Anyone know of any alternative right now to send URL to chromecast? The website http://googlecast.github.io/cast-chrome/ no longer work, I have the full HTML coding and scripts but I can't get it to work locally either. I guess I am not whitelisted. Anyone know of any alternative that work right now? I am sure some of you guys have use this method in the past few days.

I hope that you can do something with it. I tried to whitelist my chromeextension (but I didn't do the chromecast), I created my local HTML server, I tried changing code.... can't do anything. I hope you have more luck.
When I pass my test in the next 2 weeks (if the SDK is not release by then), then I will try to learn how to build an android app. The DIAL protocol seems to hold promise as it doesn't reply on the Google SDK

Had the same issue as you. simply dropped it on my webserver and got No Cast API is detected message when the page loads. Did you get past that?
Got It!
Ok guys,
I too had saved the source files from the googlecast github page. In order to get it working there are a couple of simple things that need to be done. You will need to run your own webserver to host the github page. Download the mongoose server application and drop it in the same folder that you have the GoogleCast folder in. Then run the application and go to localhost:8080 in your browser.
The other step for this is to whitelist your local server with the chromecast chrome extension. To do this right click on the Chromecast icon in chrome and select options. Then open the developer tools by pressing f12. Once in the developer tools click ctrl+f to open the search. Search for Developer Settings and you should see this line above <section ng-show="doubleClicks > 1" style="display: none;"> You need to remove the style="display: none;" from here by double clicking on display: and hitting delete. Then close the developer tools and you should see the option to Cast Additional Domains with a textbox. Type localhost and click Add; then type your computer's IP address and click add.
These are the steps I used to get this page working from my local machine. I do not have a whitelisted chromecast and this is working for local video files and vimeo etc..

Thank You!!!, that was what I was trying, but I was putting in localhost:8080 instead of localhost. and you don't need to go to developer tools. all you need to do is enable developer options by checking the checkbox at the top right corner at this url chrome://extensions/
then go into the chromecast extension options and click the blue icon at the top left 4 times, then it will tell you to enter the url at the bottom.

Also with the local HTML server, I can now stream local video too. By input in my IP address and the video file name. IE a less elegant Koushik Dutta, but still works. Please Google let us have this back way until something official come out. Thank you all.
Also Mongoose is a really quick and dirty way of doing a local HTML server.
I edited the html/javascript and created a script to make this easier.

Name: Subnet Calculator
Hi Everyone,
Inspired by a request from Omega Ra, I decided to get my feet wet with WP7 development and build a Subnet Calculator application.
The app itself is pretty simple. You enter an ip address, and it will calculate the Network Id, Broadcast Address, and Min/Max host addresses for the configured subnet. Changing any of the settings will update the values. Here's a bullet point list of features:
Two Modes - switch between a classful and classless calculator by swiping left/right. The application implements Microsoft's Pivot control.
Flexibility - provides a selection of configuration options using the subnet mask, mask bits, subnet bits, hosts available per subnet, maximum available subnets, and the ip address.
Email - send your configuration to yourself quickly and easily.
List all subnets - for the classful calculator, you can view the list of all possible subnets.
ToDo:
Make the IP Address easier to edit/manipulate. I'm thinking of enlarging the TextBox once you click on it, that way you'll be able to select parts of the address easier.
Sexify the overall appearance
I'm open to any feedback/suggestions you all may have.
Credits/Thanks
I borrowed heavily from this online tool
Thanks to Omega Ra for the idea
!!!UPDATE!!!
Application is now available in the marketplace, please get it through there and comment if you want to show some support, but the xap will always remain available and updated on this thread
To install on your phone just rename the file from SubnetCalculator.zip to SubnetCalculator.xap
Please see the WP7 Hacking for Beginners thread for further information on how to sideload an xap.
this is the one im looking for a very long time.. i hope you make one for android
nice, it has it's own thread and thanks for the props Looking great so far!
The only other thing I can think of that might be useful would be a button that will show you the subnet address ranges (in the advanced ip calculator I linked to once you put in the address and click the magnifying glass you will see what I mean.) Other than that this is awesome!

just out of curiosity, how is this coming along? is it going to hit the marketplace soon? So far there are no IP calculators on there, though there is one hexidecimal one.
Any progress??? there is now a subnet calc up on the marketplace...though yours looks better, it looks fairly functional...
I guess development on this has stopped?

Great app! Thanks!
Thanks everyone! My app was rejected from the marketplace for failing to display the app version and technical contact information :'( So I should have an update pretty soon that amends this. I also took the chance to add a couple features and clean things up. The app now recovers state properly and you can send out an email with the configuration settings. I added an app bar that you can use to navigate between the prev/next subnets, so you no longer click on min/max host ips.
I'm working on getting a view of all available subnets in the mix as well, just have to figure out how best to display it
Any chance you can upload the new version as a XAP too to let us play with it while you wait for market approval?
New version is up

