Hi,

To push from an Ipad, you have to first start the y2cast program from an Android phone. So, why wouldn't you just also push from the Android phone instead of the Ipad. Am I missing something or is an Ipad version of y2cast coming where you wouldn't need the Android phone? Or would this work with 2 Chromecasts at the same time once you started y2cast, one for the phone and one from the Ipad?

Thanks
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
Think about this case:

You have an Android phone, your wife has a ipad.

She'd like to use ipad to push media file to chromecase, not operate on your Android phone, right?

:D
[Google Chromecast] vincent1964:
Hi Again,

I was trying to get this working on my computer without a phone using Bluestacks, an android emulator. It works the same as on the phone except the cast button doesn't show up on Y2Cast. Is there any way to get the cast button to show up that you know of or is it not possible.

Thanks
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
I do not try bluestacks, but please make sure y2cast and chromecast is under the same LAN, otherwise, it could not find chromecast.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
it seems bluestacks has different IP address, and it could not be changed.
[Google Chromecast] siratfus:
Depends on what people are watching. Because not all apps on Ipad are available on Android and vice versa. Or you may prefer how smoothly certain apps run on Ipad versus Android, or vice versa. I've tested it from our Ipad Air and I think it's brilliant.

Yes, it would be nice and tidy if y2cast was available for IOS. But this is a very cool work-around. Keep in mind you're still relegated to using apps that support DLNA. What would make y2cast even cooler is if it supported Airplay. Because I also tested apps on the Ipad that only support Airplay and the Airplay button was grayed out. I was hoping for some miracle that it would allow me to Airplay to y2cast. LOL! But it can't. You need DLNA supported apps.
[Google Chromecast] ermacwins:
The seekbar is definatelt smoother than allcast, shows the timer changing but the seek head returns to the beginning
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
Which app are you using with y2cast? moliplayer?
[Google Chromecast] ermacwins:
Yep moliplayer, forgot to mention it
[Google Chromecast] ironmaskusa:
All cast .avi video support from my android

I'm finding that I can't cast .avi files with Allcast or this app. Will there be any support? Mp4 files are the only video types I see. Further more, I've tried a lot of other cast apps for .avi files on my android nexus 7 and they just give a black screen and broken audio. Anyone had any success? Do tell! :P

Thanks.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
moliplayer has bug, it could not show correct "current position" of DLNA/UPnP.

But actually, the video is already jumped to the correct position.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
here is the supported media file:

https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/media

Video codecs

H.264 High Profile Level 4.1, 4.2 and 5

VP8
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
There is another APP which is almost the same as moliplayer.

It is "wondershare player", you could find it in google play store.

The time bar is correct during playback.

You could try it with y2cast.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
"wondershare play" + y2cast is a good solution for casting web video to chromecast.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
For local/lan playback, you could try "ez file explorer" and moliplayer/wondershare + y2cast.
[Google Chromecast] ermacwins:
It has smooth seeking but when you stop the seekbar after moving, it shows the beginning again. Best seekbar behaviour is bubbleupnp
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
wondershare is correct when move the seekbar, the bar will not go back to beginning.

What's the webpage do you access by wondershare?
[Google Chromecast] ermacwins:
not webpage, online videos
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
Which online video do you access?
[Google Chromecast] ermacwins:
From apps like showbox and tvportal. It gives option to play via chromecast or other video players
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
is there a link for showbox or tvportal?
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
y2cast could work with app which has external player supports, like xbmc, 1kxun.

e.g.: xbmc+moliplayer/wondershare+y2cast
[Google Chromecast] jmac8544:
All you need is the paid version of yatse remote for xbmc. Then download the stream add on for free in the play store. When you want to play showbox or tvportal, you "play it" using the stream plug in. Its very easy.
[Google Chromecast] ermacwins:
Did you try them?
[Google Chromecast] jmac8544:
Yeah. I tried both. No issues with showbox as long as the app worked. Some of TV portals links are not the right format so just try another link and your good. In all honesty I use TV portal more than xbmc lately because its less hassle to start watching a movie or show.

