The main reason I started this thread is because I had trouble visiting Google Play without Android automatically opening the app.
To view your account details for Google Play you must click on the link below which will show you your account details, apps, music, books and movies in a list.

Irony, it still opens the play store's front page for me. It's simply set as default.
A good way to open Web pages to services that you permanently linked to an app tho, without clearing defaults, is to open them in a new tab
Is there any way to transfer your books out of the kindle to add them to another account? I really want to create a new Amazon account but of course I don't want to lose all my books. I am rooted if there is any method that way.
Try calibre library program for PC's. You may be able to transfer them off
I have just received my chromecast and it works quite nicely. However some videos cannot be casted from the youtube app on my nexus 7. They are all videos that have been flagged for mature content. For instance some music videos. I get an error saying the video is not available for my tv.
However, I can cast those same videos from my laptop.
Does anyone know whats going on here?

Since Chromecast gets video on its own, there are limits on how the YouTube login gets passed.
Google's support article doesn't seem to mention restrictions on 18+ content, but like I said, what Chromecast can access isn't the same as what a full, normal YouTube login can.

You don't need the App for YouTube to cast to the CCast. Try using the browser and using the Cast button on the Video itself instead of going via the App. This works with both Netflix and YouTube. No need to use Google Cast in a browser or the Android App to send their content to a CCast.
You might have better luck sending the content FROM You Tube than from the App that tells the CCast to go and get that content.Their code is likely to be a bit more up to date on sending than the Apps are.
You say you are casting from a Laptop but did not mention via what method your using so apologies if your already doing it the way I suggested.

I would think an account is an account and the info about that account is stored on the google side. So it should be the same on all devices that use that login.
I would more believe that the player that the Android App sends to retrieve does not have the ability to play 18+ content natively. Or by default has 18+ restrictions set on by default in the app if that was what is going on.

Yeah, I Want to Believe but if the account login seamlessly transferred with the Chromecast handoff somehow, then live events would work, and we wouldn't have those random videos that say "Not available for your TV" (unless perhaps there's some backlog of transcoding required, like when they initially launched the mobile/MP4 site).

On my laptop I am casting directly from the youtube video. I am not casting the tab as I don't have enough CPU.

I think the difference is between how the youtube android app and how youtube on my laptop pass login details. It is the only way the laptop works and the android app doesn't.

Well your account is your account...
Unless your using a different account on the Android App than you are on the Laptop there should be no difference because if Account is important then all anything is telling Yahoo is what the userass is....
It may however be tat the Android app isn't sending or using ANY account at all...
Thats the only way I see account being at fault here.

I agree, I don't believe the youtube app is providing authentication. I am using the same login. I hope they fix this.
Just in case anyone is interested. I know you can use YouTube, but there are more flexibilty with Viral. You can set specific resolution for the videos. And you can log in using web login so you only your YouTube account is logged into the app, instead of having to log your Google account into the entire phone.
There are some bugs in this early Chromecast version though.

go to this link and log in with your german account. Then you can switch between flash and silverlight.

Which doesn't help you out in any way, since you can not use amazon.com with an amazon.de account. Of course you could login
but your prime subscription is not valid for amazon.com.
So, for now, there's no good way to cast amazon instant video to your tv.
Cheers
