[Google Chromecast] Tib44:
Hi

I have a chromecast and I would like to use it to stream video from my local network (I have a HDD connected to my ISP router) at this time I use plex on one of my pc, it works great but I want to stream video without PC (and I don't want to buy a NAS) So I connected a HDD to a USB 2 port of my Livebox 2 (french ISP router) and I try to stream it to my chromecast

I try with allcast on my nexus 4 but when I start streaming some file to my chromecast I saw the video without sound

Is it only a codec problem from the chromecast ?

If yes, is there a alternative with better codec compatibilities ?

Is it posssible that the sound bug come from my network speed (ethernet 100mega and wifi 130 mega) ?

The video I try to play on chromecast with Allcast (I try also local cast) is a mkv file in H264

audio stream : AC-3 192 kbps 48 kHz 16 bits 2 channels

video stream : ACV 4989 kbps 1912*1072 (16/9 25 fps High@L4.0) (CABAC / 4 ref frames)

Have you got any solution ?

Thanks
[Google Chromecast] primetechv2:
The fastest solution is Plex. Register online, download the media server, put your videos onto the server, log in at plex.com/app to play your home videos.

Easy as an HDMI cable.
[Google Chromecast] Tib44:
as I said in my first post. At the moment I use a plex server on a PC but I want to know if it is possible to watch video on my chromecast without any PC powered on, only with the network

Thanks. Looks to have worked flawlessly.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] Redth:
Works great! Thanks!
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] ggrammer:
Works great. As a thank you I used my play credit from the NP Promo to upgrade to SuperSU Pro. hopefully you see that money!
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] volwrath:
Thank you. Simplest root evar :) I will also buy SU Pro
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] Elrondolio:
Worked perfectly, of course. Thanks as always.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] prstorero:
Just saw this today but had already used the other root method here to get it. Either way, thanks for all the hard work you do on everything :)
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] bsara:
Is this assured to work with both LRX21M and LRX21V?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] xBIGREDDx:
Worked perfectly, and now StickMount is working too. Just played a video off USB in XBMC.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] Boblank:
Does anyone know a way to remove the su app from showing in the leanback launcher. Can't find it in the settings anywhere.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] RavenII:
Pardon my ignorance, but what does this do exactly? ...aside from the obvious "gives you root"...I mean how, what does it do to the system?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] Chainfire:
Well be in next version, if you set icon to invisible, it will also disappear from leanback launcher.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] angelorg74:
Zip attachment

Do you just download to phone or PC and put the extraction on the Nexus Player to gain root?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] shimp208:
Are you referring to the launcher settings or SuperSU settings there should be an option in SuperSU settings to set the SuperSU icon to invisible.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] xBIGREDDx:
I just happened to check my system today and had the OTA update from LRX21M to LRX21V waiting. I tried installing it but Recovery stopped halfway through the install with an Error. I got back into Android with a power-cycle, so things are fine, but it's still on 21M.

I'm guessing this was due to having rooted the device. Is there a proper way to remove SuperSU to allow for a system update? I see there are 3 different options for cleaning up; does it particularly matter which one I choose? I could just pick one and try it but I'm kind of curious what the differences are between the options. Anybody know?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] xBIGREDDx:
Update: I tried the second and third cleanup options (new superuser app and full unroot) and neither got me into a state where the OTA was successful. So I just downloaded the factory image and flashed the system.img from it, then reapplied the original root process.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] defconoi:
probably a full unroot and flashing the stock boot.img would fully unroot, I wonder when LRX22C (5.0.1) will hit the nexus player
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:
The root is fundamental in all devices for many things, and thanks to Chainfire and others independent developers we can consider Android a semi-open platform. (semi-open because not all is open source)

We don't want Android like the Apple walled garden, but we are not even against the sale of the software, we just want a common garden in which the user can choose and is not obliged.

For example with the root, it was easier to start this project:

Nexus Player with a Full Version of Android Lollipop https://plus.google.com/103019026671039069038/posts/V5XaLxK3vN8

This is just the base rom with all hardware components working, on this base that is very usable, i want add many other options. like external usb webcam and mic, improving the audio part that have fixed volume and many other things useful for the use in TV.

Nexus Player is not just Android TV, but is the first Nexus device with an intel cpu. Is a milestone in the evolution of Android.

This is just the start and I am very open to sharing and collaboration on this project.

Thanks Chainfire for the root and for your "How-To SU" guidelines.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] Haxxa:
Out of interest will rooting prevent OTA updates from installing in the future?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] volwrath:
I did this, despite the warning it gave me. Now although I still get permission dialogs etc, I can not run the main program to delete apps etc from SU access. Is there anyway to go back to the main screen? I went to the apps sections of the NP and unlike other apps it didnt have an open command.

