My Xperia Z (stock rom, rooted, cwm) works perfectly with sending music or photos to my Samsung TV B series via throw.
When i try to play any of my video files from Xperia Z to my TV, the video playback not works at all for ANY video formats....
I get the message "CANNOT PLAY VIDEO"
I search via net and find a solution to turn phone off and back on but not working for me...
Any solution to fix it?
Thanks in advance

I have the exact same problem since the begining, the very first time I tried it, it worked just great with all the sample videos. But to be honest after I rebooted the phone for the first time it never worked again. Music and Photo's work fine. The phone will now not throw to any of my DLNA devices for video, regardless of format.
I have just tried something out of curiousity, will report back if it helps anything

Yeah it did not work , I tried to upload the files through media2go to see if there was some conversion... But no still exactly the same, this is really annoying. Hopefully it will be fixed with 4.2.2 if it ever comes

I updated to a new ROM RomAur and now at least works to my laptop (playing videos), still shows the tv in the device list, but doesn't play videos. It doesn't even play videos recorded on the phone, and the formats are compatible with dlna ???

Sony , as I said before it worked only once. The TV shouldn't matter it uses DLNA which is an industry standard

...for transmission. Says nothing about the content. If the target device refuses to accept the (unknown) content nothing you can do.
Try playing the files on your tv via a usb stick. They play, the fone is ****ed. They dont play, the tv is ****.

This may be a dumb suggestion but i'll still go ahead with it :silly:
Have you tried hitting play on the video from phone, i'm saying this cos i had the same problem but then hitting play on the phone loaded the video on to the TV.

What are you talking about??? The transport is DLNA, so will only work with media that is supported by DLNA. As said here already stupid idea, if you read the posts you will discover that at least for me it worked the very first time I tried it with video.
What I have been testing are files that worked before, nothing changed, and formats supported by the TV and DLNA, so not sure where you come up with (unknown) I don't believe anyone mentioned that.
Have you got it working?

My Galaxy Note doesn't recognize my Onkyo TX-NR509 in Allshare. The other way round the Onkyo recognizes all DLNA/UPNP devices in my network but not the Note. Using BubbleUPNP it sees the Onkyo and I can choose it as the output device but when I start streaming it doesn't play and ends with an error ("Transport is locked (Code: 705)"). Every other phone is working fine with the Onkyo (Desire HD, Defy, Milestone)
Any clues?
Thanks
since I in the router "UPnP" allowed , it works for me (Onkyo TX 8050)
( test it, now works it no more ..... He sees him, NAS works, PopCorn A 100 works no more Onkyo ?,strange )

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem with my Onkyo TX-NR609!
Have you solved this issue?
BubbleUPnP has no problems streaming to my Medion WLAN-radio and other devices, only streaming to my Onkyo-receiver fails.
Best regards

tried different codec songs?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
Yes, MP3 and AAC, while AAC fails with every device!
I found the "Onkyo Remote"-app on Google Play, and with this app streaming is as easy as it should be.
So no idea, why it won't work with BubbleUPnP...

It's not about codecs and not about BubbleUPnP The general problem is that the Samsung Note doesn't recognize the Onkyo as a DLNA/UPNP device. Allshare doesn't even see it. It's also Rom independent - same prob with Stock as with CM10. Really a shame. Thank god I own a WD TV Live
Okay, this is really a shame for Samsung!
Here you can find the Onkyo-app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...Remote&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
Using it, streaming works like a charm.

actually dnla implementation is up to manufacturers. Then it could very well be wrong on onkyos side.
I guess another standard missing the boat. Just like java.

Hi,
just for info, Bubble UPNP works fine with my Onkyo TX-NR616.
Concering "Transport is locked (Code: 705)"... I need to select NET -> DNLA manually (e.g. using the Remote or Onkyo App) before using Bubble UPNP. But then all is working as expected. However, no gapless support.

Thank you so much for that tip. I spent all night last night trying to find the solution, even trying to contact the developer. I have 2 onkyos TX-NR708 in family room and TX-NR818 in theater.

