Hello everyone! I have a question for you.. Today i tried to use SmartShare. As to my knowledge, the app i used for transfering files from my mobile phone to my computer. I installed Plex Media Server and Nero MediaHome 4 and i dont know how to start it up. When I open SmartShare on my phone, It recognizes my phone but doesnt recognize my computer. Maybe I got this app all wrong, but i hope someone can help me...
Smartshare is to tranfer files using wifi. You can use bluetooth. Better check using user guide.
No no no, smart share is clasic DLNA app...so basically you can use DLNA capable device TV, PC, notebook...that share same WIFI network (some old routers are not capable to stream DLNA). On PC zou need to enable sharing and media streming, no need for PLEX etc.

And how do I enable that?
Im using with my tv LG LV5500. There already a smartshare on LG tv`s. I dont know if it works with other tv`s. But w/ LG TV`s you just have to be on the same router using wifi, then your lg tv will apear in your 4x smartshare appand you can start using it.

The problem is not on TV's, is on computers but, I didn't try it...
If the computer have shared media it should appear in the phone list of Smart Share.
I'll check how it works...

Question is not clear, but I guess you ask how to enable PC to receive media from phone.
Open Windows Media Player click on stream tab and check allow remote control, leave it open and scan again for players on phones Smart Share app...
Next time be more clear...

Admitting that the windows you use is illegal(is is,right?) requires great courage. You should be proud...
However, using ingenuine software(hacked, cracked, illegal) is not really smart, as far as i know you windows is not capable of recieving updates. (I have checked, and tyere seems to be illegal versions of win7 out there that can take updates, with the risk of beeing detected and sued by MS)
So be careful when downloading whatever you find, even here on xda.
Buy win8, it isnt that expensive...

Windows pre-activated or "activated" with windows loader, are able to update and they give no problems. Same with office. We just need to download official trial and convert it into pro.

There's an app called Airstream
Install Airstream server on your device and the Airstream app on your friends device... And if both of you are on the same wifi network your friend could stream off ur phone or even copy Contents from your phone.

Maybe you are doing something wrong
Install Airstream server app from playstore on phone 1
Airstream app from the playstore on phone 2
Turn on server on phone 1
Stream using the app from phone 2.
Simple as that

I have Netflix installed on my phone but it doesn't show a chromecast button. Can it be done from within the app or just from Netflix on a comp?

Both. Do you have the chromecast app installed?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I believe you need the Chromecast app installed on your phone to get the Cast icons to show up in Netflix and other supported apps.
You do NOT need the chromecast app, but your chromecast does have to be setup and powered up. Should say ready to cast on the TV if you switch to that input.
works peachy for me right out of the box. The chromecast app does nothing but allow you to set it the device, find WiFi etc...

I have the chromecast app installed on my phone. Youtube works just fine and netflix works fine from the desktop. I just dont see the icon in netflix from my phone. Unless the chromecast needs to be turned on first?
as soon as I open Netflix from my phone, the little icon to send it to my chromecast appears right away, but mine is turned on all the time .... Have you checked for updates? Otherwise I really dont have an answer aside from try turning it on first then launching Netflix

I could be wrong but how is it supposed to detect the chromecast if it's turned off? I would definitely assume it needs to be on.
Yep that was it. Had to have the input set to the chromecast for the button to show. Didn't know that.

No Chromecast Button On Netflix
I have the most recent version of Netflix installed on my LG Optimus L9 (P769) running JB 4.1.2. I don't have the Chromecast button, but I do have one for YouTube. My older Optimus V is running the same version of Netflix on either GB or ICS and it displays the Chromecast button. The Netflix layout is different between the 2 phones as well.

