Great find thanks for sharing!! This is really nice when there is nothing to watch on my slingbox!!

Works great. Thanks

Started out fine but I had issues with audio and video sync (granted I only tried one program, Dexter S01E01, but had to do it multiple times as it hung up buffering three times). I was using my bluetooth headphones (RocketFish); perhaps that pooched it.
I want it to work so I will wait a little while before purchasing the pro version but it certainly will make the treadmill more interesting. My wifi signal was strong (sitting three feet from router/access point) and my cable ISP connection is very, very good. So it probably was all these G-Tablet folks hitting the Megaload servers.

I like the v2.1 better.....

Has anyone upgraded to the premium version?
Just wondering... I was testing it out and got a message regarding having to upgrade to a premium account in order to watch more than 72 consecutive minutes. The premium doesn't come cheap and appears to stream possible pirated copies of shows?? Just wondering what the fallout of subscribing to this type of service might be.
Thanks in advance for feedback.
PS: I have had some synch issues but the video quality had been good and fits the gtab well.

Hi,
The aplication does not require a subscription.
Megavideo links can be played 72 min, and after you have to wait 30 min for watching more if you are not premium of megavideo. This is the way that megavideo works.
You can use Karambavidz and Frogmovz links without time limitation. You dont need any kind of subscription for using this aplication properly.

and version 2.4.2 is out now, check the improvements ^^

I can confirm working and streaming well on the paid version. Plays mainly from megavideo servers but has two other servers to get past megavideo limitations
Running vegan 5.1

I bought this too. I think it works very well. I have been buying too much stuff on the web market

are any of the videos working for anyone? every video i've tried just gives me a blank screen. on the latest version.

Same here, downloaded the free version to test out and just get a black screen...

I've tried family guy and breaking bad both episode 1 and both work for me on the latest lite version.

TV Streams uses Flash -- as does MegaVideo, Karamvideo, Frogvideo (the sites it aggregates from)
So you'll definitely need Flash working properly.
Try going to a Flash-heavy site and making sure it works properly there first. You may need to enable plug-ins from within your browser as well (You can do this via the "about:debug" page -- just type it into the browser and go. Bring up the settings and make sure you turn on plug-ins.)
The app is fantastic - best $4 I've spent recently...
Good Luck...

Its weird. I tried the lite version a few weeks ago when I was running tent lite and it worked fine. Now I'm runnung vegan 5.1.1 and the videos start audio only with a black screen and then stop after a few seconds. I did check flash by going to natgeo in the browser and watching a video.
Any thoughts?

[Q] Chromecast update failing

Hi All,
Just picked up a chromecast however I'm having some initial issues with getting it working.
It connected fine to my Wifi network and then goes to update however the update stays on 0% or 1% until it eventually times out.
Is anyone able to provide information around how the updates work for this device? I'm in New Zealand so I'm curious if there's an issue with Google servers not accepting from my location or something.
If anyone could provide any information that would be great, if there's a better place for this post or if I should be easily able to find this (I did try to search everywhere I could) then I'm sorry.
Kind regards,
Kyo

Same here +1
would appreciate a reply or solution

Got my Chromecast a week ago. It was setup and working/casting without any problem but since yesterday, a message appeared about updating..."Your Chromecast deserves the best...." and the update screen is stuck at 0%. I have restarted routers, chromecast, reset and tried everything, but after setup it gores to update screen and stays at 0% for hours without any progress.
I am using it in Pakistan. Have tried to search online solutions but found nothing, though I have seen some other people having the same problem.
PLEASE HELP and ADVISE how to go about. I have already tried resetting and factory reset etc.

I just opened the box for chromecast today. The setup went fine. As soon as it was connected, it started the update. It gets to 100% and does nothing else. It just stays on that screen. Anyone else experiencing this?

+1 same issue here.Seems to be affecting Pakistani users.
Maybe because youtube is blocked in Pakistan.
Anyway to manually update device ?

