handbrake encodes to Apple TV but not nearly all. The ones that I would expect to cast easily usually don't (simple profile, normal presets, standard def). Shouldn't they work? Almost all I can cast are videos I made on my phone and images. It's been this way since the private beta.
[Google Chromecast] shelby04861:
Mine all worked before. All mp4 movies. The app sees the server and all music and photos fine. Just not movies. If I use a file explorer and select the movie and have all cast play it, it will not work either.
[Google Chromecast] :
Subtitels?

I have a problem with subtitles.

I have a video file and the corresponding subtitles (. Srt), the same name as the video file, in the same directory.

But allcast plays no subtitels.

The newer Versions of allcast should play Videofiles with subtitels.

Or does it not work with chromecast?
[Google Chromecast] CZroe:
It worked for me on Chromecast back when I first tested so I know an older version worked at least.
[Google Chromecast] gladii:
It would be awesome if I could plug my headphones into my phone or tablet and get sound through there! As an alternative to plugging them into my TV, which can only be done with a cordless headset...

Also WiFi direct between the smartTV and my device would be great, so that the TV can connect to my phone to stream
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
It's been discussed before... The trick is audio/video sync as your phone/tablet is a separate device from Chromecast. In theory it's possible, but would require more pre-buffering and consistent latency on your wireless network to avoid pauses during playback for correction. The same goes for subtitles (showing subtitle on your device while video plays on Chromecast).
[Google Chromecast] cmstlist:
LocalCast has that as an experimental option but you have to manually adjust the latency. I was unable to ever get it to sync.
[Google Chromecast] ganggreen777:
I read awhile back via g+ that Koucsh (sp) was going to make it that Allcast would mirror the phone. As to like having a Samsung dongle mirroring (which i do alot)my N2. ....anyone have any insight on that?
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Already in test/beta from Google, apparently available for developer Chromecasts in Spain. Now available for non developers with rooted units too. See the Eureka-ROM thread.

This thread should be close per Rule 11 of XDA, imho

Moderators -- given run 11 and the "no crippleware" rule, why is this thread here?

http://www.xda-developers.com/announcements/a-guide-to-paid-work-on-xda-developers/ and http://xdaforums.com/announcement.p...tmctr=(not provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=26389310

I'm not here to suggest [MENTION=617884]Koush[/MENTION] isn't one who deserves space, but rules are rules, and this is crippleware without a doubt.

All imho.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Koush did not start this thread a user did.

And since the App is one of the few apps that support CCast it most certainly is a valid topic of discussion here.

All Cast Free version will work with extra features available with the premium.

If All Cast was against the rules so too would any discussion of Plex and truth be told just about ANY software written to support CCast.

They all seem to be a Plus Paid service in Apps that already existed like aVia. Bubble is free but will charge for the Transcoding side.

So I see no rule violations here on this thread. The OP has nothing to gain by his post.

And since people with a CCast are very likely to come here for support of those apps I see nothing wrong with them being here.
[Google Chromecast] ganggreen777:
Both of mine are not rooted and probably can't be...since I think both received updates (not allowing) rooting. I saw a post in Eureka-ROM that there is someone selling trustworthy cc's rooted

Might take a look see...but it will be nice if he does get his app to mirror. ..w/O root
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
While having a rooted CCast is a nice toy to play with...

I guarantee if the feature works at all (and it does) it will eventually make it to everyone.

Probably as an announcement during Google I/O because there isn't really much else to announce regarding the CCast and they need something to announce at that event.
[Google Chromecast] tdhite:
Fair points, as I said -- all imho. But Rule 11 is toothless if all one needs is a proxy to do his bidding. Not at all proposing that here, just food for thought.

no worries -- I'm not out to 'get' folks, this one just surprises me with the severe limitations on the unpaid software.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
I wasn't getting on you or anything...

Just pointing out that ANY talk of software here would fall under that category then and then there would really be no need to have this site at all! LOL

[Google Chromecast] techguyone:
Does allcast have an issue with distant chromecasts?

One of my chromes is a way off, and Allcast never sees it, although Youtube does.