Doesn't work for on ics though (presumably due to lack of Flash support - has this been reinstated in JB?) - media support installation says "file corrupted". But I seem to have achieved the same functionality with the TVCatchUp app (via Play) for live streaming (which seems to work fine).

well all i can say its a great phone for the price only apps not working is skygo but then again its not just this phone its not working on loads of phones ..only other down fall is you cant put apps on the sd card but you can if you root it but 8 gig is a lot of space for apps so no big deal but like need for speed is like 1.84 gig so you can soon take up the space but how many games do you need to play at time i do think 8 gig is ok but i do think it was a mistake not to allow transfer to sd card ..i have a 32 gig card so plenty of room for films pics music and i have 100 games on stand by on it for when i need to install ...what i will say is this phone is fast no lag internet is way fast did a test with a friend with iphone 5 and also luma 800 and yes the razr i 1 every time lumia 800 was not far behind and yes iphone 5 was last every time on the same net work the iphone was at least 3 to 4 sec behind loading pages with the lumia about 1 sec if that ..camera not great in low light but great outside has played all games so far again with no lag battery life great i can go a hole day with using it a lot ..thats with great setting like it turns of wifi when you leave home and when i get back it knows im home and turns on wifi so save on battery life :laugh:

this worked a treat - installed straight away and worked!!!!
cheers very much
please ignore - weird things happened.
Looks like iplayer has finally been updated as its now working on my stock Razri.

Lyrics not showing up in music player. When i tried the same mp3 in ipod touch, I can see the lyrics. anybody facing the same issue?:crying:
I tell you you're not the only one... I'm not sure about this but seems like HTC One is slow on fetching lyrics depending on the country your in.
same, however sometimes when I do get the lyrics, it ends up being the wrong one.
Consider yourself lucky then... Had 170+ mp3 here on my phone for over a month now have yet to see any lyrics showing up eversince
This has nothing to do with the HTC One. It has to do with the very limited GraceNote Media database. I have only found a few albums that have lyrics. And sometimes only two or three songs on the album have them.

Grizzly Bear - 'Sheilds' album has lyrics for all the songs on the album. In fact, on one song (and only one), the lyrics were displayed karaoke style on the background, in addition to being available to scroll through.

A few others that probably no one knows: some songs by Fog '10th Ave Freakout' album, I think 5 out of 13 songs, and the last 2 songs on the 'For Hero: For Fool' album by Subtle.
Ok, I downloaded the album, played the same song you show (Yet Again), and nothing happens.
It looks like It depends on the country you are. (I'm from Santiago, Chile).
Going to try using some kind of VPN, and try again.

Same with me. Download Grizzly Bear - 'Sheilds' and I have no lyrics. I am from Czech Republic
Could you by chance share the exact same mp3 you had lyrics on? I'm not sure but maybe it's on the meta tags or whatever but having the actual file should solve some of the mysteries of this lyrics thingy.

Hello everyone,
So I got my Google Chromecast today and after a bit of messing around I found this cool neat feature that allows you to mirror your entire display to the chromecast device.
This is how you do it.
1) In Google chrome browser on your computer click the Google cast extension and then click the little arrow in the extension and select "cast entire screen (experimental) I've attached a screenshot.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) after completing step one select your chromecast device and walla you see your screen on your TV
This seems to be an experimental feature so let me know how it works for you, so far I've tested it on my Linux Mint 15 laptop and it works nicely there is a minor delay but at least its something
Nice Find!!
It would be great if the audio also worked it streams xbmc great but not audio
FYI: Need Chrome Beta for this to show.
This is really cool, nice find.
I hope audio works through this in the future!
Make video please
Chrome beta allows you to shoot to your tv? I am looking for the option but dont see it !

Do you see the arrow in the upper right corner when you press the chromecast button in chrome?
lol my TV IS my computer monitor actually. I just use the Chromecast for when I dont want to start up my pc ,,,but I will check shortly
You can cast just audio from that menu too.
How good is the screen mirroring? If it works well with no lag, I may use this to cast some PC games to the TV!