To get it back do I need to uninstall and then re-CFroot?

Thanks. I should pay better attention to dialog boxes but its not a huge deal.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] Stud22:
Same thing happened to me, I sideloaded a phone dialer app and typed in *#*#1234#*#* to launch su. I searched for it and seen this on a nexus 5 forum.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] xBIGREDDx:
It appears to have broken OTA for me, unless I happened to have also changed something else to cause my issue, but I don't think I did.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] Sleeepy2:
Which dialer app did you install? I've tried 4 and I can't get any to work with the remote or my keyboard.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] Stud22:
I had to try a bunch too, I think this one was the one I got to work. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.modoohut.dialer
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] modstorm:
Is it possible for someone to upload a mirror of the file in the op? Chainfire's website seems to be down :/
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] midnightzak:
My SuperSU says there is no binary installed. I've gained root and flashed LolliRock, so I know it is up and running. However I'm trying to get Stickmount to work, and it doesn't currently. Can I just go through the ADB steps for your root to get SuperSU binaries on here, or is there something else I need to do?

Edit: I was able to redo your root and fix my binaries.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] jestexman:
yea anyone have a new download Chainfire's has been maxed out on bandwidth...
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] Hero_is_Over:
Same! Its driving me crazy man. I really need to root now i have a friend coming over to play smash brothers n64 on NPlayer . please can someone post a mirror link (just upload there zip to a filesharing host. Mega, 4shared, google drive.....etc) this would be lovely
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] tspirtle:
Root isn't necessary to emulate N64.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] Sleeepy2:
Not sure what bandwith I have in drop box, but go nuts until its done

Here is a box link also

Just read the original website and it says do not redistribute so links removed.

Help

I'm getting the message "No such file or directory" when I try to do the "fastboot boot root.img"

What should be the problem, thanks in advance for the help.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] shimp208:
Make sure the root.img is in the same directory as your fastboot.exe on your computer.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] The Rubenator:
Thanks

That did the work for me, very appreciated

from reports in another thread this isnt working right with the 5.1.1 update
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] dfl:
It doesnt seem to be working for me on 5.1.1

Oh well, i am sure [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] will take care of this when he has time for it.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] GabbyWC:
My Nexus Player is currently rooted on Android 5.1 but I'll hold off on the Android 5.1.1 update until Chainfire releases a newer root solution for it. Some of the problems that people are having with root on 5.1.1 are discussed at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60294074&postcount=91 and http://xdaforums.com/nexus-player/general/5-1-1-update-t3088961.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] scorpio16v:
I run in the same problem, that the device stucked on the 4 dots and had to reinstall the fw.

I haven't tested it, but has anyone tried the to install the binaries thought custom recovery option ? Maybe this could work if you have installed CM recovery.

edit:

OK, tried the root.img. After booting, superuser was not shown in main-menu and under apps.

Than, I've installed CM-recovery and installed the superuser.zip. After rebooting, same result, no SU app.

But I have root access. Can mount /system r/w in Root-Explorer, mount USB-Sticks and can connect my PS3 controller via sixaxis-app.

Only bad thing is, that no app asks for SU permission before going root.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] mskip:
I fixed this problem with rooting 5.1.1 last week in my Android Toolkit *HERE*. The problem with SuperSU not showing in the Apps bar is fixed if you adb install the Superuser.apk file that was used to root. If you have already rooted and have installed the Toolkit you can go to section 19 from the Main Menu and select the Superuser fix (option1) to extract the Superuser.apk and adb install it. Android 5.1.1 is also fully supported with download/flash/root available.

I did post in Chainfires support thread to let him know about the 5.1.1 rooting problem but I guess he has been away on a well deserved break.

[Nexus Player Original Android Development] bmakk2055:
That's good news, will try tomorrow
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] mskip:
Let me know.

Mark.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] FaberfoX:
Hey Mark, I've just rooted my NP on LMY47V using your toolbox, had to use option 19 to push the SuperSU apk and now it's rooted. My issue is with busybox, using the busybox app, it tries to install it but says 'It looks like BusyBox is installed, but it does not appear to be the version that you selected...' and trying to run it from an adb shell segfaults. Looking in /system/xbin I've noticed that the file is only 32768 bytes, and while df says there's 16MB free on /system, trying to create a file fails with 'No space left on device' (after remounting /system rw). Do you have any idea on how to solve this?

Thanks!