Anyone else have this issue if they have more than one chromecast, and it's towards the weaker side of the wi-fi range.
[Google Chromecast] CZroe:
It doesn't communicate with it directly. As long as both the phone and the Chromecasr have a decent connection to the same LAN, it should work just as well regardless of their spatial relationship.
[Google Chromecast] techguyone:
Yes, just found it odd that Youtube worked, but Allcast didn't. Clearly the distance from the router isn't the problem.

Hi fellows,

I was wondering about the small grill holes on front of the Alpine cradle since I am using it. today I have finally opened it and that was a dissapointment, there was nothing attached to that grill as I was thinking it could be a microphone or a speaker. Have a look.

Cheers

Sidd
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Surgle:
Ha!

Thank you for doing that. It was something I'd wondered too! :D

My question to you now is....

...did your cradle still work when you put it back together? lol
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] sidd:
Yeh mate, it is working absolutely fine.

Cheers

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Server:
are there some adjustable elements? I am thinking, why my 4500mA battery does not work with it max capacity... It can not charge fully. :(
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] sidd:
No Server, there were not any adjustable switches or jumper at all. This is just a simple 2 PCB cradle as you can see in the picture, 2 PCB (printed Circuit Board) one for phone and other for battery (indivisually).

Try to check your FULLY CHARGED battery with a voltage checking machine (Multi meter) and see if the mentioned "mAh & VDC" are giving the correct output, if not and if you have bought it recently, then try to talk to the seller.

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Server:
pins 2 ad 3 via wich charge is going reports me 0v... :(

My multimeter can not see any voltage on them at all!!!

Both battery somehow senses precence of the phone(so, in phone it works)...

Is this possible with this multimeter: http://www.multimeterwarehouse.com/dt830b.htm
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] sidd:
If the phone is detecting the batteries that means obviously the batteries has got voltage in them, seems like you are not using the right setting on your multimeter, try to check any normal AA (normal household) battery and see if the multimeter is showing anything.

GoodLuck

Sidd
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Server:
Yes, on normal battery and even on Siemens SX1's battery voltage shows.

But no voltage on Qtek battery. Using pin 2 and 3, 20V DCV setting on the multimeter.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] mtbsoft:
I got a serial cradle some time back to permit me to sync. to Virtual PC (since the Connectix version didn't support USB). I was also curious so I looked - on the serial cradle, there IS a microphone behind the grill. I've not been able to do much with it but it is there.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] sidd:
Hi server sorry for the late reply mate.

Ok The problem is I haven't got any multimeter with me at the moment, I might go to some electric shop to try one. I will let you know as soon as I got something.

Second Battery Slot - Does it Work?

sidd,

Do you know if the spare battery slot actually charges a battery if you put one in?

Kind regards.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] sidd:
Yes it absolutely does charge the battery, it also indicate by an ORANGE light where written "Aux Battery", and turns GREEN once fully charge.

Sidd
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] viffer:
Thanks sidd ...

Bu$$er. Mine must be broken. It has never worked, never lit Aux light, any colour. Is there any selection I might have missed, or is it most likely a duff cradle, would you say?

Kind regards,

viffer
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] mtbsoft:
The second slot will only charge if you have the power supply plugged in, it won't work off the USB alone. I have three cradles (two USB, one serial) - they all behave the same.

Alpine Cradle 2nd Battery Slot

sidd/mtbsoft

All working now thanks. I had been using a gash multi-voltage power supply from Tandy. When I brought the original O2 power pack down from the bedroom and swapped it, everything worked fine.

Thanks all.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] sidd:
anytime mate,

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] ianpac:
Those grills are for a microphone but this is not included in the standard cradle supplied with the phone. You have to order the special cradle from an O2 supplier. The spare jack socket at the rear is also designed to connect to external stereo speakers but again is missing in the standard cradle. Considering the price of the XDA it is sad to think they removed these minor items so that we would need to order another cradle at $60 if we wanted to use our XDAs as desktop music players. They saved a dollar in costs and removed much of the funtionality of the cradle.....
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] christopherwoods:
Bit **** that, ain't it. :/
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] tomsimmons:
Now this might be pushing it but, it seems we have some chaps here that aren't to daft when it comes to electronics?! So what I'm thinking if someone has the cradle that does have the mic etc in it, then we could have a butchers at theirs, and retro fit ours?
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] tomsimmons:
I don't suppose you fancy taking the base off again?

