[Google Chromecast] preusstang:
I have AllCast, LocalCast, and Bubble.

I now use Bubble exclusively. It was the easiest to plug and play with my current setup.

1. I can cast direct to the chromecast from phone or tablet local storage using the respective device.

2. I can cast tablet local storage using my phone and vice-versa. Also really cool. (And no it doesn't have to go thru the "caster" if you will. My phone can tell the CC to get content direct from tablet)

3. I have movies on my Windows PC. By enabling media sharing (and Wake-on-Lan!) I can use my portable to tell CC to access my PC media directly. I know its direct cause I can turn off my portable and it still plays. Also, if I open Bubble on another device (or restart on initial device,) it picks up right where it should (slider position, play/pause status, etc.) You can also enable (.srt) subtitles. These are sent directly from your portable tho. But this takes very little CPU and battery to do. Plus you can control the font, color, etc. easily. I'm able to cast the subtitles from my Windows PC as well. Simple as it could possibly be.

4. My content is all MP4 with AAC audio so I don't need any transcoding, but if you need it, install the Bubble "server" on your Windows PC. I quote it like that since its not really a server in my sense of the word. Its a wrapper for your current server (it works with several, easiest of all your built-in windows media server) and can transcode on the fly and offer a web control interface.

Not sure why people were hating on the chromecast, i think it's excellent.

I just purchased one yesterday and set up plex off my home server. Working great so far!!!
[Google Chromecast] bleached45:
Hey guys, I've had my Chromecast for 2 days and found something that seems to be amazing (and still being developed).

It is a Chrome browser extension named Videostream for Google Chromecast.

It is free, simple to use, and seemingly great quality.

They have a website if any of you are interested.

www.getvideostream.com

I have tested it with some music videos (.mp4, 720p) and anime (.mkv, 720p, embedded .ass subs don't display at the moment, for me at least).

Hope this helps everybody, and sorry if it is general knowledge. :laugh:
[Google Chromecast] neu - smurph:
Got my Chromecast yesterday, within 30 mins have got the free Plex Server installed on my Laptop which holds copies of all my media (music, photos and video), and installed the paid Plex app as a client on phone and tablet and happily streaming media.....:good:

Later on I also installed BubbleUPnP on the client devices, which appears to do a better job as a Plex Server client than the Plex App itself.

Playlisting / Shuffle etc across all media types, along with ability to cast media on the device are the main 'killer' features in BubbleUPnP lacking as far as I can tell in the Plex App and it seems a little faster overall to get the stream running. So I bought a license (don't think I actually needed one for my usage, but gotta reward good development). I don't mind paying for the Plex app either, even if I'm not likely to use it much, given that the Plex server software is free.

But for those with tight pockets it does appears that the free Plex Server plus free BubbleUPnP app is a viable solution if all the media is already Chromecast compatible (which mine mostly was) and doesn't require transcoding. And if it's not Handbrake to convert to Chromecast format is also free.

Also good excuse for a tidy up - do I really still need to keep the entire 6 seasons of LOST having watched the lot at least 4 times....??? :silly:

Anyway the purpose of this post really is to say thank-you to Bhiga for maintaining an excellent FAQ and Asphyx for the informative posts in this thread and others. Without the background reading I'm sure I'd have been messing around until the small hours yesterday trying to get things set up rather than relaxing with a couple of films that have been sat on my hard drive for months unwatched.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Just a side note...If you install the BubbleUPnP Server and use that as a conduit to Plex you won't need to re-encode your library to be CCast compatible as Bubble Server does Transcoding when needed.

I don't know this is LOST we are talking about you might need at least another 20 Views just to figure out what the hell it was all about! LOL
[Google Chromecast] Fingon1:
Sleep timer and wake on LAN

Hi guys,

I am looking for an android app that does the following:

a) play content on my TV from PC folders (Plex and Bubble does that, but both have irritating folders (like genre, most watched etc), which I have to skip in order to get to the real PC folders)

b) Set

sleep

timer on TV and PC and

Wake the PC over LAN

.

1) Do you know of any android app that does both of this? Or of any app that does at least the latter (sleep and wake on LAN).

2) Moreover what is the advantage of using Plex, when you can connect via Bubble to shared folders in Windows? I really dont see any advantage of Plex except for transcoding, which I dont need as TV plays nearly everything.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
I'm not sure of anything that can set the sleep timer on a TV, short of using an IR blaster... unless it's an industrial/hospitality TV, then it might allow some serial or network control.

