Great find thanks for sharing!! This is really nice when there is nothing to watch on my slingbox!!
Works great. Thanks
Started out fine but I had issues with audio and video sync (granted I only tried one program, Dexter S01E01, but had to do it multiple times as it hung up buffering three times). I was using my bluetooth headphones (RocketFish); perhaps that pooched it.
I want it to work so I will wait a little while before purchasing the pro version but it certainly will make the treadmill more interesting. My wifi signal was strong (sitting three feet from router/access point) and my cable ISP connection is very, very good. So it probably was all these G-Tablet folks hitting the Megaload servers.

Has anyone upgraded to the premium version?
Just wondering... I was testing it out and got a message regarding having to upgrade to a premium account in order to watch more than 72 consecutive minutes. The premium doesn't come cheap and appears to stream possible pirated copies of shows?? Just wondering what the fallout of subscribing to this type of service might be.
Thanks in advance for feedback.
PS: I have had some synch issues but the video quality had been good and fits the gtab well.

Hi,
The aplication does not require a subscription.
Megavideo links can be played 72 min, and after you have to wait 30 min for watching more if you are not premium of megavideo. This is the way that megavideo works.
You can use Karambavidz and Frogmovz links without time limitation. You dont need any kind of subscription for using this aplication properly.
and version 2.4.2 is out now, check the improvements ^^
I can confirm working and streaming well on the paid version. Plays mainly from megavideo servers but has two other servers to get past megavideo limitations
Running vegan 5.1
I bought this too. I think it works very well. I have been buying too much stuff on the web market
are any of the videos working for anyone? every video i've tried just gives me a blank screen. on the latest version.
Same here, downloaded the free version to test out and just get a black screen...
I've tried family guy and breaking bad both episode 1 and both work for me on the latest lite version.

TV Streams uses Flash -- as does MegaVideo, Karamvideo, Frogvideo (the sites it aggregates from)
So you'll definitely need Flash working properly.
Try going to a Flash-heavy site and making sure it works properly there first. You may need to enable plug-ins from within your browser as well (You can do this via the "about:debug" page -- just type it into the browser and go. Bring up the settings and make sure you turn on plug-ins.)
The app is fantastic - best $4 I've spent recently...
Good Luck...
Its weird. I tried the lite version a few weeks ago when I was running tent lite and it worked fine. Now I'm runnung vegan 5.1.1 and the videos start audio only with a black screen and then stop after a few seconds. I did check flash by going to natgeo in the browser and watching a video.
Any thoughts?

Hey all,
I am by no means a dev, but I have had some interesting revelations on the Sprint TV app. I've been messing with the apk and found I can run the app if I delete the check_wifi.lua file. If I try to edit it, it will crash. I tried changing the ip address it checks for wifi, but it won't install if I do that.
I think it'd be an easy thing to do, but I know very little about all this. Any thoughts?

All I did was open it in notepad and changed the last number in the ip address to a 0 so that it would fail to see wifi is on. Since I honestly don't know what signing it is, perhaps this is best left out of my hands.
I got it to work by switching back and forth between it and other apps. Now it has been working every time i launch it.

i read somewhere that you needed to get the TV widget on your screen also
even with that i couldnt get it to work ... so after several frustrating reboots
I FINALLY GOT A LISTING!!
at first, it was telling me that i needed to subscribe to every damn channel i tried to watch
but when i went to the subscriptions menu, i saw that i was already subscribed to everything
some more reboots later everything loaded and i could watch channels
now the whole Wifi thing could probably get fixed by some baksmali/smali edits ... im still trying to get a grasp on how to do this so cant help with that yet :\
My tv app works over 3g now.
My tv started working once i hit 3g in my area no reboot
mines working also
mine just started worrking all of sudden too ! so I installed on my wifes mt3g also worked after a while by itself ?! I had widget on at that time anyways if you dont get it to work try again its really well worth it !

It works now, they forgot to update the actual app. Just updated the description.
Update!
seems to be working just fine now over 3g after an uninstall and reinstall
Yep, works fine for me after the update. Thanks to everyone who recommended this!

