Hello all,

I am trying to install the cast receiver app on my old Samsung galaxy s2.

I am trying it with the recovery install (Philz cwm). It says that it should be installed but when I look for the app it is nowhere to be found.

Can somebody help me?

I apologize for my English

Greetings

I want to mirror my nexus 6 screen to my moto g screen. I use my moto g with a Mount on my road bike. I ideally would like to just mirror the screen from my nexus which is in my bag on my back. Both are rooted and on lollipop 5.1.1.

Will this work?
[Google Chromecast] xaudiblex:
Check out this app. It may work out better than the Cast Receiver.

Thanks for the response.

What app do I use on the receiving phone? The suggested AllCastReceiver doesnt show up on 'mirror'.

What am i missing?

I doubt its possible to cast screen from 1 device to another !!
[Google Chromecast] ItzMar:
Can't get he mirror app to work...

Its just basically remote desktop for android... Why is it so difficult
[Google Chromecast] huisinro:
I have posted a paid app, YouMap Cast Receiver:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.youmap.android.apps.mediashell

It is chromecast v2 compatible, supporting Screen Mirroring, YouTube, Play Movies & TV, Google Play Music, etc. You can use Chromecast app to mirror Android screens, rooting is NOT required.
[Google Chromecast] Volatyle:
How did you work around the auth problem?
[Google Chromecast] Maxr1998:
Cool! But how likely is this not to break with upcoming Google apps?

I don't want to spend 9€ when it doesn't work anymore a few months later..

Would interest me as well…

Wondering if anyone had luck compiling and running the code published by Google? Does it actually run or require all the mods [MENTION=2266182]HomerSp[/MENTION] mentioned in the description of the post to be able to run on non Android TV hardware?

It looks like the app from [MENTION=4359394]huisinro[/MENTION] uses the same codebase probably with some mods, but it doesn't work for me at all.

This doesn't work at all for me. Posted to VMLite's forum instead just to avoid polluting this thread under: Upcoming release of a Chromecast Receiver on Android
[Google Chromecast] huisinro:
The drm stuff took us a few months to work around it. The other difficult part is the mirroring protocol, which we now completely understood, and we have implemented it from scratch, so you don't need google services at all, and it works on any android devices (without rooting requirement).

There is no guarantee that google may enforce the security again, but will surely find a way to work around it. In the worse scenario of not being able to crack it, we have our own senders that should work.

In short, since we understand the whole protocol, we develop senders and receivers, so I wouldn't worry it may not work in the future.

Robert, the reason not working for you, is due to the mDNS stuff, which is to do with wifi environment. For example, corporate wifi will not work. Home wifi network should be ok. This is a common issue for mDNS stuff.

Any plans for release on the Amazon App Store? Would it work with the Amazon Fire TV?
[Google Chromecast] huisinro:
It works on Fire TV, but you will need to purchase directly from us, since the one on play store uses google play license api, which won't work on Fire TV.
[Google Chromecast] darren1:
Could you release it on Amazon's own app store? Would make you available to a lot of potential customers with Fire TV and also Kindle Fire tablets. Would make it easier to handle updates than purchasing directly from you.

I have a Nexus Q with cyanogen rom installed on. Would this app work so that I can use the Nexus Q as a chromecast straight off?
[Google Chromecast] huisinro:
Thanks for the suggestion, will try to post the app to Amazon.

---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 AM ----------

We tested the app on Nexus 7 with cyanongenMod, and it works ok. I think it should work on Nexus Q. If not working, will refund you, of course.

I am also developing a trial version, should be ready in a few days, will post in XDA when the trial is ready.

[Google Chromecast] Volatyle:
It worked OK as in only OK but not as good as it should? Or it works completely? :)
[Google Chromecast] huisinro:
when I say "OK", it means great. Yes, it works great on nexus 7, which is our testing device.
[Google Chromecast] Volatyle:
Awesome. Maybe this is the resurrection of my beloved nexus Q then :)

Does it run as a service (ie. Is it running automatically after boot up?)
[Google Chromecast] huisinro:
Yes, by default it auto starts after reboot.

or press the Start button on first installation.
[Google Chromecast] Volatyle:
Good

Cause it's a bit tricky to control the Q :)
[Google Chromecast] Volatyle:
I'll await the Trial (just in case) so that I can test it on the Q.

