I do have play controls but they are handled by the chromecast sdk through the media router. They don't control plex.
[Google Chromecast] abuttino:
Can this be handled with broadcasting intents?
[Google Chromecast] jeepguy04:
Are you trying to control the chromecast or regular plex clients?
[Google Chromecast] abuttino:
Just the ChromeCast
[Google Chromecast] jeepguy04:
I would start by digging around the cast sdk http://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/gms/cast/package-summary.html

The way the sample shows, when you connect to a chromecast it changes the app on the chromecast to your app. So I couldn't control google play music playing on the chromecast with my app. But I bet there is a way to connect to the current session without changing the app. I know there was an app in the play store that does that. (RemoteCast - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.benlc.camcast&hl=en)
[Google Chromecast] jeepguy04:
Specifically I would look at the CastMediaControlIntent and MediaRouteSelector.

When my app connects it calls:

mMediaRouter = MediaRouter.getInstance(context);

mMediaRouteSelector = new MediaRouteSelector.Builder().addControlCategory(

CastMediaControlIntent.categoryForCast(mApplicationId)).build();

mMediaRouterCallback = new CastMediaRouterCallback(this, context);

mMediaRouter.addCallback(mMediaRouteSelector, mMediaRouterCallback,

MediaRouter.CALLBACK_FLAG_PERFORM_ACTIVE_SCAN);

But I'm wondering if you called it without adding a control category if that would work.

Or passed in categoryForRemotePlayback() instead of categoryForCast(mApplicationId) which would at least let you control apps that used the default Media Receiver.

I may look into it next week if I have time. Having an app that could control whatever is playing on the chromecast but also have hooks where app like tasker could interface with it would be pretty neat.
[Google Chromecast] abuttino:
If you make it a Tasker plugin, I'll be sure to have users required to install it (and possibly pay if you want).

Because, the app for my remote control is fully built in Tasker.

These are a few screenshots I took a while ago, the layout has changed to make it look a lot better. I don't really want to post more than these "teasers".

As you can see, this is quite a comprehensive remote controller, on top of the fact it is multifunctional and switches modes automatically based upon what is on your TV at the very moment. It has live TV/Music support within WMC for data retrieval as well.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Played with this last night. Works well and seems to be a very good option for those waiting for CCast functions to go public without the need for PlexPass.

I can't comment on how it works with transcoding since all of my Plex media is Direct Play compatible with CCast but if it does use the new transcoder and send to CCast properly (I'm going to guess not since the CCast side player must communicate with the server properly) it should be a good option for now.

Only thing it did not do for me was switch inputs (via CEC) when I connected to the CCast. (Minor thing really)

Other than that great Job!

I'm not entirely sure but I'm betting it is possible (if not now then when the CCast support goes full public) to incorporate and load the official Plex Player onto the CCast which would get you all the transcoding goodness.

I believe the Plex Pass requirement is negotiated on the Launch side not the CCast Player side.

So if you told the CCast to load the Plex Player you could utilize all of the transcoding features the current player supports.

Not sure if that entails permission or licencing but it wouldn't hurt to ask them. Worst they can say is no and you just add what is needed to your own player to negotiate the transcoding.
[Google Chromecast] jeepguy04:
Thanks to all that tested it.

I've released it to everybody not in the Play Store -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fivehellions.android.plexicast

As far as transcoding goes. It currently does not do any transcoding. Only plays formats supported by the chromecast. I will look into ways to add transcoding, but I'm betting I won't be able to use Plex's built in transcoding.
[Google Chromecast] mathorv:
So if I understand statement above correctly only flv, mp4 and webm formats are supported and you want to charge money for this functionality?

There is chrome plugin that does that for free - Videostream for Google Chromecast™ that requires only chrome.

At the moment there is market growing demand for affordable PC to Chromecast transcoding.
[Google Chromecast] jeepguy04:
Experimental transcoding feature now added. See first post.
[Google Chromecast] philofax:
if this was already answered, please be so kind to push me in the right direction...

a) all i can see is ALL and MOVIES on the dropdown menu. series are not visible.

b) when not cheking the "transcoding", i can't see anything. when checked, movies are there.

c) since i can't figure out why series are not showing up, i imported then to movies but this

brings me to a logistic problem as they are not in subfolders for seasons.

i guess c) is more or less a plex issue ... nevertheless, what am i doing wrong here?

thx in advance ;)
[Google Chromecast] jeepguy04:
Your not doing anything wrong. The app just doesn't support tv shows yet (or music or photos). There is no reason it can't play the tv shows, I just haven't had time to add it. The xml for the tv meta data is different with the hierarchy of the series and seasons and episodes. I just have to build the part to parse that metadata that the plex server returns. I also have to build the screens to show the different episodes when you select a series.

It shouldn't be too hard to add support for tv shows. And that will probably be the next piece that I work on. I don't like giving deadlines since a busy life may keep me from meeting them. But hopefully it won't be long before it is able to play tv series.

