Download Chromecast app from Play store UK. YouTube and Play music work fine from today with no mods required. Chromecast rescued from the bin!
Update: only works on my Nexus 4 hotspot not on my BT HomeHub4

So since my new note won't stay connected to a WIFI network I'm unable to stream any TV or movies, which is my main source of media. So I decided to download some of my movies from play store to watch offline, but when I try to play them it tells me I can't because I don't have a network connection (it will play over plentiful 4G but who wants to pay for that).
So my question is if I have already downloaded the movie why must I then still be connected to the Internet to play it?

I found this movietube and it plays videos through youtube that aren't easy to find or in some cases these videos do not play on standard youtube, newly released movies in hd such as Last Vegas and many more that the app finds, with movietube they work and then you can use the share video feature with sempervidlinkfree or sempervidlink pro and that grabs the url in a way that allows bubbleupnp ---- Full Version to use it where you can pass it to Avia with in app purchase or possiblyAllcast----->PremiumVersion I haven't tried yet but I believe that sempervidlink+bubbleupnp is capable working with many more apps that don't directly cast.
another possibilty might be for movietube-->sempervidlink-->plex
I have only tested this with Avia as the app to cast so Plex/Allcast may or may not work.

I tried this with daileymotion and it did not work on first pass, so in the place where the video is shared with sempervidlink I just used Vget and set the playerin options to bubbleupnp and that played through Avia.
Vget also has a chrome extension that requires this dlna cast chrome app and I originally believed that it would cast to chromecast as it showed the cast icon and but until trying it just now to verify that worked it does not.
Showbox + Avia Ive found is the best way currently to watch stuff. Another plus is that it can all be done right from a Android device.

Sometimes showbox doesn't work, and I was just posting a way I found for it to work. It seems like a combination of apps make it possible to play videos from almost any app that can share the url of the video being played if it is correct format.
Anyone know where Showbox takes its stuff from?
Probably South Korea

Wow!
Cool!
Now all we need is the ability to cast external subtitles along with the movie!

I started wolf of wall street & hunger games and in the network tracking app show box was connecting to various Russian sites, one of them appeared to be their version of Facebook. Vk.me
VM.me may not be Russian but Google translate said it was...
@Show Box 2.3 .apk

I took my old dell laptop installed ubuntu and plex server. changed the settings to always keep on. installed RealVNC so that I can login from my current laptop.
showbox app to watch movies by using external player .. selecting allcast/avia and streaming to TV
Avia app -> add media > showing my plex server and all my movies are right there
Chrome browser -> casting tab -> was able to watch even australian open live with it
got some play credit smh and purchased classics in google play movies and able to watch 1080p in TV
when got bored, youtube, vevo, play music to chromecast
life getting awesome!!!
New App (needs Avia)
This may or may not be new but I only stumbled on it today.
Like Showbox (worse UI although not unacceptable) BUT with UK Tv shows thrown in as well.
MovieDroid on the playstore
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lowlevel.moviedroid&hl=en_GB
You are welcomez.
:fingers-crossed:
Keep a look out for Tv Portal. Much like MovieDroid it's hit or miss on the mp4 format; however, I've peeped out their 2.0 version (which is in beta and has zero functionality). Once released, tv portal will rank up there, maybe even surpass, showbox (current epic app ever).
Try amazon app store or SlideMe Marketplace.
Please be careful about posting about services that violate copyright rules such as showbox and moviebox. If they are providing paid content for free, then you really shouldn't post on xda.
Thanks!
Anyone that has this, can you explain what is and is not possible with google play music? Can you play and switch between specific radio stations that are in my library? Can you also select and switch between existing playlists that in my library? Can you thumbs up and thumbs down songs?
If you have a rooted device, you can try my Headunit app in standalone mode and see for yourself.
Or two devices USB OTG connected...

I've got it running in my '15 Sonata. Yes, you can do all of the things you asked about. I was never much of a fan of Google Play Music, until now.
Picked up my Sonata today. Everything seems to work well except some of the Google Play Music radio station functionality is a mess. When I select Google Play Music radio stations on the Sonata there is a list of radio stations. Some of them are my stations from my phone and they play fine. Others are stations that I don't have on my phone and when I try to play them it says Google Play Music is not working correctly or something similar. Other than that it seems to work great.

Yeah it's kind of basic for now. Android Auto is pretty much a beta product. I'm looking forward to future updates and improved functionality. Still love using it, though!
I noticed I get the icon to mirror my phone to my LG tv immediately when I'm using my youtube app but not when I play a movie with the stock video player. Is there a video app that has built in Miracast? I'll try VLC since it mentions Miracast and see when I get home.

Native miracast is hit and miss as Google seems to have coded it to not fully work as to move users to Chromecast. Try LocalCast on playstore and play with the settings to see if that works.
I personally have never been able to cast successfully on my N6. I caved in and bought a Chromecast lol
I'll probably get a roku and I think it can cast to it but it might need a casting app for the roku and for the phone