If it works i'd be glad buying this application though! I'd love to be able to use the Q again.

Thanks for doing this!

Vol
[Google Chromecast] huisinro:
Is your Nexus Q running Android 4.0? the screen mirroring does not work on 4.0 yet, as it uses 4.1+ APIs, other chromecast features should work on 4.0, such as YouTube, Google Music, 3rd party Chromecast apps.
[Google Chromecast] Volatyle:
As long as plex will work with 1080p mkv's I'll be happy :)
[Google Chromecast] osm0sis:
Doesn't appear to be working on my Matricom G-Box Midnight MX2 TV device running Jelly Bean 4.2.2. It says it's running, but neither my Nexus 5 or my Nexus 7 2013 see it as a Chromecast device. It is definitely otherwise connected since I can stream across my network on it using SMB servers.

Can we troubleshoot and get it working?
[Google Chromecast] huisinro:
Hi osm0sis,

can you try to reboot your router? then turn off/on wifi on your android client device. Try to use Google Chromecast app, from the left, choose Cast Screen, it will search for receivers.
[Google Chromecast] osm0sis:
Chromecast app's Cast Screen did get it to show up finally, but unfortunately the output on my TV from it is all green. Weirdly enough once it's "casting" green other cast enabled apps begin to see it too, Play Music casting seems to work well, but YouTube still throws up "An error has occurred", even though I can certainly use YouTube on my TV device to view the same video.

Anyway, looks like there are some issues to sort out, so unfortunately I'll have to refund for now (don't want to take the chance of getting stuck with something that doesn't work on my device), but I'll be happy to help you resolve these issues with your upcoming trial version.
[Google Chromecast] jrcastillo:
Does this work with any app supported by the chromecast dongle? I have a couple of apps from TV networks (canadian TV channels) that do support chromecast, but I cannot just "cast" to my fireTv.

If this app fixes the issue i just mentioned, I will be waiting for it in the Amazon App store by the second!
[Google Chromecast] huisinro:
Hi osm0sis,

What is your android version? The write error may be to do with our experimental recording feature. We are adding recording to the receiver, so it can be used to record stuff. We disabled it for now, maybe still some code not fully disabled.
[Google Chromecast] osm0sis:
4.2.2

Edit: Tab casting from Chrome on my Windows 7 desktop also worked very well! Shame about YouTube and screen casting from my handhelds. :(
[Google Chromecast] huisinro:
Hi jrcastillo,

If the 3rd party app does not have a native component on chromecast device, then it should work. We have tested many 3rd party apps using Chromecast api, and they work very well.

You can wait for our trial version, to make sure it works for you.

The green color indicates something wrong with the H264 decoding. Most likely your TV box does not support low level decoding android API. What is your cpu model? It is Rockchip, AMLogic, ...
[Google Chromecast] osm0sis:
AMLogic:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2492843

I guess an h264 issue could explain the problem with YouTube as well? Thanks for any help you can provide.
[Google Chromecast] huisinro:
AMLogic has problems in low level media codec API compatibility.

However, it is not to do with YouTube casting, which actually uses the builtin chrome browser, instead of h264 decoding
[Google Chromecast] jrcastillo:
do you know the timeline for trial version?

Also, do you know the timeline for the amazon app store :D??
[Google Chromecast] osm0sis:
Good to know. Any way to work around either issue?
[Google Chromecast] huisinro:
I just ordered Amazon FireTV box and FireTV stick, will test how good they are. After which I will try to post the app to Amazon store. This app has no dependencies on google play services, so should be straightforward.
[Google Chromecast] huisinro:
For the YouTube issue, can you check if chrome browser works? browse to youtube site, then choose the same video as you casted from your YouTube app on your phone. What our receiver does is simply launch the youtube url using the builtin browser. So if your browser works, then it is supposed to work.