I recently published my ReelPortal video chat/conference software for Android 2.2 (using Adobe AIR 2.5) at the AppsLib market:
http://appslib.com/applications/app.html?ida=31520
I don't have a G Tablet, but would like to compile a list of devices that the app works on. So I'm looking for testers out there.
Please provide feedback if you try it. Thanks.
For more info on testing, please visit www.ReelPortal.com.
I just added another version reelportalX.apk (version 1.0.1). This version is working fine now. I suggest using it instead of the older one.
You must get Adobe AIR 2.5.1 from Android Market, or you can download the Adobe AIR SDK (http://www.adobe.com/products/air/sdk/), and get it in subdirectory runtimes\air\android\emulator, or runtimes\air\android\device. I found that Adobe doesn't allow posting the AIR apk on a website. Note: don't use the AIR link in post #6.
If you want to test chat with other folks around the world, please join the "xda" room (all lower case). Capacity is limited .
firewater2003:
Install Adobe Air 2.5.1 from here: http://download.pandaapp.com/?app=soft&controller=android&action=show&f_id=2291
Beware of TNT dashboard:
MoonPops: I kept getting the black screen while starting up ReelPortal in the TNT dashboard home, but it works fine in the Android Home Classic screen interface.
Firmwares that were confirmed to work:
Stock TNT 3588 (do NOT use TNT dashboard)
TnT 4.1.0
TNT lite 5.01
VEGAn-TAB-v1.0.0B5.1
can not find adobe air in market... running tnt 3.1.2
when I launch reelportal app, it get a blank screen
I did find adobe air 2.5 and installed it from another source.
I installed Adobe Air and your. apk and everything installed fine. Web cam and interface came up and seems to work fine. Only problem is, I don't have anyone to chat with, so I don't know how well that works......lol.
worked between my Droid 1 and my Gtablet.

Hi,
I found this:
http://reelportal.blogspot.com/
Is this your website?
If I'm understanding how this works (when it works), these chats go through your chat server, and the way that we would do one-to-one video chats would basically to "join" a chat on your chat server?
Thanks,
Jim
Installed air and reelportal. Just a black screen for me too, running TnT lite 3.1.3

Yes, that's my "readme" page for my ReelPortal dot com site. Sorry I'm not allowed to post any links .
You are correct on the server. It routes the data from the clients to each other. However, the clients can also do peer-2-peer with each other (this is the default mode). When first started, the clients all connect to my server to sign on. The server checks for name conflict and room availability, and authorizes the session. If you are in a room, the server connects you to all the clients in the room automatically. Of course, you can call individual person if you know their name(nick). You can also disconnect from any client you want.
In p2p mode, all video/audio traffic goes directly from client to client(s). The server doesn't have to process it. If you select client/server mode, then the server receives your stream and distribute it to all subscribing clients. This lessen your uplink bandwidth if you have multiple subscribers.
The next version will allow you to specify your own server. And yes, you can run your own server on linux, windows, or macOS. And perhaps other platforms too, if you are inclined to do so. An older server version is currently available from my download page, but I will release the newer version in conjunction with the next client.

To test, you can actually call yourself . Once connected, press button 7 (P2P), and select "Send to Server" mode. Then, press one of the "blue head" on the right, then press the ">" button on the dialog. A list will appear, and your nickname is the always the first one on the list. Click it, and you should see your own stream feeding back to you. Basically:
Your video ----> Server -----> Your device
Or if you have a computer, just run the web client on your computer, join the same room on both devices, or call the other's nick to establish connection. Hope that helps.

If it's a blank white screen, then perhaps it's not finding the server. Is your internet connection available or slow? Ideally, I should have some status indicator to be a bit more user friendly.
I also tried the adobe air file posted here, but reelportal apk only opens to a blank screen still. What are we doing wrong?

I ran a brief loopback test under low 4g in Philadelphia. Performance looked good but I was unable to select front camera on EVO. I will play with this some more but front camera access is a must.

Thanks. Apparently, the front camera can't be access at this time . I googled this:
"AIR does not currently support the front camera.
In fact, the Android OS does not natively support the front camera. The device manufacturer provides a separate Java library that makes the camera available to Java apps."
I wonder if Android 2.3 supports multiple cams.
Also, is the front camera access problem the same for all tablet devices? Or is it device dependent?
To answer my own question: android 2.3 supports multiple cameras.

So, I figured that I would post a confirmation that states that while using my NC and PrinterShare from the market I can print documents over my WiFi connection at home!
I was not sure if this would work, and it took the NC a bit to see the WiFi printer, but it works. I am going to purchase the full version now that I know that it works.
This NC gets cooler and cooler, day after day!
I am wondering if something can develop a way to auto-print documents that have been waiting in a queue. For example if I am at work, select 4 documents that need printing, and then the NC would send them to the printer once I connect to my home WiFi?
There is a hack that can send documents from any device to any online printer.
It's not too complicated - as long as both are linked to the same Dropbox account. You would just need to install a script in your Dropbox, then any documents you want to print would be uploaded to that folder.
I don't have the link (sorry) but I'll look for it... I'll post it when I find it .-)
Ok - found it... I think it might be windows only.
(These are just links that I've found... All credit goes to the original author)
First, you need a dropbox account. You would need to have it linked to your Nook and your computer with a printer.
If you don't already have one, feel free to use my link: http://db.tt/1lAXHf7
(There's all sorts of other things you can do with Dropbox, but this is one of the better ones for the Nook... as far as I can tell)
Here's the link to show you how to install the script:
http://www.labnol.org/internet/print-from-mobile-phones/17827/
I attached the zip file with the script, hope it helps!
This works (dropbox option). Just printed a document. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, the application works for me, I opted for the wrz version.
The dropbox version works for mac and linux too, you just need the script. I can not find the link now but I Googled dropbox printing and found a page that links to the mac and linux scripts. I tried the linux one.
thanks for the dropbox method it worked.
u can find the mac script here http://www.labnol.org/tech/print-files-on-remote-mac/17838/. and the linux script here http://www.labnol.org/software/print-files-on-linux/17841/