So my chromecast started updating itself a day later, well I never saw it updating but it did. (didn't change anything so not sure why it wasn't working).
Good luck to those others who have the issue.

Any update on this? I'm having the same issue... purchased chromecast yesterday and never got it passed the update screen, remains on zero. Even after leaving on overnight!
Talked with Google last night at midnight, very cool support is open 24/7, but they were unable to help. the one thing they did mention is that the router should be within 20 feet of chromecast! Mine is easily double that, but everything else in the same location works fine; xbox, roku, LG G2, Nexus 7 and my Vizio DLNA and smart apps. I can stream on everything but the chromecast.
Is the chromecast really that weak?
Help?

Don't think so.
Since your TV has DLNA, you should be able to stream using BubbleUPnP alone providing you also have WiFi on it as well.

Chromecast stuck on 0% updating
I fixed Chromecast stuck on 0% update by rebooting with little button THEN switching the cable box cable to HMI-2. Then plugging Chromecast cable into HMI-1 port on the TV and selecting HMI-1 setting. Chromecast started loading and rebooted itself about 3 times. With-in 6 or 7 minutes it was ready to CAST! Yay finally. It took my 4 hours to figure it out as there were no solutions on the internet blogs.

+1 this! Thank you so much!!

Build 15250 made my chromecast unusable.

So I got a chromecast over the vacations and it was working perfectly. Then yesterday it stopped while I was using it. I tried again to cast anything (youtube and Netflix) and it gives me an error message. I have tried factory reseting it twice, and nothing has changed. I have never rooted it or anything. Does anyone have any ideas?

Can you tell us the error message shown in the application(s)?
Also would help to know your make/model of router.

So of course. I try everything I can think of, then ask here, and the second I post it starts to work again. Thanks for helping me out even if I didn't need it. In case anyone still cares, the error said something like "error sending video to device", and it is an att uverse router.
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk

Hahaha keep an eye on it. If it got a firmware update it might have been something related to UPnP or DHCP as those addresses are cached for a short time by the router. Let us know of it shows up again, otherwise have fun!

So actually this is still a problem. I cannot play more than about 3 minutes of a youtube video without it giving me an error. Netflix still works fine though. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this might be happening?

If you can tell us the make and model number, or point to the manual maybe we can find some probably settings that need adjustment, if the router isn't already listed on Google's known router issues page.
Otherwise, look for options that mention
IGMP
IPv6
Multicast
QoS

I added my mac address to the exception list as per Google instructions for 2 wire routers, but I am too tired to try anything tonight. I will post soon letting you know if it helped.

Same issue. I'm on 15250 with an actiontec c1000a modem. I can see the chromecast on all my devices but its being very erratic.
All this started with "test a" - I queued 2 videos from my phone, played 1 full 3:30 min video, and the 2nd video made the chromecast hang after 30s or so. It was unresponsive to all other devices and apps.
Did a factory reset, set everything up again. I played several videos under 3 mins, then switched devices, then switched to play music - all worked. Then I went back to "test a" and same problem.
edit : turns out it's always 1 video that does the "killing" as such. Prodigy's stand up (labelled "best quality") on YT. I don't want to link to the video really, but can anyone see if the same issue happens to them?

WMM is usually in the Advanced Wireless settings for most routers.

I did what Google said to do on the page you linked for a 2 wire modem, but nothing changed. Do you have any more ideas? It worked fine before the update, but now on YouTube only, it can't play more than about 3 minutes. It is an att uverse router, and I can get the exact model if needed

First try power cycling the router, then Chromecast. If that doesn't help please post model, sounds like something RTSP related maybe.

Couldn't get this to fail, sorry for the delay testing it.

It seems to me that my chromecast just hates these videos. Every other youtube video works fine except this audio book I have been listening to on YouTube. Thanks for all the help anyway.

Screen Mirror Not Working via Google Home (Chromecast)

Anyone having issue unable to screen cast from Google Home to chromecast? It will disconnect immediately upon clicking the screen cast button. There is no issue casting directly from apps such as youtube etc, but I want to mirror cast my screen. It works previously on my S7 Edge and Note 7...
Thanks!