As for green color on H.264, I will test more on my AMLogic dongles, it can be solved by using software decoding, which works, but impacting performance.
[Google Chromecast] ThauExodus:
Where can I buy it on your homepage? I want to use it on my fire TV stick and other Android devices, without buying the it multiple times.
[Google Chromecast] huisinro:
Please wait for a few more days, as I am testing the app on FireTV box and stick in next couple of days.
[Google Chromecast] huisinro:
Tested FireTV stick, screen mirroring works flawlessly with our YouMap Cast Receiver app, however other stuff, such as YouTube, Play Movies, and other chromecast apps have issues, will test more.
[Google Chromecast] huisinro:
As mentioned by the OP, the YouTube issue and other 3rd party chromecast app issue is due to the 8008 port conflicts. FireTV has a builtin component called Whisperplay that uses the same 8008 port as chromecast receiver does.

The screen mirroring does not use 8008 port, so it works very well. Other chromecast features are not working.

There are two ways to deal with the issue:

(1) trying to change our receiver to other port instead of 8008. If this works, it will be the best. I will give it a try.

(2) disable Fire TV WhisperPlay service, this is not easy to do unless device is rooted. However, rooting FIre TV is very very difficult.

This is how it stands as of right now, regarding Fire TV devices. Only the screen mirroring (real time audio/video streaming) works right out of the box.
[Google Chromecast] flyfire04:
That is sad to hear. Were you able to test your option 1 with changing the ports?

Thank you very much for your effort.
[Google Chromecast] HomerSp:
I'm not sure, I mostly use adb over a USB connection. But you are probably right.

Did you say you had the same problem using a Note running cm? Would you be able to connect it through usb to your computer and run those adb commands? Make sure you run adb disconnect first.
[Google Chromecast] rkirmeier:
Yes, same issue on the Note 12.2. I'll try it on the note tonight.
[Google Chromecast] HomerSp:
You could get the log from the device without using adb as well, just start the log (using catlog or similar), go in to Settings > Apps > All > Android Media Shell and click Force stop. Then go to Settings > Date & time and uncheck and check automatic date & time (or if it's already unchecked, just check it). That should start the service, so give it a minute or two to settle, then stop the log and upload it here :)
[Google Chromecast] rkirmeier:
I killed it but it's not starting back up automatically. I tried the unchecking and checking the automatic date & time option.

I then opened a terminal and ran the command but get an error back. Any other ideas?
[Google Chromecast] HomerSp:
You need to run su before running that command (it needs to be run as root) :)
[Google Chromecast] rkirmeier:
Told you I was a novice... :)

su/root worked and I have attached the log.
[Google Chromecast] HomerSp:
The service was not started correctly, check the spelling please (you spelled android with two n's ;) )
[Google Chromecast] Perks:
Awesome work

I'll test it later today, but I'm not sure it will work, as I have a tronsmart Vega, which has the same SoC than the n8h that rkirmeier is having troubles with

Just one question, Do you guys know if this works trough Ethernet connection?
[Google Chromecast] rkirmeier:
I was browsing the log and noticed that too. I thought it worked as I didn't get any error back. Looks like it worked this time as I can see the app/service running now. New log attached...
[Google Chromecast] HomerSp:
To not make the thread too long I have sent you a PM where we can continue this discussion :)

dont fit the tv screen

Hello ! When I cast my screen from my moto g to my TV the picture is a little outside off the TV screen . Is there any fix for it ? I have tested it on diffrent tvs but with same result.

My moto g is 1st gen
[Google Chromecast] death2all110:
No fix really. Its just the res its being displayed at. Happens with my chromecast. Sorry.
[Google Chromecast] HomerSp:
What device are you using as a receiver? There's not really much I can do from the Cast Receiver app, you would have to change the overscan/underscan settings of the TV, or on your receiver if the ROM allows it.

Also, I may have a fix for devices not connecting properly to the receiver. I'm just waiting for [MENTION=2668759]rkirmeier[/MENTION] to test an apk for me.
[Google Chromecast] steso90:
Im really sorry because i posted in the wrong section, but i have problems with casting my screen to my Nexus 7 2012. Its like it begins to start then it goes back. The TV scaling problem i also hade was when i cast my screen from my moto g to my chromecast.

Sorry for my bad english
[Google Chromecast] death2all110:
The devices not connecting to the receiver properly is currently being addressed. As for the Moto G to Chromecast issue, all you can do is adjust overscan/underscan if supported by your rom and/or tv. And your english is better than some others I've seen around here ;) No problem though!
[Google Chromecast] steso90:
Thanks for your reply!
[Google Chromecast] HomerSp:
Thanks to [MENTION=2668759]rkirmeier[/MENTION] I was able to solve the receiver not working for everyone :)

The dropbox links in the first post will now point to the new apk's, so just download the apk's and follow the install instructions and it should be working.

