Casting Stops When Screen Off - Google Chromecast

Does anybody know why my tablet will always stop casting about 1 minute after the screen turns off? I thought it might be Wi-Fi sleep but it's disabled. I thought it might be Wi-Fi optimization but that's off. I've tested Pandora, Viki, and Songza so far. My phone does not have this issue and they have similar Wi-Fi profiles. I'm clueless.

I can't figure out for the life of me why this is happening. No issues on my phone but yes on the Nexus 7. I even wiped and flashed stock rooted OTA.

This program is a hot mess. Serious instability problems. Great idea, poor execution.
Hopefully they know about this

It's not just Songza but also Viki and Pandora. I have no issues with my other devices: HTC One, GS4, and iPad.

It quits working on my MotoHD as well. So, maybe it could be a problem with AOSP roms?
Edit:I emailed the dev.

Hi there,
Thanks for writing in. This is a known issue that we are working to correct. Currently, the chromecast device has to check in with the phone to find out which song to play next. It turns out that chromecast is not built to handle this, so we are working on an implementation where the chromecast device can retrieve the next song without communicating with the phone. This is a significant change but we hope to have it out before too long.
For the time being, the best thing to do for maximum reliability is keep the app open in the foreground and the phone unlocked. We apologize for these current constraints and assure you that the constraints will go away once we move forward with the other implementation.
Thanks so much for your patience as we work to resolve this issue.
All the best,
Jordan

Here is the reply I got

Yea except I don't have the problem with my HTC One. My phone is left untouched for an hour and the music still keeps going. So his response is not 100% accurate in my opinion.

My guess is they are not doing this correctly...
If I'm not mistaken the best way to do what they are doing is to have the app send a player that will take control functions from the originating unit but gets everything else directly from the server.
They seem to be sending the audio and using the Phone as the player...
They should move to an indirect stream by sending a player not audio to Chromecast.
The Chromecast is not meant to send communication back just receive communication from the app that started the stream and you do that by sending a player app to the Chromecast that waits for input from the device but plays it's content directly from their servers.
I will point out however that his letter back to you seems to suggest they know this already and are working on it.
They just have to make an HTML5 Player that they can send and work out all the control functions.

That's a pretty big mistake..

Not really though because thats more how Miracast works and the Chromecast is very different.
Easy to see how some Dev could overlook the other better method.
And I'm not 100% sure I am describing it properly above...
I was under the impression that the apps like Netflix, Pandora and YouTube just send the player with a URL string to play and the rest is all done by chromecast. The player that gets sent then only communicates for Command signals.

From the looks of it, they have to revamp the entire system

Yes probably....
I bet the Majority of their support was written with the Advanced version of the SDK and now that they have the Official RC version from the Hackathon it will be easier to code it properly.
Seems a lot of apps who have added support did it this way as well.
The issues is some HAD to because they didn't have a server to work with (Like aVia) but things like Pandora and Songza should have gone the YouTube and Netflix route to streaming.
And if they don't someone else will! LOL So I expect they will figure it out in the end.

Best Browser (for full site experience/Flash)

Hi all,
Before the flaming starts, let me clarify. I love chrome. It's great. Tabbed browsing, chrome to phone and all. However, I enjoy using websites with either streaming content or video on demand. Unfortunately, it seems that Adobe isn't supporting Flash on android 4.0 and higher - and that's their prerogative. This does leave me with a void in my media consumption. Are there any browsers/codecs/something I don't know about which can help solve my internet video problem?
[For example, teamliquid.net]
thanks
Try the browser.apk for AOSP. Even supports flash if installed

Could care less if I get "flamed"....until chrome has a setting for desktop by default and displays full screen it sucks.
Many of the browsers don't work well on the Nexus 7.Aosp browser: can't access its menu (at least the apk I have, and the one on Paul Obriens Rom.
Boat browser (my alltime fav...will have an update soon...but it's not ready). Dolphin Lite seems to be ok..for now just not real quick.