Sorry about that I was just trying to get the basic movie casting out as quickly as possible. I knew alot of people have been waiting a long time to cast their personal collection instead of casting from the cloud. So I made the decision to add tv shows in v2.
[Google Chromecast] philofax:
thank your sir. glad that i can stop looking around in every corner of plex

to find out what i possibly did wrong. ;)

i would really love to see series added to plexicast, this would be the perfect

tool for casting plex to my tv. paying for the app would be a no-brainer then.

can't wait to see an update but i fully understand that it may take it's time.
[Sony Xperia ZR] ket_kul:
Hi guys,

I just bought, Xperia A which is Japanese version of Xperia Zr but with 32 Gb internal storage.

Recently I flashed the Xperia Zr ftf and its was work great

I just notice that xperia Zr Rom only read 8GB of my internal storage.

Anyone know how to make XPERIA zr Rom able to read all of my storage?.

Ps: if someone trying to flash xperia zr Rom make sure you backup your internal storage first. Because it will deleted the Xperia A emulated storage.
[Sony Xperia ZR] nostupidthing:
maybe you can tinker with the partitions, fstab and such. regret that i don't have first hand experience on this. you can google about it. spend some time researching and please report back and let the others know how it goes.

thanks.
[Sony Xperia ZR] zu0ke:
I using Xperia A with ZR rom without problem.

Just flash FTF with excluding Partition and format Internal memory on the phone.
[Sony Xperia ZR] ket_kul:
Thanks and its solved my storage problem :D

I downloaded the Xperia A ftf and it's not contain partition.sin

So I repair the phone using SUS and reflash the Xperia ZR ROM without partition.sin

And now the phone read all of my storage.

Somehow when I flash Xperia ZR partition.sin I was able to turn on NFC

but with Xperia A partition.sin, NFC is not working. But its fine I rarely use NFC :D
[Sony Xperia ZR] Codename_Falcon:
Does this phone work on all network bands that ZR supports?

850/900/1700/1900/2100??

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] HyperMalac:
Hi there!

Is it possible to clear out the extrom from the OS? I'm using a 2.x OS and I really want a pure WM 5.0 without any junk example carrier logos, operator themes, operator programs, etc.

How can I do this?

Thanks, and Cheers
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] djwillis:
Warning: You will loose all you settings (Well Duh!)

Hard reset the device.

Run through the setup.

When the device says "Device will configure in X seconds" you need to soft reset (button) before the time out.

Once the device comes back after the soft reset you will have a stock ROM and no Ext. ROM settings.

You can then customise the device with the CAB's you want from the Ext. ROM (download the CAB's from the FTP here) or whatever you want.

John
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ZaZuRaZ:
before you customising the device, Unhide the EXTROM and copy the files.

then delete them and uninstall the file.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] HyperMalac:
Ok, so I need to use unlock/unhide program from the Blue Angel? Because I would like to remove the contents of the extrom to free up space.

cheers

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] thekoggles:
So something that's always bugged me about how Android currently handles the navbar, on a phone, if you go into landscape mode, the navbar stays in the same position as in portrait mode. This makes sense, as you'll be holding it from the sides.

Is there a way to make a tablet do this, via kernal mod or something better? Having the navbar on the bottom, especially on a Nexus 7, doesn't make sense for a 7" tablet.

Help would be appreciated

Root and flash CoCore kernel. And install HarshJelly too, it's stock based rom.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szzlgupta:
Root the phone, install cocore kernel, deodex your ROM, use greenify = less lag.

For dialer, use third party apps like exdialer.

For SMS also, you can use third party apps :)

You can try that beta too. Just do not overclock CPU. Some phones are stable with higher frequency - and some got reboot. But if you keep it at 1GHz you will not have problem.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parameswaran Iyer:
I would suggest using Cocore 8.6. its overclockable and for me overclocking is working fine. The battery life is good and i am not experiencing any lag since i flashed it. As far as dialer is concerned you can use third party apps. There are dozens of them on play store. And if you are on stock you could use Hangouts as your SMS app in place of stock messaging app.

As far as dialer is concerned you could use Ex-Dialer or Dialer+ (The latter is also a good app and i liked its UI.)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emwu_:
That's incorrect. Latest CoCore EP is here.

He's testing a way to handle NFC, that if it works, there's no need for EP anymore. And, one of his testers says it works, so.. yeah, a release or two, probably. You're welcome.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADR USR:
I also try custom roms but I prefer to have all the features of the device.

After many tests, a few months ago I found a way to make good use of the experience with Stock JB. It has worked perfectly:

For lags with stock apps (dialer, etc.) -> Just replace.

For bugs in Stock Cam -> use internal storage only

For kernel -> Use Cocore 8.2 (before i used 6.2)

In addition:

Freeze some native apps.

Turn off animations.

Many guys use deodexed ROMs too. But not my case.

Anyway, STOCK JB worked all this time.

Waiting fully functional CM or AOSP.

First question do you have fastboot/adb on pc?

If no:

1. Instal android sdk

2. Download any zip rom

3. Change name of rom to rom.zip

4. Turn on TWRP

5. Plug in you LG to PC

6. Place the ZIP package you want to install in the same location where you keep ADB drivers - adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll (usually it's*SDK\platform-tools)

7. In TWRP go to Advance>ADB Sideload

8. open your SDK/platform-tools folder (where you put rom.zip), then press SHIFT button and the right-click mouse button and choose “Open command prompt here”

9. Write adb sideload <filename>.zip*(for example:*adb sideload rom.zip)

10. The zip package will begin installing. When it's done, select "reboot system now."