My Chromecast just updated to build 16041. Anyone know what's new?
Looks like some people started getting this build a few days ago, but nobody has noticed anything significant: http://www.reddit.com/r/Chromecast/comments/1zswmd/chromecast_updated_to_build_16041/
No idea.
Here's a link for a Google forum beginning on March 4th where they're asking questions at the end as if new problems deserve entry level debugging questions. (What router do you have?)
https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/chromecast/xXyNrzm-e8g/discussion
A posts saying a change log would be linked when available - but nothing there.
They used to put it here - http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/2013/12/chromecast-update.html
Then somewhere else for 15250, I can't search from the XDA app.
I got it tonight. Had to force quit Netflix at first, then had no problems after that.
No idea if anything else is working or broken for me yet.
Lots of complaints out there though.

I think that with the release of GoogleCast Beta, which coincided with the 150XX Update that perhaps Google is in play mode with the device and OS and don't want to admit they may have screwed a few pooches!
I have seen the Googlecast crash behavior both with the Beta and Original and the Beta would not even work with Plexweb so I Uninstalled it.
I canceled Netflix so I can't test if that is truly broken.
I gave the new build a quick test with Netflix and Plex. Everything seems fine, no crashes.
I sometimes get the Chromecast failing to connect to Netflix successfully the first time it tries, but it always works the 2nd time, so I haven't bothered worrying about it.

I also expect to see things break for the first few days while an update rolls out.
Everything is so damn interconnected between multiple parties such as Google making a change, The App dev (Netflix, Plex Etc) having to support the changes to work with the new update and finally the user updating the apps to get the changes made.
It's like a really bad Square Dance! LOL

Yep.
14651 really broke it for me and hosed Netflix and YouTube. And I told them so in a bug report - everything working until that update with no app changes and after app changes.
Two weeks after 15250 came out, that fixed my personal issues with both apps, without me updating either app, Google emailed me to tell me that my defect report was being rejected because clearly, I had a Netflix issue and ought to take it up with them.
The beginning of my defect report said: "Do not look at this as a Netflix issue, it's happening with YouTube too and just started with 14651."
I still love my Chromecast, I still think it's great and I still think Google is pretty Mickey Mouse when it comes to being forthcoming and working with people.

The fact they are averaging an update every week or two just underscores the fact they keep messing with the works and when you fix what isn't broke you tend to break it.
The Windows Chromecast app does not load for me anymore after this update. In the task manager I can see it open then it shuts right down.
After this update my chromecast doesnt boot Only Google Logo then black screen on my TV Samsung... Thx Google...

Great! This, along with the ability to turn on the TV, is why I highly recommend using wall/utility power rather than a TV USB port which often loses power when the TV is turned off.
Even mine got updated to this version. I feel this update is crappy, getting disconnected even for YouTube casting every 5 mins.. It used to work flawless until now. But then ... Waiting patiently for a fix

It may actually be something which is Lot Number (Device Version) specific.
It seems to be affecting a lot of folks so I expect it will be handled in the next release provided they can even figure out what is causing it by the time that release is available.

Today (July 9th) Google has released the anticipated latest Chromecast app that would allow us to screen cast our phones to a TV. It's only available for a limited amount of phone, which our Note3s are supposed to be supported.
However, the Play Store only shows v1.5.5.
Can someone verify this?
Try this apk. It's version 1.7.4
http://www.mediafire.com/download/wqhdjkt4zdrnrk7/com.google.android.apps.chromecast.app-1.7.4.apk
I only have android 4.3 and it requires 4.4.1 or higher so I can't test it fully. It installs for me but no screencast feature found.
After my first post, and after searching the interwebs I finally found this 1.7.4 version.
After install, it does exactly what they advertised. It screen casts everything to the TV. To test, I played a video in full screen mode from my PGA Tour app, and it looked beautiful! Especially in full screen!
*Update* the Chromecast in the play store still only shows v1.5.5. Which is says it's been updated on July 9th (today), so I can only assume our wonderful Note3s will not get this updated version through the normal "official" channels.
I hope I'm wrong.
I saw that too. I went online though, and found a 1.7.4, but it's not casting. It doesn't even show my Chromecast on the device when I try to cast. It just shows "My Device". It does show up in the Chromecast app though.