Both devices are on the same network. Both have the Chromecast app installed and can see the Chromecast device. The newer phone can cast to YouTube and Google Play (not Netflix) and the older device can cast to both YouTube and Netflix.
Netflix Troubleshooting Transcript
Sorry if it's a bit long. Scroll down to the bolded text.
Keith
Thank you for contacting Netflix customer support.
Here is the transcript from your recent chat with customer support:
Netflix Joe
Awesome. Nice to meet you, Keith. How can I help?
You
I cannot get my Android phone to display the Chromecast button
Netflix Joe
Oh no, that definitely doesn't sound liek a fun thing to be dealing with. What kind of phone is it?
You
It is a LG Optimus L9 (P769) running Android Jelly Bean v4.1.2
You
I have the newest Netflix application installed
Netflix Joe
Awesome. Thanks for that info.
Netflix Joe
Just one sec while I dig up some info for us.
Netflix Joe
So Keith, is that chromecast and your phone on the same Network? We've got a troubleshooting article here Click Here for the article but it says the chromecast and the phone have to be on the same wifi network in order to communicate.
You
I also wanted to let you know that I have an older LG phone running an earlier version of Android and it works perfect with Chromecast and Netflix
You
I've read that article already as well
Netflix Joe
OK, cool. Glad to know your older phone is working.
You
The Netflix layout on the two phones is entirely different even though they are both on the same version of the Netflix app.
Netflix Joe
Yeah, the app varies from device to device based on the system specs of the device. It sort of optimizes itself.
Netflix Joe
So the phone and the chromecast are hooked up to the same wifi network?
You
they are on the same network. The phone that doesn't have the Chromecast button for Netflix does have the Chromecast button for both YouTube and Google Play Music
Netflix Joe
Good to know. Just a sec while I reach out to our research team about this.
I got them on the line now.
Netflix Joe
OK, they're asking to uninstall and reinstall the netflix app on the phone that isn't working.
You
about to do that now
Netflix Joe
Great, thanks.
Netflix Joe
Also are you able to download the chromecast app on that phone?
You
app is uninstalled, data and cache is cleared..about to reinstall...chromecast app is installed and operational on the phone
Netflix Joe
Awesome
You
app is reinstalled
Netflix Joe
Sweet, go ahead and try it again.
You
no chromecast button
Netflix Joe
OK, go ahead and go in the netflix app and scroll down to the bottom and get the version please.
You
chromecast app sees the chromecast device
You
2.4.0-216~40 [US/en-US]
Netflix Joe
OK, thanks.
Netflix Joe
And just to make sure, you are checking both the upper and lower right side of the screen for the cast button right? Kind of a silly question I know but just want to cover bases.
You
Yes, I have checked all corners
Netflix Joe
Cool, so they told me that they've seen this issue with a few LG phones and it's something with the phone not being read right by our system so they're looking into it right now to get it fixed and it should be working with your phone in the near future, they just added it to our tracker but the good news is one of your phone still works with the Chromecast right now and soon both will.
You
ok, thanks for letting me know that
Netflix Joe
Sure, no problem. Thanks for reporting the issue with us. Anytime there's a new device like this that comes out it takes a bit to work out the kinks and people like you really help speed that process along.
You
I understand. The device was only made available for sale on Wednesday, and I'm sure that you haven't been able to test every model of phone combined with every version of the OS
Netflix Joe
Yeah, for sure. Well can I help with anything else today Keith? It'd be a pleasure!

Hi you guys..I was having the same problem with a Droid Bionic, and I just wanted to let you guys know, I have a workaround/fix so you can get Chromecast working with the Netflix app working NOW instead of waiting for Netlifx to deal with it.

Let me know if it works out! Cheers.
Hey guys, sorry if this is in the wrong section. I purchased a couple of Chromecast devices but live in a country where Netflix isn't currently available. I have the 3 months free Netflix codes if anyone wants them?

Sorry that should have read Orbot (my spell checker changed it). Its basically an app that allows you to connect to a proxy. In order to use it download it run it go into settings and change the last exit node and enter:
{us}
This tricks the real player install into thinking you're in the US and should allow you to get it working. But to be honest as soon as I discovered Avia I gave up on real player. Real player at the time was only allowing you to cast stuff for a limited period of time, not sure if this is still the case? Oh and I think Orbot is pretty useless unless your rooted.

I suppose it is not as convenient, but you can always download the content from your pc to cast it directly from your phone with Plex. But it is a different solution, i have all of my content stored on my pc, so i use my phone only as a remote. Hope Avia adds the function to play subtitles.

Does anyone else have a problem casting from the fire tablet? I've installed all necessary Google services and the playstore. They've updated automatically. I can cast using YouTube and Showtime Anytime with no problems since I am able to see my Chromecast devices when connecting. For some reason I cannot see my Chromecast devices when trying to cast from Netflix or HBO Go. I've reinstalled these apps but still not working. The Chromecast app is able to see the devices and connect to them with no problems.
