The integration costs the company money, that's why updates mostly came very late or never.

And that's because we use custom ROMs like CM oder LOS. LOS13 [Build2] has a security patch level from march 2017.

For my experience chromecast does not support avi extensions. This app does the miracle ?? At night I try

[Google Chromecast] viappscompany:
Yes, it does ;)
[Google Chromecast] Purah:
i tested the app.

only video, no audio. apparently it wont transcode on-the-fly like the app "MegaCast".

no reason from my side to use your app, unless you can do better on-the-fly transcoding, for example just transcode the audio stream and pass through the video stream.

THAT would be a reason to use your app!

it was 1080p h264 + dual language ac3 (i guess) in mkv.
[Google Chromecast] viappscompany:
Hi, Purah

Thank you for your review.

Did you cast some local video from your device, or you used DLNA server? And what chromecast version you are using?

Actually ViCast does audio only transcoding when it is possible and it looks like your file is a case. There is a known issue with ChromecastUltra which may lead to behaviour that you have described. We will add this note to the description.

Could you please provide us the file which you have tried to cast?
[Google Chromecast] Purah:
I used a local video to test ViCast and no test with Plex Media Server + ViCast yet.

Chromecast 1. gen. with root.

What does this mean?

Sorry, not allowed to distribute this file but i can give you the information obtained by media info.
[Google Chromecast] viappscompany:
Hey Purah,

Issue with the no audio on Chromecast 1. gen fixed.
[Google Chromecast] ark163:
Excellent App

I have been searching for some time for an app to cast my mkv files with ac3 audio. Megacast trancodes but was dropping out part way through. Finally found vicast and it works perfectly. Thanks. Should ask will you be releasing a paid version to get rid of those annoying ads?
[Google Chromecast] viappscompany:
Hi, Thank you for the review:)

We are currently working on the paid version.

Why cannot i cast movie codec bluray.h264.aac.mp4 from my tablet to tv. On tablet it works perfectly.
[Google Chromecast] SiriusCybernetik:
Hi,

I've got this "HuiHeng WiFi Display Dongle", which is supposed to do Airplay, DLNA and Miracast. However it has very poor decoding capabilities. As a result, almost none of my local video files can be casted to this device.

My question is, is ViCast compatible with DLNA and/or Airplay? If not, do you have any plans to include DLNA support in the near future? Willing to pay for a reliable transcoding app for DLNA.

Thanks in advance for your time
[Google Chromecast] nzmike001:
I'm was planning to buy a Chromecast today to take away with me on my upcoming one month South America trip but the majority of my media is in MKV format, mostly x264 and more recently x265. if viCast can do x264 MKV then I will definitely give it a try. But can ViCast do x265 yet? If not, is this something you think will be possible? Recently I have started only encoding or downloading x265 files due to their tiny size so if I could cast those via the Chromecast I'd be a very happy camper.

Also, is your app able to find and view videos files in hidden folders (ones prefixed with a dot)? My kids use my phone quite a bit so I want to make sure any unsuitable TV shows or movies (or any other, ahem, "adult oriented videos") I might have cannot be viewed by them.

If it doesn't can I make a suggestion? I've seen so many people also request this in other apps - basically you allow support for hidden files and folders but password protect it so even if my 5 year old starts ViCast they can only see the vids in the main Google/OS Videos folder. But if I wanted to watch hidden files I could enter the password (entered during setup) and it would list them and allow me to play them. What do you think?
[Google Chromecast] Adilost:
Superb app! Keep up the good work..

May i have one suggestion though? Please add a video zoom option so that any video size can be zoomed to fill up any screen from where it is watched ?
[Google Chromecast] atilagrodrigues:
I have installed de this app but it's not working on Android 9. Every time i tried to cast something the app simply closes itself. The developers still suport the app?

Ouch! Why will there be a difference?

"China to Get High-End Version of Galaxy S8+ with 6GB RAM & 128GB ROM"

Could it be that the market has more competitive Phone choices?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sanjsrik:
I was looking for the 128Gb version because I kept seeing it would be released and the only version Tmobile is releasing is the 64Gb version. Seemed odd.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RMXO:
I think its retarded too, they should of just sold one model (6GB RAM/128GB) worldwide. When I had a Mate 9, I had to buy the CHN version for 6/128 compared to the normal 4/64. I might have to do it again if the CHN version supports all of TMO LTE bands. One thing I've experienced with CHN vs US phones is I get better reception with the US version even though the CHN supports all of TMO bands.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] willhub:
It's costs, it's probably cheaper over there, the price increase for 6gb/128gb in the UK would make the S8+ nearly 1000 quid!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] s327374:
Don't know what's going on... I'm in China and will hopefully grab one once they are up for sale... Worries me that there are no pre orders yet. Also... Needs to have an exact HK variant. If they aren't the same model as the HK variant, then I won't be able to exchange firmware, and then there is no way I will put myself through the torture of a phone without Google.NO WAY! I guess I'd wait until summer to pick up the 4gb version in my home country... Probably the metaphorical smoke will have cleared by then and things will have calmed down a bit to see what battery life is like. Worried I'll purchase another​ battery lemon like what happened to my 6p... Man, that battery died in a year and a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dezborders:
Chinese model = no warranty so thats a deal breaker for me

6GB vs 4GB RAM you probably wont notice the difference in real world use

You can buy a 128GB SD card for much less than the difference in RRP between world and chinese models

Finally will the chinese model support the LTE bands required for your region and carrier?