I was wondering if you or anyone could help me troubleshoot my setup. I have a brother mfc-j270w that is listed as a supported device on the printershare home page. I also have a rooted nc with no overclock and only modified location service files. It will see the printer and even show that the printing has been spooled and completed. The printer shows receiving the job, feeds the paper, but prints nothing.
I would assume that the printer firmware isn't compatible with the printershare drivers, but I've ran the same test from my Droid 2 and it works like a charm.
Any ideas?

Ok, so I think I've figured it out. It had to have been an IP address conflict. I set the printer to a static IP address and it seems to be working fine now. Also, the setup I'm striving for involves networking through wireless tether on my Droid 2. I have to make sure that I connect the nc immediately after starting the wireless tether app so that su is still active. For some reason, the su permissions seem to time out after a bit, but it never causes any interruption in wifi service. I can also get it to refresh the su permission and allow the nc to connect just by turning the screen back on. Is this normal?

The fact that the su privilege seems to come back when the screen is turned back on makes me think it may have something to do with the Superuser app being cached/inactive by Android (after some inactivity)?
You could check the Superuser Log and see if it shows another "allowed" entry after waking the screen?
Just throwing out ideas.

I see. So, I have no choice but to root my phone to use the proxy....
Previously I used the Firefox mobile browser to bypass proxy settings. However, the only application you can use on your phone is the Firefox browser itself.
# Run Firefox, and in address bar type: about:config. This will take you to the advanced configuration panel.
# Now you need to find proxy entries, to simplify that you can filter it out by typing proxy in the field below address bar.
# Modify network.proxy.http and network.proxy.http_port to your proxy server and port.
# Set network.proxy.type value to 1.
I am not sure if this still works but give it a try.

Yeah... or as madballs (lol) posted, you can try the Firefox beta. But keep in mind, on Firefox will work... no other data services on the phone will.
It is kind of crappy they don't support it, especially when there are other roms out there that have this little function added in.
LOL, I was surprised nobody has taken this name when I registered.
I really cant understand ,, if they could add proxy settings to the browsers without rooting,,
why don't the developers add it in their apps?!?!
Go to the wifi settings there push the menu button and select advanced.
now you have a list within you can set your proxy settings over the current wifi connection.
I have tested it with my DHD at work. works perfect but hope they will connect to the same concept for proxy as by android 3.2.
There you can configure a proxy for each connection.

You didn't provide important info - are you on stock MIUI and are you using any ad blocker?
If you do, then whitelist:.
http://connect.rom.miui.com/
Every time you want to login to a hotspot, MIUI wants to post something to the given site.
We could only guess what kind of info it takes from the phone and sends to China
i used the workaround to go to browser manually and typed 1.1.1.1
that worked in 95% of the cases

If you don't have an ad-block (e.g. dns66 does not require root) and you're not using private DNS, then access to http://connect.rom.miui.com
should be allowed
Try to open manually (in browser) that address from the phone, compare when you are opening from a PC
If it opens, you will see Welcome to nginx as on the screenshot.
However, it can be that ISP or something on the Net blocks the access

I may be a bit slow here but I dont see how this would fix the problem that I am not forwarded to the corresponding login page.

Please try and we will see then if your problem is caused by connect.rom.miui.com being blocked
Stock MIUI wants to go 'home' to post some data (we don't know what data and what they do with, so IT IS scare) every time right before going for the loging page for hotspots
Of course, if you don't want to allow posting the data to its server, you keep their server site blocked, but you will not be able to open hotspot login pages from MIUI stock

Read yourself the screenshots you posted.
See connect.rom.miui.com and read the previous posts
You should solve yourself by either:
a) disable all adblockers you have, it might be also that your private DNS is blocking the access
Or
b) if you have the ad-blocker like AdAway, DNS66, Blokada or so, whitelist connect.rom.miui.com
You should be able to open the 'page' https://connect.rom.miui.com
See the whitelist screenshot from AdAway
---
But on the other side, be aware that apparently your Xiaomi phone always posts 'some data' to that server
For that reason people who maintain hosts sources for adblockers, put that domain to be blocked
Hence it's up to you, you either want to protect yourself from the phone sending 'some data' (who knows what) to that server - and not being able to connect to the public WiFi access like yours
Or
Allow access and don't care about what data your phone sends every time
Or
Buy another phone, not MIUI, or unlock Bootloader and install some custom ROM instead of the stock MIUI
