[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Lots of Content providers who already have access to the big screen via Tuner will be hesitant...Because they feel they already support and have the Big Screen model they prefer and it makes billions for them!

Their foray into Tab and Mobile streaming is merely to capture those screens which have no tuner support.

And their mindset is that if they support the Big Screen via CCast they will lose out on all the money they make on the Tuner subs.

They aren't wrong about that part but what they don't seem to realize is they are going to lose that money anyway as more content is available via the Web and people start cutting cords.

And as more of their competition realizes and adds support for this new Big Screen methodology they will either jump onto the ship or risk it sailing away without them.

It's difficult to get a business to change the way they make money when the old method has made it for them for half a century and switch to a new way of making even more money by cutting out the middleman.

They could charge more for a sub than they get per subscriber from the cable companies now.

And people would pay it provided they got to pick and choose which networks they pay for (ala Carte) and could view it on any screen they may own.

Music Industry once faced this same dilemma, they picked wrong and look what happened to their industry!

The same will happen to TV if they don't open their eyes and smell the Data!

They will lose the subs, People will pirate the shows they want to see, No way to record ratings or views and if that happens they won't even have the money to implement the new methods or create new programming...
[Google Chromecast] ghtop:
Live streaming via iPlayer app over WiFi works just fine with CC, so I don't really know what the TV Catchup issue is or what their "extensive tesing" actually involved. Do we even know why YouTube doesn't support live streams on CC? Since they point to this as justification. Some of the comments seemed odd - like the one suggesting that the app needed to stream to CC directly, rather than CC playing the given URL, or that VOD content was only "okayish" (have they even tried the Netflix or Play Movies apps?)

The other UK broadcasters as we know are just talking out their backsides as usual.

Having said that, there's little value for me in streaming live channels via CC when they're just a button press away on my TV ...
[Google Chromecast] Restorer:
Yes. I've had iPlayer on my Chromecasts since it launched but never watched live TV. Why would anyone in the UK want to watch PSB broadcasters live this way - unless their TV was broken or something. I accept there is a market among expats but that would be irrelevant to the broadcasters.

Anyway, just tested it for the first time on 40" and 19" sets and live streams work perfectly. Better than direct from the website in fact since there is none of the trademark judder. To be fair though it is only a matter of time before the BBC starts to offer live 720p streams (the Winter Olympics feeds worked beautifully for those with good connection speeds) so perhaps our sticks would cope less well with these?

But the whole point of these players is for catch up TV - this is a very disappointing cop-out and even more reason to praise the BBC for getting their app up and running with Chromecast so promptly.
[Google Chromecast] Drizwaldo1:
This post is relevant to me as I am UK based, have two chromecasts and my second TV does not have an aerial connection.

I've followed TV Catchup's position on this and I have to say I agree that it is a complete cop-out on their part. More fool them. If iPlayer, Redbull TV and (monday update of) BT sport can integrate casting then their excuse that the CC is not powerful enough is wide of the mark.

My experience of live streams from iPlayer is top notch but I have an excellent fibre optic connection.

So, for my second TV I have embarked on a quest to find a work around.

TV Catchup + Mirror app. Works OK. Resolution is as you'd expect, watchable but no where near HD. Sound quality also suffers. So whilst this solution is boarderline acceptable. It's not great.

XBMC =AVIA. Awesome. ALMOST a fully comprehensive solution for me. I am using the XAF version with 1channel, icefilms and Mashup with playercorefactory set up for Avia. This is great for ondemand services BUT live streams fail to start. This is particularly annoying for me as I subscribe to Offside Streams (for my sports) and I cannot get this to work outside of casting a chrome tab. THIS is my holy grail.

Plex Channels = The Plex live channels I have found to be hit and miss. There are not enough channels of interest and it is a lottery if they work.

BUBBLE UPNP - So I have set up a transcoding server for Bubble. It's delightful. When casting local/network/server files from Android the PC does the grunt work. It pretty much maxes out my quad core 8GB rig, but playback is perfectly acceptable for me.

What I would love to do with Bubble UPnP is fire up a live stream which is transcoded by my server rig and cast to the CC. This would offer me the solution I crave but I have no idea if it is even possible.