---------- Post added at 01:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------

Strike that. I use showbox for shows and videomix for movies. Its just the way theyre formatted and less hassle than xbmc.
[Google Chromecast] ermacwins:
Yea xbmc is hassle setting up. I wonder if I can save the config with titanium backup.

Also cartoon hd is another decent app.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
Do you try wondershare?
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
wondershare looks like the moliplayer, when you select a video, there will be a button to play outside the webpage, then you could select DLNA/UPnP to push the media, e.g.: y2cast.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
y2cast could support samba playback with moliplayer.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
y2cast could play local media file (video/audio) with moliplayer too.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
1kxun, xbmc could use external player mode to play media to moliplayer/wondershare, then render to y2cast.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
you could use y2cast+wondershare to see TED.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
you could try pptv with y2cast.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
you could search media content in wondershare, then render to y2cast.

you could search almost everything of web in wondershare.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
It's good idea to have airplay support.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
the guide of let xbmc cast to chromecast by y2cast:

http://www.xbmchub.com/forums/threa...oid(Y2Cast-amp-Moliplayer)-to-Chromecast-Free!

the guide works for me.

I could cast "apple itunes podcasts".
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
If you render a unsupported media file to y2cast/chromecast, it will show black screen.

then, you should try other video again.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
is there anyone meets DNS issue for chromecast?
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
with wondershare, y2cast could cast video from many different sources to chromecast.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
you do not need to keep your phone open or power on, or you could even exit y2cast, the link will be played by chromecast directly, the playback does not related to y2cast after you have rendered the link to y2cast.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
MX player does not support DLNA/UPnP.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Actually it will play from DLNA and UPnP sources but it can not navigate through them to select the content another app must be used.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
MX player does not support play to other renderer.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
With wondershare, y2cast could support play media from 1kxun app.

Or other apps which have external player option.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
you could play 3gp video from wondershare+y2cast to chromecast.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
y2cast is over 5000 downloads, mark.

:D
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
is there special APP which supports DLNA/UPnP renderer in different country?
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
y2cast supports ipad cast media to chromecast.

install y2cast on a android device;

install moliplayer on ipad;

play video in moliplayer of ipad, then it could render to y2cast;
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
for ipad+y2cast, you need two devices, one is ipad/iphone, second is one android pad/phone.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
sometimes, you could download video in your video APP, and play it locally when you want with y2cast.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
wondershare player could stream local media, and windows share too.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
you could use y2cast+wondershare to play content from DLNA/UPnP AV server in your LAN too.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
For DLNA/UPnP and samba in wondershare, please goes to "menu"->"share", it will show the list.

Then you could play it and render to y2cast.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
wondershare has a menu for "streaming", you could "add streaming media" manually.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
When you play video in moliplayer, if you could not see button for "play fullscreen", please restart moliplayer again, then you should see the button. Or you could try wondershare+y2cast.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
when you use wondershare or moliplayer, it will show "fullscreen" button when it got the real link of media file.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
if you do not see "fullscreen" button, please restart your moliplayer or wondershare, then it will show up.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
when you see "fullscreen" button, you could press it to leave the original playback, and play the media in new window, then you could render media to y2cast, and chromecast.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
is there anyone tried y2cast+bluestacks?
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
with pptv, kuaishou, 1kxun, you could see many Chinese movies.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
in wondershare, you could use download menu to play media file too.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
if you want mirror for chromecast, you could try mirror4cast:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.libmirror4cast.app
[Google Chromecast] reflame:
You should change TRY to BUY.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
LOL now you have gone and ruined my mimepp MOTD script!
[Google Chromecast] primetime34:
What happened to the thread about this app? I haven't bought it yet because I haven't heard anybody say that it works for them yet. Anybody have an idea where the app thread went??
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
According to the rule of this forum, paid app needs to be moved to "Paid Software Announcement and Discussion".