I wonder if you could compare the insides of you serial cradle that has the mic with the insides of a USB that doesn't.

The reason I ask is I'm wondering if we'd find that everything is there for the mic/speaker on the USB version, just the mic is missing. If that was a case its easy to get hold of a mic and add it in yourself.

This has all suddenly reminded me of a article I saw when I first got my XDA, some chap saying that he was doing hands free at his desk using the cradle.

So this is a very peculiar problem, where my phone hangs, process.system crashes, my onscreen keys vanish

I have been able to recreate it

By playing any music through Walkman

Then opening the movies app(not playing any video)

Stops the music that is playing

If I then play any music or video through any player

the phone hangs indefinitely

Or

movies crash

Process. System crashes

Home,back etc vanish

Photos app, the photos become pixilated

I have cleared data on both the apps, cleared the phones cache.

Reinstalled movies and Walkman

But the problem doesn't go away :'(

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcoplo:
what worries me is the force to close or crashes . Sir. That means some of the system files are damages. I suggest you do backup the data ASAP.

I don't think you have much choice there !

I flash my one once every week and I don't care!

is your phone rooted???
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Denhot:
Nope it's not rooted, it's stock, I had it warranty replaced a month back.

It's my daily driver, so It's bit of a pain, but I think I agree with that system files might be corrupted, better to restore to a new system image.

Flashtool will let me flash the same firmware without wiping my data right? Will that be advisable in my case? :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] slick69:
I have MOF2.3.5ish installed on my Photon and the Wi-Fi doesn't work, it just says Wi-Fi: Error. I gather that this is a problem because I didn't activate it on Sprint.

I'm not in the US, so I can't activate it on a native Sprint network. What can I do in this case, what ROM will help me? It is unlocked and rooted naturally.

In the Data Roaming screen, all the boxes are checked and grayed out, so I can't even switch on my mobile data. How do I get a working phone? I recently lost my main phone so I need this working urgently. Your help is important!
[Motorola Photon 4G] slick69:
Ok, I realized that I made a backup of my working installation before I upgraded to ICS originally, but I can't restore it since it was a different recovery.

Can anyone help me get the brand/version of recovery that are the most common? Right now I have CWM Red and it saves the backups in clockworkmod/backups whereas the old recovery saved it in nandroid/MB133S09455 or something. Any tips would be appreciated!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tgrgrd00:
So work is giving me a S4 from Verizon. I am on the fence about rooting it because of it being a work device. They haven't said can or can't root but I don't want to mess it up the first day they give it to me either.

I haven't ever actually used a non-rooted Android phone so it is going to be very tempting to just do it. I am very experienced with rooting devices but not being familiar with the S4 I am a little apprehensive.

My question to the S4 users is there much risk involved with rooting this device? Are there a lot of bricks or is it pretty simple? Any reason you wouldn't root a work device?

I have read through a lot of the threads in the S4 section (have the root instructions) and have seen a few problems but probably no more than any other device. But I have read over the past several months about Knox or something which has caused me to question whether to root or not. This will be my first Samsung Android device.

Thanks!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Using SafeRoot to root your phone is extremely safe. Its been tested and used extensively and to my knowledge there is not a risk of really doing anything harmful to your phone using that method. It doesn't trip Knox so in the event you needed it or have to give the phone back just unroot it using supersu and your good!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tgrgrd00:
Thanks Mistertac, that's what I wanted to know. Appreciate it. Will probably be checking these forums more frequently now. :good:

I have bought this flip cover from Amazon - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00H1X8FHY

It is very nice but unfortunately it does not have the magnet placed in the cover for wake/sleep functions. I was thinking of modifying the case so that it does have this feature. I thought about sourcing some strong magnetic strips to put into the credit card slot on the inside of the cover. This was when it comes into contact with the screen it will sleep and when its lifted away it will wake.

Do you think this will work? Could it cause any issues with the phone?