As for Plex vs BubbleUPnP, Plex's advantage is its metadata.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sabresfan:
Just passing along my experience on my cruise this week. I was running tweaked with faux kernal and everything was great. Charging at the hotel/airport was fine. I plug my phone in the first night on the ship and nothing is happening. I tried my wife's charger same result. Every plug in the room same result. My wife's s3 charged on both chargers fine. I eventually restored a nandroid of omni rom with Agni kernal. Still no charging. In the Agni settings there is a setting to dismiss unstable power. As soon as I checked that I had no problem charging my n2. I hope this helps someone else if they have a similar experience.

That is there because the battery needs to charge in a specific way or there are dangers involved. I doubt samsung's battery would blow but if you're using a third party then I would advise against this.

After months of waiting for local content playback, the device wants to play it via the web by uploading and downloading again, using bandwidth. In the process of trying again today getting it connected with ANY of the apps on the store, I felt it OK to get rid of it...

So after spending 5 hours trying to get this useless piece of **** to work, I smashed it to pieces.

Two things I can suggest.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] meschle:
Hi - the up up thing does not always work because people think your problem has been answered - I scan for the non-awnsered posts and see if I can help.

Here we go - does your device charge? Can you remember at what battery level you tried to get the rom downgraded? Best to do a rom flash with the device fully charged.

Plug your device into the proper mains charger (has 1A output) to kickstart the battery back into life. You may have to leave it a while before the light comes on.

Once you can start the device you will probably end up at the bootloader screen (multicolor screen) and you can flash the device from there.

Let us know how you do - i will keep an eye on this thread

thanks for the s-up-ggestion :-)

my english is not so good...what do you mean with "Plug your device into the proper mains charger (has 1A output)"?

maybe i could charge my old imate JAM battery and "pin to pin" connect it to the body of the K-JAM? same battery?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] meschle:
I mean the mains charger that came with the device - the one that plugs into the socket in your wall - not the usb connection to the computer does not have enough power to kick start your device. I don't think the jam battery will fit and do the job - if it does thats ok

Did you have a G4 phone (search the forum for what this means if you do not know). If you do, then your phone sounds like its bricked (you can search the forum for this too!). I've done the same thing (some rom, same beer glass) when I was trying to downgrade to a 1.x rom for the older BB connect software, and found that a G4 phone will not run a 1.x rom/SPL/IPL.

Type *#*#4636#*#* in phone.apk and then select phone info and choose WCDMA only.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theronkinator:
H+/Hspda is part of 3G, what you want isn't possible. Is your phone the i9305?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Final5k:
No my phone is the I9300 - we really can't force 3g? On previous Samsung devices, we could, so Samsung disable this on the S3?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theronkinator:
The i9300 doesn't have 4G.

The option is already in settings to do what you want, I don't know why you're making this so hard.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Final5k:
Ok let me explain correctly..When i choose Wcdma, then the phone switches to H and H+ constantly when in low reception places and connection is sometimes lost. That's why I am looking for 3g only since 3g signal is better where I live.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theronkinator:
H & H+ are 3G, how many times does it need repeating.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Final5k:
They are definitely not the same thing and it seems you've never used the secret menus to switch from 4g to 3g..Ok lets stop here. I wanted to permanently change the NETWORK BAND to 2100 ONLY. It seems this is not possible on the S3,otherwise people would already have done it like in past samsung phones.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theronkinator:
4G and 3G are different, but your phone doesn't have 4G anyway so that's irrelevant.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Final5k:
oh dear...you definitely didn't understand my main post and WHAT i was asking probably because you never tried this on your past Android phones...this thread can be closed now as any further conversations on the initial intent of this thread will not be constructive enough to find a solution.

Just to let u know, you could fix the frequency in the secret menu as I did this many times, whereas I don't know the codes to get there as well, they were changed I suppose. In addition the i9300 only got up to H+, no 4G, if I am not wrong, H+ is 3.9G, H is 3.5G.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Meanee:
Hello. Maybe someone seen something similar and has a solution.

My Note 3 immediately drops all signal to almost nothing the moment WiFi connects. Where I am, I have 4 bars with LTE on. Once I enable WiFi and connect to AP, signal goes to zero bars.

Initially I thought it's cosmetic. But after some testing, I realized that it is not. About 40% of all calls go to voicemail. When I do get a call that comes through, if it's HD voice, I sound to them like latest T-Pain's album, like I am being auto-tuned. When it's not HD voice, it's simply breaking up.

WiFi calling does not kick in.

And weirdly enough, it's happening to my girlfriend's Nexus 5, also on T-Mobile.

Stock rooted.

Kernel 3.4.0-1670611

SIM and region unlocked with Chainfire's utility.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There was a thread in here about that, from what I read when you turn on wifi the data pretty much shuts off as far as 4g/lte. This is how it comes out of the box, a least for 4.3 I'm sure is the same on 4.4. Will look later on tapatalk and searching sucks.