Works great on Nexus Q running CM11

This works great on my Nexus Q (installed using root method)!!

The only unexpected behavior is that all the cast-enabled apps on the receiving device can see the locally-running Cast Receiver. In other words, YouTube, Play Music, etc. all prompt me to cast my Nexus Q (receiving device) to itself. Does the ADT-1 do something special to prevent "self-casting"? Is there an easy way to disable the cast sender on the receiving device? Does that make sense?
[Google Chromecast] huisinro:
I am half way through changing the port to 8010, it looks promising.
[Google Chromecast] wizrdeye:
Is this still working? I have an LG Thrill p925 running regular ics rooted. I followed all the steps, everything seems to have worked but not seen. I noticed the receiver and client fix, do you just download those on each device and run once? They can not be opened after the install. Is there an updated guide? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Google Chromecast] osm0sis:
Google Xposed
[Google Chromecast] wizrdeye:
Thats the XposedCastReceiverFix.apk and XposedCastClientFix.apk, right? I just copy receiver fix to the device I that installed the filest to with adb, then install from internal storage?

And copy client fix to the device running the chromecast app and install it from internal storage?
[Google Chromecast] huisinro:
OK, made some big progress, after many changes, our YouMap Chromecast Receiver app now works very well on Amazon TV Box and Stick, there is no need to root or modify the device, it simply works out of the box.

so far, YouTube, Chromecast apps (using public API, such as google's samples), Google Movies and TV, Google Music, and Screen Mirroring all work very well. Most likely it works on Amazon TV to the same extent on other native Android devices.
[Google Chromecast] jrcastillo:
Awesome news!.

1- any new word on a trial version to see if the apps i want will work?

2- Are you planning on posting your app in the amazon app store soon?

However, the cast button does not show up in Netflix. Any idea ?

I don't expect Netflix to run. There is an external binary from Netflix needs to be placed on the receiver side, I will see if I can grab if from ADT-1 box, but this is not a priority though.

how about web vdo cast

I mostly use my PC ,iphone ,ipad and note 4 to watch youtube and vdo on website with safari and chrome.

sometimes , I like to send that to my TV which has only one HDMI left. I can't buy both Apple tv and Chromecast

to work with all of my devices. I sold my Chromecast stick after use it for 3 days cos too boring to switch the cables

Yes, This is a good news for me, Cos I can now use only one cheap android box to receive mostly

everything from every devices. With Airplay receiver app and youtubetv app on my box, both allow me to

cast just almost everything i need from my iPhone and iPad all done in 2 clicks but my note 4 and

PC can do just youtube which was paired before.

The question is when I'm watching vdo on the web not on the app. [seems like youtube or tunein will be fine]

but with the browser like chrome on Note 4, Can I cast that playback directly to your app with out casting my screen.

Like Airplay , it receives just only the link without mirroring at all. And the same question with chrome on PC

Thanks , hope your app will not be the same like cheapcast.
[Google Chromecast] huisinro:
Hi umcrying, can you send me a url of the site you watch from browser? will give it a try. If it works with Chromecast, then it should work. The web app itself needs to be Chromecast compatible.

Casting to Plex via Youmap works. But you can also allow remote control of the plex app to achieve the same end.

How are the convenience of having youmap in the background is really nice

[Google Chromecast] Volatyle:
Hmm, got lost in translation there - not sure I follow completely.

Does it work to cast (such in chromecast) from my plex server, with this app?

Vol
[Google Chromecast] goodhur:
Yes, Youmap will act like a chromecast and receive casts from Plex on your mobile device and chrome browser on your computer. Youmap's convience for this is nice be because it works with many non DRM protected chromecast apps and runs in the background.

However, Plex already has it's own built in casting protocol. if your Android box/stick uses the standard touch version of Plex go to settings>system> and set "advertise as player" to on. You will then be able to receive casts (using Plex's cast protocol) from your mobile device and chrome browser (google cast extension) on your computer.
