any way to fix the lag on the tcpmp for playing youtube videos? basically it will start the video, then i'll hear about 20-30 seconds of audio before it screen changes then 20-30 more seconds of audio, i have the settings set per the download instructions. the way i play the videos is i click on the youtube link and i see the option to save or play video, i hit play and it brings up the player. would saving it be a better way?
can someone help me get this player working properly, i can't get a youtube video to play correctly to save my life, i'm assuming i have the settings incorrect in some way or another, can someone tell me what setting they are using to get youtube to run smoothly, particularly the advanced, direct draw, gapi, and buffering tabs. thanks

Hi brianlb,
have you tried downloading a youtube video (save as .flv)? Does it play smoother after downloading? If not it is probably a settings issue.
The most important is to use Raw Frame Buffer for video settings.

Are you using ytpocket.com
please explain yourself a little better. I am able to stream YT content via ytpocket.com perfect if im in a 3G area. No lag what so ever. If i'm connected via EDGE or GPRS the video has to buffer every couple of seconds. you could even connect via wifi, and have no lag.

yes i'm using ypocket.com i've followed all the instructions on from there and had no luck, then i did a hard reset to erase everything, tried it again, and same thing, i've tried it on hsdpa and 3g and it's very laggy, bascially unwatchable.
bumping, trying to get youtube to actually stream and not lag a lot.
I'm using ytpocket and I keep getting an error saying "MMS protocol not supported!" even though I have the MMS box checked. And I have tried a soft reset also and that didn't work either.
ive tried like 5 different versions tcmpc and youtubeplay and I cant anything to play consistantly. any suggestion ?
What do you mean 'play consistently'? Are you having problems with music playback, or movie playback or both? Or are you having problems playing youtube video's through TCPMP? Perhaps you can elaborate
thanks for replying? Im trying to play a video off of youtube and the first second will start to play, then it will freeze up. If its not possible so be it. I just want to know if this is normal or is there something I can do to fix this
Are you on EDGE or 3g? It could simply be a buffering issue if I'm not mistaken. Have you looked into Coreplayer instead of TCPMP
I'm personally having serious problems playing videos off the non youtube website but can play videos (with lots of pauses for buffering) from the mobile youtube site.
If you're simply trying to play videos from the mobile youtube website, then I suggest you download the FLV plugin for TCPMP and configure your settings correctly. The correct settings can be found on the ytpocket.com website.
I don't know if you have 'flash video bundle' installed which some have said has helped them watch videos straight off youtube. It personally didn't work for me and so I've given up, but try viewing threads detailing issues simmilar to yours.

Edited to add: Coreplayer can only be purchased, it's not a freebee like TCPMP
well most of the time the phone displays HSDPA. I hope buffering is all it is. My cellular video plays fine. Ill try the coreplayer thanks.

Why not simply use vTap?
It can prebuffer the video or it can play directly from site if you use flv!
Also with vTap it is realy simple to search and you can watch videos from other sites too!

Is there anyway to get Coreplayer to launch directly from Youtube, or do you have to access it directly through the player. Also, do you know how to create playlist from videos viewed from youtube in coreplayer?
I've found that Streaming to TCPMP, with FlashVideoBundle, does not "keep alive" the connection. If I'm surfing the web everything is copasetic. I have Tweaked my phone to kill my Data Connection after 3 minutes. Surfing the web, it doesn't kill it after 3 minutes, or it reconnects supa-fast. But If I'm watching a You Tube Video via TCPMP if I'm not careful after three minutes 15 seconds the video stops and I notice my connection has been killed.
Anyone else having stuttering audio on Youtube vids?
I not tried it on 3G but while on wifi and playing HQ videos the sound stutters every now and again.

Not at all on my Nexus
It only happens on youtube strange.
I tried playing music through soundcloud app but there are no issues there.
Fling is the latest in a string of applications designed to stream content to Google’s Chromecast device. Fling is a Java application (so it will work on pretty much every platform) that streams media content directly to Chromecast from your PC. Technically, it is possible to do this anyway, but it requires opening the video or song you want to stream in a Chrome tab, and then casting that tab to the device. Fling does away with that nonsense though, allowing for media to be dragged-and-dropped into the application, whereupon it will begin streaming to the Chromecast.

Looking good. MP4's go over with no problem...But, of course I see you have some transcoding options set up for other formats (like mkv). How will that work? Is this implemented already?
Thanks for the nice app and hard work.