New Tasker Plugin - AUTOCAST. This has promise and I will be spending a few more hours setting it up. It is not for the less tech/tasker savvy. So far I have combined it with AutoShare to share local media files direct from the galley or a file explorer. It even runs videos from the chrome browser IF the website is compatible. IF more websites were compatible, this would be my casting of choice. I really like it's functionality once it has been set up correctly. The dev is publishing some guides on this from Monday.

I am watching you JW PLAYER. Now JW is the player of choice for many large companies websites. They have just announced chromecast support (to be rolled out) and I think this will open the door to new horizons.

Obviously, I'd love to see ITV player, 4OD and Demand Five release both Chromecast support and live streaming from their respective apps. I won't hold my breath. BBC, I am not fond of your general operations but I have to applaud you as an early adopter. BT sport is an added bonus. SKY and SKY GO is as closed shop as they come so let's write that off before we begin.

I have every faith that some smart dev will release a player that can pull flash and html5 video from websites and cast to chromecast. I'd love to see a JW Player app but I think MX Player will be the first there.

GO DEVS GO, I have cash waiting. :cowboy:
[Google Chromecast] logitechor:
Funny I don't think Google intended the Chrome cast to be powerful. The new Amazon TV can handle lots. Roku 3 pretty solid. I am more disappointed that to get the most out of Chromecast you have to be in the USA for one thing and the UK for another. Using a VPN is possible but more complicated then other devices I have. It is cheap.
[Google Chromecast] neu - smurph:
BubbleUPnP can cast live streams from the browser - I'm just not 100% sure on compatibility and how it integrates with the Server. So far I've only tried mp4 streams which just work and don't need any transcoding.

The way it works for me using Firefox browser - 1) go to streaming website and open your video - often Firefox itself can't play the video. 2) Long press the video to bring up a share menu - one of the options is 'open with app' - click that and BubbleUPnP is an option. 3) Select BubbleUPnP and if the Chromecast is already set as the Renderer the stream is on your TV.
[Google Chromecast] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP can transcode (if necessary and provided that BubbleUPnP Server is installed) videos from any source, including http video URLs sent from web browsers or any other app.

As for streaming live content not web related, I've got report of users streaming live TV streams in TS format served by some specialized boxes (like the HD HomeRun), and transcoded by BubbleUPnP Server on the fly to be compatible. Theorically it should also work with any media server serving live streams like MythTV and others.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ungmon:
It has come to my attention that there a a range of different covers for the S4, I do not mean colours or carrier printing but rather, some have no printing at the back and some have 'Galaxy S4' printing. Also the i9506 (4G) models vary from having the 4G print at the back to nothing at all.

Does anyone know why this is or whats going on?

On another note, has anyone ordered from TopBuy before? I purchased the i9506 from them, it is yet to arrive but I'm becoming anxious as to whether or not I will receive a genuine model. TopBuy claims that "All products offered by TopBuy are brand new in their original boxes. They are not used, display models, etc… The savings come from direct imported overseas stock at tax free prices" is this to believe?

Also, in the phones package contents they claim that "(Please note user manual may come as English version hardcopy or softcopy)" shouldn't this always be hardcopy? I've never heard of a softcopy included with the phone.

Hi guys goodnight

Basically the topic said it all how to Unroot samsung s4 i9500.

I wanted to know how so when time comes to sell my Samsung I would know how to Unroot back to stock firmwire.

I have a question

how can I find the right firmwire for my Samsung s4. I live in Grand Cayman (international) and I can't find the firmware for it, Idk why I think it is because they buy the phone for somewhere else. Please can someone help me find the right firmwire.

Thanks it would be a great help
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anubhav Agrawal:
go to sammobile.com for firmwares,they have every fw released for any phone..

as for unroot,delete busybox,then go to superuser and select unroot,it will do the rest.

don't forget to use triangle away to reset the counter...

And,if u flash official fw over rooted fw,u will loose root,in other words,u won't have to go thru unroot process if u flash official fw.

Hi All!

Recently i flashed TWRP and Cynogenmod 10.2.1 stable to my HTC Telestra One XL (evita)

I unlocked boot-loader

I successfully rooted

But I shut down once, and when i tried to boot, it got stuck in a boot-loop

Upon many retries, it suddenly wont turn on

when I charge it it only has a flashing red light but it wont even turn on, no screen not buttons; nothing!