I cant get Dolphin to work flash at all on my Nexus. I installed the flash apk floating around too, but nothing. Does yours work on putlocker? Did you update to the new version of Dolphin that came out yesterday (i think) that disables flash?
I have been using Xscope pro 7 with flash and it works perfect for me, also has a check box for displaying site in desktop mode and it doesnt reset every time you have to reboot.
I've been using xscope or about 3 years now and it download anything I throw at it, the newest iteration is design with the nexus 7 in mind.
Firefox works fine for me with good flash integration. Synched to all my other machines.

You can just google "firefox 14.0.1 apk" (14.0.1 is the latest version).

It isn't really an American thing, it's a "didn't read it before posting" thing. The phrase makes absolutely no sense. I've never heard anyone say "I could care less" in an actual conversation, it's like they know how ridiculous it sounds when they say it, but that same censor doesn't come out when typing.

Coming soon: Chromecast on CM...

Apparently, Koush has built in Chromecast functionality to CM, possibly for future release. Hopefully, similar mods can be made that will do the same for other ROMs...

Game. Changer.
Unless I understand it wrong, none of these 3rd party apps and tweaks are going to work for us (non-developers) until Google starts whitelisting apps. I think each app needs its own specific whitelisted key by Google in order to make an app talk to the Chromecast.

I fell into the same trap; I want to use an old tablet I have laying around as a chromecast receiver. While this isn't that, you kind of buried the lead: media from any app is castable, that is amazing.

The function will be built into CM so you wont have to root the chromecast, now you have to unlock and root your device to install CM so as long as the build you install supports it you should be good to go.
This i want. Streaming netflix and YouTube from my tablet is awesome, but chromecast is pretty limited.
I knew this would happen at some point. Those that don't have a chromecast need to order one now (2-3 month wait). Hopefully this will be released soon.

I don't really get the appeal of this. What's the point of casting something on one android device to another? Why not just play it on that device you are casting too? Of casting to an HDMI stick doesn't make sense, just play the video/ audio on the HDMI stick.
Koush`s chromecast integration is awesome.

From the dev groups discussions at Google, it looked to me that it would be like Miracast but not.
Iow, they aren't making the Chromecast a Miracast receiver, they're addressing methods in the cast APIs.

I noticed on mine that sometimes my network name and signal strength shows, sometimes it doesn't - no big deal, it's connected for sure, I was just mildly surprised.

SlingPlayer

Anyone else install SlingPlayer out of curiosity? It installs and works well w/ BT tethering. The one thing I cannot seem to change is the app auto-rotates the image 90 degrees, so you have to take the watch off to watch it. Is there an Xposed mod or another way of rotating the image back?

You can set orientation with app settings (xposed module).
Would have never guessed this works well? Which slingbox do you have? I'm very doubtful that the stream would be good enough via BT tethering?

Chromecast adblock

Someone please make an ad block for Chromecast.
I dont think this would be possible if my understanding of how the chromecast works is correct. Once you cast things like youtube, the job of recieving the content is left to the chromecast, so youd need an app that would remove ads then cast that. Otherwise the only thing i could think of is if you made some kind of ad blocking proxy like what DD-WRT does and run your chromecast through that, quitr certain that needs a rooted chromecast though. Of course, an even better solution would be, at least in youtube's case, for google to fix the implementation of ads, at present the skip ad button is shown onthe tv screen, so you are forced to watch the sometimes 5 minute long ads. I may be completely incorrect in saying this, as i said, this is just from my understanding.

All the requests are SSL so you'd need to root your CC and set it to use the proxy. Also apparently YouTube adblock DOES work you just need an old YouTube version, so it would probably be easier to give that a shot as long as you're on with using an old version.

The reason for that is probably due to the fact that those videos are not from partnered channels, unless somethings changed recently ads only show on partnered channels.
