I'm angry I did t keep root granted. But it feels like I'm just out of luck now...
Is there no hope for a 1330 root

I feel your pain.
To be honest, I think the folks in other countries are in a slightly worse boat. At least US users of non-rooted Chromecasts still have all the stock apps including HBO Go and Pandora. Seems like the folks in Canada are having trouble even with those.
If we're lucky there will be a nice Christmas (or pre-Christmas) present from Google...

I'd say that's definitely gonna be the case, especially since Google is conducting their Google Cast SDK "Hackathon" on Dec. 7-8th. I'd say the SDK will be released either at that time or less than a week after. My bet is that it will be officially released immediately following that event though.
Just bought one today and was really disappointed to find out it's not rootable because it's the new firmware. Hoping there's a fix soon..

Yeah since I'm outside the US and have an unrootable Chromecast I had to buy a new wireless router just so I could use DD-WRT to get around the Chromecast's built-in Google DNS and access the US Netflix library. But on the bright side it's a damn good router even without the Chromecast :laugh:
Same prob here, I was in a rush to try it out, I forgot to check xda first. The device is currently just lying in the drawer as I hardly use it since I live in Singapore so I got no netflix, just YT lol
Is it possible to play videos on websites based on flash in cc? Or is it possible with root? What i really want to know is do flash videos play? Thanks a bunch.

Yes, if done via the Cast extension for Chrome, but this does on-the-fly transcoding (decode/re-encode) on your computer so it needs some CPU horsepower.
Chromecast cannot natively play Flash, rooted or not.

Yeah mine was a 3a as well, I didn't even try to root it after reading this. Plus my otg is unpowered. Figured I can look for a older one and just buy another since they are cheap and try again or just hope with the release of sdk....

Yes I use TV Shows stream as well and its quite awesome although a tad expensive but at least its only a one time fee. Definitely give it a look. Tons of shows to choose from. I use it every day on my tab both with and without my HDMI dock.
T-Mobile tab running latest Overcome
The tv shows stream app is amazing. The quality of the videos varies but the sheer amount of shows available makes up for it.
I've been doing some research and just looking into it I have the leaked app but not streaming I'm able to move my que and all that good jazz but my question is how exactly is netflix blocking streaming from my Droid and letting streaming on Windows 7 phone and the iPhone...Verizon has both on their network.

DRM in the hardware. The LG Revolution will have NetFlix which supports said DRM. We have the same processor as that phone so hopefully NetFlix adds support for the Thunderbolt.

As far as I know the leaked netflix app that was announced a few weeks ago doesn't work on the Tbolt.
Oh well. There isn't any other app that I am aware of and I've been an Android girl for over a year now.. So I think you might be out of luck. There is a website though that is java enabled that I use to be able to watch movies through my phone. Hope that eases a bit of the frustration Netflix is causing by not providing an app yet for us
The website name is veetle dot com & I also love LOVE the TV Stream app. That works wonders for me. Hope this helps

Correct, it doesn't work on the TB right now... But it doesn't work on any other phone either at this moment. That's because it is assumed that Netflix hasn't yet "flipped the switch" to turn it on since it's not yet ready for primetime (the .apk itself was prematurely pulled from an upcoming LG ROM dump) and has not yet been 'officially' released from Netflix.
The Bolt has the same processor as the upcoming LG device that is confirmed to support Netflix. As such, it is presumed that the Bolt has the same DRM keys to allow for streaming. It's just a matter of Netflix enabling streaming to the app on their end
From what I understand from one of our reps, is that there is a going to be a netflix streaming app working on Verizon soon, they are waiting for a specific phone to launch it.
can't wait!
So do we know maybe an ETA on when we can expect to see it go live?

Probably around the time the LG Revolution drops (since it is likely the phone that is slated to "launch" the Netflix app), which is scheduled for a Q2 release
That is correct, will first launch on the Revolution. You guys don't have to much longer to wait

Personally I am loving Firefox, infinitely better then those when it comes to browsing experience (smoothness plus pinch zoom).
Also u can install the plug in 'full screen' to play older Flash in full screen (if u try to go full screen, the browser will crash on older flash videos) so u still get the full screen effect

No. They didn't. Adobe announced it well before the preorder. They announced it in November 2011. On 6/29, they made it official that it would not be avaible for 4.1.
Thanks for all suggestion!
It is 7 inch tablet but surely it is smaller with all the buttons on the screen. I love the stock browser because the full screen browsing with the quick control. I know I can get the flash to work but not full functional like the 4.0 does. thats what I'm complaining. I wished the tablet has the original android stock browser and full flash support, it would be better than now.
otherwise, everything is just great.

if it wasn't for the netflix credit and the fact i had to use up $5 bb reward, i don't think i'd have gotten the chromcast since i already have a google tv, roku, segate live tv, and wdtv. the only one i really use is the sony google tv on my projector.

Assuming you are talking about streaming from plex, not the internet, the content is on your laptop right? So get a N WAP or an N router, plug it in in your camper and join its wireless network with both your chromecast and laptop. You won't be able to get to the internet, obviously, but they can then see each other which is the goal, right?

Why would you need a VPN? Basically you would be setting up your own wireless network which you can use normal security settings and the only devices on it would be yours. The only downside is you will not have access to the internet.
I too would love to see Plex support asap, though It appears the original article was a little generous with their "fall" estimate. Still no official word. But the Plex devs usually keep a pretty tight lid on things until they're ready (or able, if Google has them holding it) to release new features.
Release could be hours away, it could be months away. I just know I'll be thrilled when it does arrive.
Thankfully, I can be pretty patient. And having some free Netflix in the meantime doesn't hurt.

Just found an app called Localcast and decided to give it a try. It's available on the Pay Store and it's free. No invasive permissions and it works quite well. Larger photos take a few extra seconds and some videos have some stutter, but over all it's working nicely. I'm sharing this on a couple of sites because I think it's great for getting better use out of our ChromeCast.

It's all good though, I've just installed Shibby's Tomato on one of my routers along with a 3rd party script, and now I have no more ads!