And updates from "Criminal23" for mirror4cast:

On my S3 (Bate Port 4.4.2) everything work well!

Enjoy it.;)
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
Free tral of mirror4cast is released.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.libmirror4cast.app.free.trial
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
refined receiver, it should be faster to load home of y2cast for some special region.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
you could control y2cast by desktop PC too.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
Is there any request for a dynamic background display on y2cast main page?
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
You could use y2cast to enjoy the world cup.
[Google Chromecast] q8wii:
How ??
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
you could use y2cast+wondershare.
[Google Chromecast] q8wii:

[Google Chromecast] Montisaquadeis:
Works fine with choosing ycast as a renderer in skifta now my only issue is no DTA or AC3 support on the chromecast. I do not want to reencode thounsands of files just to get audio on 1 single device when the rest of my network has no issues.

[Google Chromecast] mimepp:

[Google Chromecast] q8wii:
Can make this app work with iOS please
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
If you have another android device, you could push media from ios to android, then forwarded by y2cast to chromecast.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:

[Google Chromecast] mhopewell41:
I am using Samsung Tab 3 lite, the 7 inch model rooted but for some reason I can not get moliplayer to render to y2cast.....I feel like I have followed the instructions but it will not Render....any help would be appreciated.....I also tried it with avia still same result
[Google Chromecast] vnenov:
Great free program! The only dedicated DLNA/uPnP renderer I found on Google Play for Chromecast. BubbleUPnP has a renderer, but you have to play it on a local player, which then casts to Chromecast. Too many loops IMHO.

Now I can play Chromecast supported format videos from Windows Media Player directly to the y2cast renderer, which in turn is connected to Chromecast and displays the videos on my TV. This is until VLC releases a version to support casting videos to Chromecast. VideoStream is a Chrome extension that can cast local PC files to Chromecast, however the free version does not support playlists and other features I need.

I have one request for future y2cast releases: Is it possible the user to set/change the name of the renderer? Not sure why it is implemented this way, but a new name is generated with each restart (y2cast-<random number>), so I have to find it again in the DLNA controller software (Windows Media Player and MediaMonkey).

Thanks for the great program.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Actually, I checked this last week. Started BubbleUPnP playing content from my server running Serviio to my Chromecast via my phone. Started playback, then rebooted my phone. Movie continued playing on Chromecast, no glitches, didn't cut off, so I'm pretty sure the BubbleUPnP app that runs on Chromecast establishes a direct connect. I suppose there is the possibility there is a massive buffer, but I don't think there is.
[Google Chromecast] vnenov:
True, BubbleUPnP does play to Chromecast directly when used in this scenario as a DLNA browser to play files from a DLNA server (Serviio). However I tried to use it as a Local Renderer to play pushed videos and it would not display directly in Chromecast. I had to use another video player (in BubbleUPnP Settings - Local Renderer - Video Player - LocalCast) that played then the pushed video on the Chromecast and my TV.

So far my favorite Chromecast Android applications are LocalCast (the only one I found that can play smb shared videos on the Chromecast and has play queue and playlists, supports DLNA/uPnP servers as well) and y2cast (the only DLNA/uPnP renderer for Chromecast I am aware), both free. I have Plex and I love it, but sometimes I don't need to transcode and just need to play a file from smb share or directly from the PC on the Chromecast.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Ahh, I see, yes, different scenario.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
You could use y2cast with wondershare or moliplayer for smb/dlna,upnp server.

Wondershare or moliplayer could found smb and dlna/upnp server.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
y2cast could work with wondershare/moliplayer to play media from local, upnp/dlna server, samba, etc.
[Google Chromecast] helnandez:
Hi mate,how to work on PPS app?
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
Open PPS or other media source in wondershare/moliplayer, then you could play it through y2cast.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
Now, the download is over 10000, enjoy it!
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
y2cast could play bilibili.com with wondershare.