Did it yesterday, it works just fine. Had the same issue you're describing with my S7E occasionally. Would kill the Home app and reboot the Chromecast, then it would start working.

Works for me. After I reset chromecast, but I'm sure it was my flaky CC not the phone?

Hmm I did a factory reset on the Chromecast, still the same problem. I even reinstall the Google Home. It shows "Disconnect" immediately after I click cast screen, damn annoying..

I've been researching this problem for the past week. What i've gathered so far is that some process interferes with mirroring after my phone has been running for a while... If I restart my phone, or chromecast - it works no problems. It also works casting netflix, youtube, etc. I have a samsung TV, and when i try to connect my phone through TV, it also works. I called Chromecast yesterday, thinking that it could be a defective chromecast device, but it works other than the above issue. So I think that some process gets activated some time shortly after phone reboot, and that's why when i press 'cast screen/audio' from Home app, it says 'disconnecting', because some other process is already working... I will be calling Samsung Tech support tonight, to see if they have any clue, although i don't get my hopes up. If their tech support guys are the same as their customer service reps, I won't get far with them.
I also tried any and all settings changes that i could think of, and nothing works. The best solution for me is either to restart my phone prior to mirroring, or just connect from TV to the phone (it works that way), not from phone to TV. If I figure out a solution, I'll try to update. I have a similar thread on Android Central in Note 8 General section that i started Sunday, 10/15/2017. No one seems to know the solution, and not many people have encountered this (you are the first person that i found with the same problem other than myself).
Just found this app by Samsung called "ScreenMirroring Patch", will try out after work: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...patch&hl=en&rdid=com.sec.screenmirroringpatch

My networks are the same - Chromecast and the phone. I had the problem you had previously, it would continuously drop the connection... This isn't the same problem, it just says ' connecting' and never does if i try to mirror my screen through Smart View (in my quick settings panel), or 'disconnecting' if i select 'cast screen/audio' through Home app.

This is the exact problem that I am having and the same resolution that I came to. I literally have to restart my phone every time I go to cast. I've had an issue where I left it casting for a while, but the phone seemed to forget and shut it off. The stream was still going on the Chromecast, but I could not disconnect with my phone via Netflix or through the Home app. After I rebooted, I was able to disconnect through the Home app.
I searched for a bout 10 days after I got my phone and found nothing about this. No answers, not even a mention of anyone else having the issue. I really thought I was the only one.

So I spoke to Samsung + Tech support, and they didn't know what the problem was. They offered for me to send in my device for repairs. I am kind of hesitant since i don't know if that would fix the problem, and it will take 9-11 business day, i don't have a decent phone to use for 2 weeks... He also suggested that it was a software bug, and that i wait for software update. Since we should be getting Oreo by the end of the year (fingers crossed), maybe i just wait until we get an update and see if it's fixed. I did a factory reset on Friday, but didn't check for the issue right away, only after installing all of my apps. Really don't know what to do... Hopeful that someone else discovers the solution - or concrete cause. Oh well... I will never buy directly from Samsung again. Verizon would have sent me a replacement, and I would have it in 2 days, and wouldn't be without a phone for 2 weeks.

I was curious so I tried screen mirroring to my Amazon Fire TV. Tries to connect but fails. My Note 8 will say connecting to Fire TV & my Fire TV will say connecting to Note 8 but it fails & disconnects.
I don't think wifi type has anything to do with it. My Note 5 screen mirrors fine & my Note 5 is connected to 2.4ghz & my Fire Tv is connected to 5ghz.
Tried restarting my Note 8 & even tried connecting it to the 5ghz also, no luck. I never use it but damn, just knowing that it doesn't work is not good for my health!