And if I plug it in to my PC, the pc keeps sounding the USB Connected sound multiple times over a short period of 30 seconds to 2 minutes and then it gives off multiple shaky beeps

I hope this is enough info to let anyone help out!

Thank You in Advance

:)

EDIT:

when connected to a pc it shows drivers is ready to use but tries to install QHUSB_DLOAD but fails and latest RUU does not detect

Thx again

a friend of mine tried to flash a file named "cm-10.0.0-evita" and it gave off a message saying that this phone is not rooted or missing supersu/ something along those lines

before that he wiped sd card (whole thing)...

and then it went off from there

NOTE: its a phone with mess with, but still want to fix even though its just a side phone we barely use....help appreciated

i am researching and i found something called a "RIFF Box" but unsure if its worth it, plus i dont know where to jtag it (if its possible at all)

PS: hi from sydney!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
How did he try to flash it -_- these vague responses make it very hard to help. Bottom line is you can try pressing and holding power until the light goes off and then power and volume down to get the bootloader up, if that doesn't work you can try the evita jet tool to try to unbrick it. Bricks such as yours are not recoverable 9 times out of 10.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
It looks like your only option is to get a jtag repair done. I wouldn't bother trying to do it yourself unless you're a fully experienced electronic engineer or the like. I'm not sure how many jtag repairers there are in Australia but I'm guessing Google should be able to reveal that information. Howdy from Melbourne.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
I gotta say, this is all very odd :/ How did he install anything if he wiped the SD card after copying it over? :/ hmmmm In any case, you CAN try he jet tool as per my last post before getting a jtag. You'll need a linux install or Bootable USB stick/CD/DVD though.

My guess is that the only thing he installed was SuperSU. That'd be why it booted straight back into TWRP.

Hi guys!

im back

I JTAG'd the phone overseas, and it came back, surely enough, working, but now another problem arises,

the guy apparently unlocked the bootloader, S-Off, and installed CM with android 4.3.1. the phone boots, everything is well, but for times from 10 seconds to minutes of usage it just turns off, the Hboot shows

***tampered***

***relocked***

any idea wth is wrong with it now?

it does not reboot from power menu, and does not do anything really since I cant keep it on for more than a few minutes at most. I cannot keep it on long enough to unlock the bootlaoder anymore, and I cannot boot into TWRP (as the guy told me he put it on)

da hell do I Do now? any help appreciated :)

[Android General] zeeshanusuf:
Rocked!

Excellent work bro! Worked very smoothly, you rock! :D

---------- Post added at 11:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 PM ----------

It means flash the BOOT file as BOOTLOADER in Odin. Here are the steps I did, in detail.

Make sure you have copied the superuser.zip to your SDcard before you begin.

- Flash the recovery as PDA (I unchecked the autoboot, just to keep everything in control)

- Remove data cable

- Remove battery for a few seconds and put it back

- Go in download mode again, and flash the BOOT file as BOOTLOADER (This time, checked the autoboot option)

- Phone starts in CWM recovery

- Flash the SU

In case you're still having trouble, go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and search for s7262, download the kernel for YOUR COUNTRY and flash it as PDA through Odin. Then follow the above steps.

Don't forget to thank the guy :)

Ok so now that we've installed SU, how can we get the old bootloader back? Cu's the phone is just going into recovery now and not booting.

So I'm back on the original kernel. Which doesn't have SU :(
[Android General] updown69:
What? There is problem after flashing su file?
[Android General] rasoulcarrera:
Try this

Turn off the phone

Pull out the battery

After ten seconds turn on your phone...

Is it helped?
[Android General] zeeshanusuf:
No progress. The screen goes white as soon as the samsung boot sound starts. Any chance you have a copy of the original bootloader? We can flash that after installing SU.

---------- Post added at 01:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 AM ----------

Actually I think it's the bootloader. Just worked fine the first time.. After second boot I'm getting white screen (same thing that used to come previously when I flashed recovery). Let's see if this gets fixed, otherwise this whole operation would just die.

Lesson here is: Cheaper android phones are crap :P. I'm using an HTC amaze, and it was one hell of a task to root it! But at least it responded to logic.
[Android General] rasoulcarrera:
Ok in Samsung-update.com site search for this rom

S7262JVUAMK flash it

And then try root your phone by my method
[Android General] rasoulcarrera:
Or if you have your old kernel you can now flash it

And still with SU :)