MKV works great! Streaming from my NAS box now. However, the black line for 16:9 is only on top, and picture is at bottom of screen.
However, there is no way to fast forward or rewind.
Wow, this works wonderfully!
I can stream pretty much any video I have on my PC and get video and audio.
Also, you can use the andoid app remotecast https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.benlc.camcast to pause and adjust volume from your phone.
does anyone know how to remove the padding around the videos? when mine plays on the tv it is not centered and the top of the video is cut off

add height=480 and width=760 to your perameters. This will mess with your aspect ratio but it's the only solution I've found. If you can transcode HD then try 720x1280

This is not my work buddy, Yes Implemented, you can download with from the link in the first post
I don't understand. This isn't working at all for me. Tried both Chromecasts I have on different TVs, but every video file (AVIs and MP4) I try does nothing on the app or on the TV. Sometimes I see a track time start running on the app, but still, nothing but the ready to cast screen TV...
Did I miss something? Running Win8.
I also just updated VLC and still doesn't cast anything at all.
Also, does the config.properties file that creates automatically have to stay in the same location as the .jar file? Do we need to keep this at all?

You won't see anything happen to the app. There's a 10 second delay before video starts on tv.

I don't expect to see anything on the app, but most of the times, the counter for the movie never starts, and even when it does eventually, nothing ever shows up what so ever on the TV. So forget a 10-second delay, I've waited minutes and nothing lol.
Also I noticed that sometimes after loading the .jar, it only finds one Chromecast instead of my 2, or it finds NONE- until I hit refresh.
Ya I can't get it to work either for any video formats. It finds my Chromecast, but when I drag a file, my TV just goes black.

Were you able to resume playback with Remotecast? In my short test I was able to change volume and pause, but not able to resume playback.

Yes, in the videos I tried, both pause and then play to re-start worked.
Jumping forward/back doesn't work though.
In my test most videos pause like aircast and cheap cast. Fast Internet connection but I just don't think chromecast was built to stream media over local area networks without issues... But what do I know.

Hey all.
I tried using Chromecast today and it just isn't the same anymore.
When trying to play a "Personal Video" there's no option to stream it to the TV.
The only available icon is to share the video, which I did by accident, and now everything is being shared on Google Plus and I can't seem to find a way for this to stop either.
I'm using a Nexus 10, firmware 4.3, and it's not rooted.
Any help or ideas on what has changed recently?
Sees chromecast from ubuntu, nothing on windows
Fling doesn't find my chromecast using windows. but sees it using ubuntu. However nothing plays.
This is sweet!
I recently got the chromecast and rooted it and then quickly tried to tab cast some streaming games. While the quality is very good I noticed quite a bit of lagging. So I went out to see if there was any way around this and couldn't really find anything. Also when playing flash videos the sound still comes out of the computer and not the tv. I was thinking we may be able to send these videos directly to the chromecast as they are nothing really but a combination of player + url. I found this but don't really know much about devving so thought maybe I could peak someones interest? Or at least throwing an idea out there.

There will always be lag. A faster computer will reduce the lag, but there will always be some lag as it's a decode-reencode.
Not sure about the Flash sound. I casted this insect sound page from Chrome and the sound switched from PC to Chromecast and back when I stopped casting.

Sometimes the player does special things, but if it's simply an embedded player grabbing a YouTube link, perhaps an "enhanced Cast" extension for Chrome could sniff for the direct YouTube link and cast that to the YouTube app directly... Or even more elaborate, something like a media downloader, but instead of downloading, you can choose and queue to Chromecast. That could be useful.

I tried using first row and the like and have been unable to get sound to come thru tv, matter of fact I've been unable to play full screen, also I was thinking maybe there would be a way to somehow install a custom video player like the many available in the play store directly onto chromecast which would enable direct url and other unsupported content to be played directly by chromecast. This would in turn make streaming as efficient (almost) as the way youtube is handled currently.

nope sound doesnt work with the insect sounds, but does with youtube whether I'm casting the youtube tab or sending directly. Also when I go to hulu and play a video or go to your sound page I get a black box in hulu (no video) or just a blank space for the insect sounds. When I play video on first row I get video but sound from computer. Just for completeness I just got upgraded via an ota from pwncast

Sounds like your Flash is being rendered in some odd manner that the Cast extension cannot pick up.
What version of Chrome and Cast extension are you using?
Also, what graphics card and driver do you have?