Just got a reply over in the Chromecast Help forums suggesting that my issue may be to being rooted, even though I'm still running the stock rom with a few bloatware frozen. They suggest unrooting my phone.
Just putting the solution out here for others. Personally, I'm not giving up my room just to Screencast.

Hi, I've been trying to chromecast for the last few days. I came from a Nexus 6p which worked 100% with chromecast. If i use the web browser and try to cast from a video channel, it never connects to my chromecast or TV (with chromecast built in). I've tried the mirroring option but it never finds a chromecast. I've downloaded Google Home, that seems to have a bug where i can't login to my google account from my P20 Pro.
I've looked online and on here and haven't seen any other posts on it. It would be good to test. I am on the Dual Sim Three UK 8.1.0.102 (C782) variant.
Thanks
It has worked flawlessly using local cast app.
I've always found Google home glitchy.
Sent from my CLT-L29 using Tapatalk
Works flawlessly for me. I've had the P20 Pro since release and I've never had a problem using a Chromecast, although I did recently factory reset my Chromecast, so that may have fixed any issues.
I use Chromecast several times a day, and haven't noticed anything odd.
I'm using Chrome browser to play web-videos and the Google Home app to mirror the screen.
Haven't used the built-in cast/mirror feature, but that has never worked reliably for me on any device
Thanks all, i wonder what is happening here. Even the Google home app isn't working. It's like an authentication error in the app. Chromecast doesn't connect to either of my chromecast devices. Works fine on my old phone still. I wonder if it's my firmware. I am on .102 which i know is really old. Waiting for Three/Huawei to update...

Chromecast mostly works for me. The only thing that doesn't is volume controls from screen off. Apart from that, and the few normal Chromecast glitches, it works well.
I'm casting NFL Gamepass from my P20 Pro to my Nvidia Shield as I type this, it's worked flawlessly whenever I've tried since I got my phone (mine is also dual SIM from Three).
This works very sporadically for me, often from apps that cast (excluding Netflix and YouTube which have a different mechanism for Chromecast discovery) it's as if the refresh devices button doesn't really trigger a proper refresh.
The Google home app often doesn't show my Chromecasts but if I keep it open and wait maybe 5 minutes they'll eventually show.
Anyone seen anything like this?
I had problem with NBA game time app, it didn't display the cast icon after update of the device to .107 but iwas probably due to the implementation of an old. Chromecast API from NBA app itself. After NBA has updated the app is working perfectly

Have you guys tried it with apps other than youtube or netflix?
Those work fine for me but they use a different discovery method, see here;
actually... I can't post links but googling "netflix different chromecast discovery" and going to the google developers discovery troubleshooting confirms this.
Network is also ruled out for me as it's still working flawlessly on my old phone and my wife's phone.
I cast all the time from Plex so it's super annoying not being able to find the chromecasts for 10 minutes and the closing apps/G Home, rebooting etc trying to trigger a discovery.
Cheers,
Jon
Oh a further update to my theory of "the refresh/scan isn't working as it should"
I have a CC that turns off when the TV is turned off and this sometimes appears in the list of devices for hours after it's been turned off, like overnight.
I've tried a factory reset but it didn't help, it's across multiple apps so maybe something to do with discovery in the android discovery software itself?
I wish all the apps just used their own discovery like YT/NF.... grumble, grumble...
Further update...
I'm 90% sure this is due to some overly aggressive power saving. I've also noticed the BBC news widget doesn't update as much as it should.
Today I tested resetting a Chromecast and attaching it as a new one. Didn't work. Needed to use another device to get it set up with Google home. Not ideal. Be interesting to see if anyone else can attach a new Chromecast after factory resetting one if anyone fancies some troubleshooting for me?
Go on, be a pal.
Cheers,
Jon

Im also experiencing some problems with chromecast. Basically, some apps, like spotify, sometimes does not show my chromecasts under devices available.
After some tests, I think it is something related to the wifi strength and wifi+. If I disable the sim data, magically all the chromecasts around my house are correctly detected.