Edit: Ok, so it looks like the issue was lack of space on /system, I made some deleting both the Japanese and Korean IME (at /system/app), I hope it won't cause issues in the future (but I guess it will) so does anyone know how are the volumes defined on the NP, to grow /system just a little bit?

[Nexus Player Original Android Development] KingMike67:
Where is it failing for you? Mine rooted fine, but I SU did not show up, so I had to use the option (#19 I think) in the main menu to push it over. It showed up, I ran it, updated the SU Binary and it's been perfect ever since. Maybe you are running into the same issue.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] bmakk2055:
When selecting the model it want do anything
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] KingMike67:
That's strange. If you enter 99 do you get to the Main Menu? Maybe its a bad install or something is corrupt

Maybe [MENTION=894259]mskip[/MENTION] can offer some insight to what might be going on
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] suhelbrar:
I had a question about rooting the Nexus Player manually (without using any toolkit) by first flashing a custom recovery (TWRP) and then flashing SuperSU (UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip) from the recovery. I use this process to root my Nexus 5, but used toolkits for rooting the Nexus Player since no custom recovery was available before.

Please, let me know if anyone has gotten root access this way successfully. Thanks.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] mondohow:
Recently got my NP and what you want to try is exactly what I did and it worked great.

I used the SuperSu (v2.49) from here tho: http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133

Good luck.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] suhelbrar:
[MENTION=5888813]mondohow[/MENTION] Yea I tried it and you are right, I had to use the Beta version 2.49 in order to get SuperSU to show in the apps. Thanks for the link.

What steps did u take? Flash SuperSU via twrp?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] LloydShow:
fastboot oem unlock

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Boot into recovery mode.

Install BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip

Reboot system.

Stuck on loading screen
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] raptor170:
Hmmm try Booting back into twrp and wipe cache and dalvick/art cache And reboot
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] LloydShow:
Just tried that. Didn't work still stuck on loading screen. What's your succesful walkthrough?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] raptor170:
I'm guessing that your nexus player was on 7.x don't think flashing the boot.IMG was needed and may be the culprit. You may have to flash stock firmware, which will bring u back to stock, than you will have to push twrp to the device again and flash the required SuperSU.zip........ Or flash a custom ROM. Unless anyone else has other input
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] LloydShow:
Okay skipped flashing boot.img and just flashed twrp and supersu. Worked a treat. Now have a rooted nexus player.

Next issue. Stickmount is installed and working yet will not find my 5TB external hard drive. Keeps saying none active mounts.

That's a good question, I was going to rrot my bros nexus player on 7.1.1 and was wondering the same? I'm still on 7.0 on mine lol. Did you ever end up flashing SuperSU on 7.1.1?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] toddyskates:
If anyone is looking to root android 8.0, you can do it by using nexus root toolkit, selecting nexus player, any build, and then advanced and booting to custom recovery. then the only version of SU i could get to work i found in a OP3/OP3T Oreo forum on xda. It wont let me paste a links, but the versioun i used is SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip .

just download this file, and sideload zip through NRT.

as this version is for a phone, the very first screen will be sideways. just select okay or whatever comes up ( i dont recall right now) and then you'll be in the app and have root privileges. i was able to get the Sixaxis controller working without any problems from this point.

Weird issue that I've been seeing hoping you all can help with.

Frequently at night when I put my watch on the charger the night time clock face switch comes on then fades off into the standard dark screen. Charging still works fine. If I reboot the device it drops into the bedside clock mode with no issues.

Thoughts or fixes?

Is noone else seeing this behavior?

Since last update, they changed something. Probably to do with the screen burn in. I noticed I didn't have to do the ambient mode on and off trick all the time as sometimes it just turned itself off while charging.

I got a DNA today and it's still on JB.

Just seconds before getting a software update on the phone, I decided to see if the latest update is going to block root and seems like it's the case.

Tried to S-OFF thru loads of different methods but all to no avail, so I thought of upgrading it to 605.1 first.

It seems like there's an EXE RUU (http://xdaforums.com/droid-dna/general/official-exe-ruus-s-t2935556 ) for that. I should be update from JB to KK with that EXE RUU, right? And I will still be able to S-OFF with firewater with 605.1?

Track pad works. Pairs just fine. Home button works too. Very light and very happy to use this.
[Nexus Player Accessories] eko3484:
Just want to say that the battery life has been great on this. Not all of the extra button's other than letters, numbers, space, enter and esc work in every app I've used. I have mapped keys in a couple of emulators which was kind of fun to play with. Also, the keys are a little stiff when pressing so for me it's kind of difficult to type fast. At the top corners are the left and right mouse buttons, positioned like triggers which I think is awesome. The touch pad has been very responsive so far and double tap functionality works too.