Could not work in my Chromecast

I followed your instruction steps but failed in the fifth steps. First , I opened y2cast and connected to my Chromecast. Then, I saw your wallpaper (with a baby in corner ^^). Then, I opened the APP of Targetv, play a video, select "Push" and then select y2cast. However, no screen and sound in my TV. Any help?
[Google Chromecast] calvinlam911:
it works now

The problem probably caused by my firewall apps. Thx!

Has anyone got Wondershare Player to work with Hulu lately? On my phone it insists on giving me the Hulu mobile site (clips only, still need to use Hulu+ app for full videos). On my tablet after selecting Hulu the screen goes blank white and then WSP returns to showing local content. Youtube works, but that's not really helpful.
[Google Chromecast] mimepp:
Please do not use youku app directly;

You could use Wondershare to open youku website, and select video, then push it to y2cast.
[Google Chromecast] trancebox:
Thanks for the reply mimepp.

I'm from singapore. Youku will not work outside of china unless I use proxy or VPN.

I would like to let my mother watch hong kong drama by pushing from youku app to chromecast tv.

My current setup is using EZunlock to set china DNS then watch from youku app.

I have tried to play video from wondershare. It did not work as it say i'm not in china.

And there is also a limit of 40mins if i watch from youku website.

So ya... a lot of problem..:(

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] licensedtoquill:
I broke and replaced the screen in my unlocked upgraded flashed-ROM wallaby and the unit now starts up and reports invalid SIM.

Is there any solution or should I re-flash the rom again and see if that works, hope for the best?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 3waygeek:
Try the SIM in a different (unlocked) phone, to make sure the SIM isn't fried. If the SIM is fried, you can get a new one from your provider. SIMs do get fried sometimes -- it happened to me a couple months back. Fortunately my provider (Cingular) has a shop just down the road from me, and they burned a new SIM in 5 minutes.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] licensedtoquill:
I apologise, I should have said

Sorry, I should have said, it does work in another machine and as I said, it did work immediately I used the xda flashing process to upgrade the ROM in this very unit before I dropped it.

Everything else in the new ROM seems to work which makes it infuriating that it wont recognise the SIM. I even tried calling T-Mobile and asking them if they could see the SIM on their network and they couldn't.

(I even have one of those SIM copying devices they send you free for some unknown reason when they want you to upgrade your service to some kind of higher level SIM card. I was wondering if I should try to use it again but as mine does work, this, like the whole copying device, seemed a bit academic)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] TechBossGR:
Hi guys,I saw in that the Xperia U which has 90% the same hardware as our Xperia Go has already AOKP 4.4 Nightlies,so I decided to make a port for our lovely Xperia Go.I succesfully booted the ROM but I have forgot to include some essential drivers/libs for camera so I remade the ROM but I did another stupid mistake so it doesn't boot again and I need to make it again :(.But there is no problem as it doesn't take much time so I think until tommorow I will have given you the first screenshots.So I made this thread so we can discusse some non-development related things.Because I am new to Android Development and XDA ROM posting (I have been using XDA as ROM finder since a long time) I think you could direct me correctly.

It is best to compile aokp from source rather than porting it (more performance). But ported rom is also quite okay:)

[MENTION=5728354]TechBossGR[/MENTION] feel free to port it :) but as [MENTION=5302450]wan5xp[/MENTION] said, source built is better. I can help you(or anyone building) for building from source :)

Cheers,

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] TechBossGR:
[MENTION=4766488]Abhinav2[/MENTION] Thanks for the permission!Unfortunately I don't have a powerful computer (Intel C2D 2.5Ghz,3GB,200GB is my rig) and I don't have enough time to learn about it!But thanks for your willing to help me (or anyone else).It would be helped me if you could give me a link which explain some things like DeviceTree and others.Now,for the ROM I'm really sorry but I didn't have enough time to finish the ROM so I will probably finish it at the weekend.How much difference will have a ported ROM from a ROM which was built from source?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] wan5xp:
Don't worry. My laptop is almost the same as your rig, only with 2gb of ram. I am also a beginner. With abhinav2 help, i'm sure you can do it. Ported rom sometime have stability issue