Have yet to try a game but there is definitely lag, (~ a half a second?) just scrolling the web page but audio is good, video is good, and the audio/video sync seems to be fine.
Right now I'm casting Google Play Music from my average, 1 year old, Toshiba laptop, to my cheap-ass, Insignia TV, listening to Taj Mahal tear-up the guitar.

oh, fair enough.
i don't think it's any laggier than the tab projection so you should look up videos of that on youtube for an idea.
There is a half a sec up to 2 sec lag so I don't think it's suitable for gaming unless someone finds a way to lower the lag somehow.
Also I use the stable version of chrome on Linux and it works so I don't know maybe for windows the beta version of chrome is needed.
The biggest down side for me is that audio is not working in the desktop cast mode
it doesnt even work for me.the CC doesnt respond to me clicking the cast entire screen (im on chrome stable)
Well when I use Netflix off my phone there is a real slight delay and it takes a few seconds after that for the proper resolution to kick in.. So if your game is lag dependant like a shooter etc.. I would be hesitant

Can someone test this Chrome extension on Chromecast. Media Player allows you to play video from your chrome browser. Just drop video into blank tab.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/media-player/nmkigfdipchbagbecdmmomiahkkhlcfo
I'm writing an extension to send various contents from the web to the chromecast. If you are brave enough you can give it a try.
Update 0.8 (the new version is taking shape)
Major changes: new name. : )
Minor changes: the UI is more conventional but is the result of the code simplification and allows avoiding some operations, like javascript injections.
To install the extension you have to drag and drop the crx file in the extensions tab (chrome://extensions)
If you use the stable channel of chrome, google will likely block the extension soon after the first restart of the browser. In that case, to use it further, I suggest installing chrome canary.

Basically it forces the use of the cast API so your pc won’t act as the server of the video but only as the remote controller, mimic the behavior of youtube in websites that don’t support chromecast.

Does that have any advantages? I notice that often, casting the entire tab of a screen playing a video makes it tough on my Chromecast whereas the Youtube implementation works pretty smoothly. Does using your version make it smoother?

It should, as the extension is telling Chromecast to go grab the media directly, rather than your PC trying to encode from the screen and send the (re)encoded video to Chromecast.
Did anyone try it ?
its working good
but i also have to have the cc extensionn running to cast directly to cc
would be nice if that is automatic
I tried at yify.tv, doesn't work, extension always fail to transfer source to chromecast with the red ! sign on the extension icon.

Unfortunately you’re right, I’ve never had to deal with video urls like theirs. There are many things that need to be improved, i hope to find the time
Awesome extension... exactly what i was looking for... my mother just has an old slow laptop n with this extension streaming simple flash streams works like a charm. With google cast its realy realy laggy.. so thnx n keep on working

While thundercast is enabled you should see a big, ugly button over the videos. It will cast the video if chromecast support its format, otherwise you can always download it.
Btw, i'm rewriting the extension from scratch and will be very different. My intention is to release it in the store, but it's not going to happen soon.
Maybe this thread can be closed, but i have a thing for the user of xda i'd like to share when the new version is ready.
Ps: sorry i didn't get (or i lost) the notification from the forum

This has become one of my favourite extensions. Looking forward to try out when I get home. Any chance to release it to the store, it is really painful to come back here and update manually every time a new version is out or if I want to install it on my other devices
This version seem fantastic. I hope it reduce the lag that official chromecast extension give in flash video on chrome.
I try to use it.

About the store, I haven’t decided yet. There are some (few) things I want to improve before but I'm having issues with the chromecast. It has such a poor wifi reception I have to carefully position the tv to get it work and, in these days, with the heat, things seem even worse. It’s becoming a bit frustrating…

An HDMI extension (if the included one isn't sufficient) can do wonders for getting Chromecast away from the TV and into a better reception zone. Even a 3-foot (1-meter) cable can help tremendously. TVs are very bad with signal reflection and interference.
Is live streaming websites supported by this extension? I tried to use it with livestation no luck
Also tried it with file drive and did not see cast icon
Where do we get this extension
WHere do we download this extension, I do not find it on the Chrome Extension site???