Too many unknowns for me
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mikey_sk:
it my have a global modem that supports all bands (bar cdma in the sd 835). agree, you wont notice much of a difference between 4/6 gb...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] s327374:
Will 6gb affect battery life in a negative way? I still doubt this will happen, but nonetheless, don't mind investigating thoughts on this matter.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RMXO:
Things to remember if you get the CHN version is no warranty, stuck on CHN ROM unless you root and install a different ROM and possible no wifi calling if your US carrier supports it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] s327374:
I agree that being stuck on CHN firmware is a horror show if you are not a Mandarin/Chinese language user.

From another perspective, so long as there is a HK firmware for SAME model number, you should be able to change firmware to HK firmware from CHN Firmware using ODIN. Pretty simple process. I have managed to do this on several Samsung phones no worries. Only with the C7 (2016) did I recently come across some weirdness that was solved by an XDA member who prescribed a relatively painless ordering of ODIN processes.

However, Samsung used to have weird China only models that did not have a HK firmware variant... which completely sucked - My Note 4, SN-9108v was a horrible experience due to this firmware and model isolation practice. Also, there are some phones that are only sold in China and only come again with Chinese Firmware (possibly the C9 pro (2017) is an example - can't remember). If Samsung have chosen the same isolationist Chinese model practice for s8, then avoid it like the plague... You'll be buying into a joyless and expensive sans google experience that will only be tolerable with decent Mandarin skills to enjoy the plethora of Chinese app store equivalents to google.

At this stage, I cannot find any reliable links to Chinese and HK model numbers. Perhaps a Chinese based Mandarin XDA user can clarify. I am very interested in preordering this mythical Chinese s8+, but I am not in the industry and am a little time poor in terms of being able to research this. There certainly seems to be very little reputable information (in English) or easily found reputable information (via translate) that details exactly when or how pre-orders in China or HK will operate. Just unsubstantiated re-reported links and news stories about the 6Gb variant and blah blah blah.

Would be really great to hear from someone legitimately more informed than me in this matter.

Cheers!

I don't care if it is 4GB or 6. Just so long as it is NOT Snapdragon.

ok - It seems we can try to preorder the Chinese variant on the 10th of May.

I will try to order a 6gb Ram 128 gb storaged - black. Although from my experience, anything like this type of buying online is quite annoying and quite beyond a Laowai like me...

If I can order one (big if), it will be a massive leap of faith, and I hope like crazy, I can then use ODIN to immediately change the firmware to the HK googlified one. It bodes well that the phone is also up for preorder in HK and it seems the two models have the same name. Would be a huge and expensive mistake for me to order a Chinese rom phone without ability to get google onto it.

Fingers crossed this ride will be worth it.

is it possible to buy a mainland version and flash it to HK? Has anyone tried this successfully ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] s327374:
I have experienced this type of hell before - see my signature (N9108v). However, I remain optimistic due to more recent efforts from Samsung. I recently changed over firmware from A series and a C series phones. One was smooth and easy to do and involved a simple ODIN procedure. The other not so simple: https://xdaforums.com/android/help/...c7000-32gb-t3550591/post71435575#post71435575

What I noted before finding success with the not so simple firmware replacement was that the phone without google services actually wasn't too bad. A combination of VPN and Samsung store enabled me to download quite a bit of Google stuff too... Just not the play store itself. But I was semi impressed with how I could actually get some things like maps etc. So the Darkest days for google on Samsung seem to have passed as far as I'm concerned. Even if I can't do the HK firmware replacement, I will still have a pretty good experience compared to the old N9108v days... Shudder!

I hope.

I will be trying once I get the phone. I'll keep you posted, but will also be asking peeps here and about for assistance.

Even if I can't though, I am prepared to deal with it as per above.

Great. I was worried as the link on HK Samsung just points to the product information, but the link I used in mainland gets me to buying (and selling).

HK not a good fit me, as I'll end up without a warrantee - like with my 6p and it's cool battery that does not work properly anymore...

I'm not a frequent HK traveller, so it stuffs me around if anything goes wrong. Hence my need to buy Mainland China. Almost pushes me back to Huawei or Xiaomi, as they are surprisingly easily updated with Google services. (insert glare, at Samsung)

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] peekie:
for me the rom size 64gb is big enough so dont miss the 128gb , its always better to have apps running on the phone , my htc m8 only has 16gb and needs apps on sd , not a problem but after every update of the apps the apps on sd return to internal , which is a pain having to move them after every update. as for extra ram its always usefull to have but mainly if you have multi ram hogging apps open , gives you an idea what the note 8 will have and when the note 8 is out you get an idea over the s9.