I recently added an exchange account, and remember a while back some phone options weren't available because they weren't secure enough and not allowed by exchange policy. I removed the account, cleared cache, and restarted the phone. It worked (usually does after a restart),but I'll will check again tomorrow

I did a search (outside of XDA) & it appears that a lot of people are having this problem with the Note 8, S8 also. I tried changing the resolution on both my Note 8 & Fire TV, still no luck for me but some say it worked for them.

Can you link to the other site's discussions? Thanks

My other question is how to disable volume limiter when watching videos - any type, Netflix, showbox? I can disable it for headphones or Bluetooth through sound settings, but not for videos through the phone's speaker. Thanks in advance

I think I spoke too soon . Yesterday it worked all day from the day before, but this morning I tried to connect, and no luck. Oh well... I think it's a software bug. Hopefully they'll fix it in Oreo

P20 Pro Chromecast - Does it work for people?

Hi, I've been trying to chromecast for the last few days. I came from a Nexus 6p which worked 100% with chromecast. If i use the web browser and try to cast from a video channel, it never connects to my chromecast or TV (with chromecast built in). I've tried the mirroring option but it never finds a chromecast. I've downloaded Google Home, that seems to have a bug where i can't login to my google account from my P20 Pro.
I've looked online and on here and haven't seen any other posts on it. It would be good to test. I am on the Dual Sim Three UK 8.1.0.102 (C782) variant.
Thanks

It has worked flawlessly using local cast app.
I've always found Google home glitchy.
Sent from my CLT-L29 using Tapatalk

Works flawlessly for me. I've had the P20 Pro since release and I've never had a problem using a Chromecast, although I did recently factory reset my Chromecast, so that may have fixed any issues.

I use Chromecast several times a day, and haven't noticed anything odd.
I'm using Chrome browser to play web-videos and the Google Home app to mirror the screen.
Haven't used the built-in cast/mirror feature, but that has never worked reliably for me on any device

Thanks all, i wonder what is happening here. Even the Google home app isn't working. It's like an authentication error in the app. Chromecast doesn't connect to either of my chromecast devices. Works fine on my old phone still. I wonder if it's my firmware. I am on .102 which i know is really old. Waiting for Three/Huawei to update...

Chromecast mostly works for me. The only thing that doesn't is volume controls from screen off. Apart from that, and the few normal Chromecast glitches, it works well.

I'm casting NFL Gamepass from my P20 Pro to my Nvidia Shield as I type this, it's worked flawlessly whenever I've tried since I got my phone (mine is also dual SIM from Three).

This works very sporadically for me, often from apps that cast (excluding Netflix and YouTube which have a different mechanism for Chromecast discovery) it's as if the refresh devices button doesn't really trigger a proper refresh.
The Google home app often doesn't show my Chromecasts but if I keep it open and wait maybe 5 minutes they'll eventually show.
Anyone seen anything like this?

I had problem with NBA game time app, it didn't display the cast icon after update of the device to .107 but iwas probably due to the implementation of an old. Chromecast API from NBA app itself. After NBA has updated the app is working perfectly

I streamed YouTube to a chromecast this evening without any problem, worked like expected...

No issues here, sounds more like a network issue to me.

Have you guys tried it with apps other than youtube or netflix?
Those work fine for me but they use a different discovery method, see here;
actually... I can't post links but googling "netflix different chromecast discovery" and going to the google developers discovery troubleshooting confirms this.
Network is also ruled out for me as it's still working flawlessly on my old phone and my wife's phone.
I cast all the time from Plex so it's super annoying not being able to find the chromecasts for 10 minutes and the closing apps/G Home, rebooting etc trying to trigger a discovery.

Oh a further update to my theory of "the refresh/scan isn't working as it should"
I have a CC that turns off when the TV is turned off and this sometimes appears in the list of devices for hours after it's been turned off, like overnight.
I've tried a factory reset but it didn't help, it's across multiple apps so maybe something to do with discovery in the android discovery software itself?
I wish all the apps just used their own discovery like YT/NF.... grumble, grumble...

Further update...
I'm 90% sure this is due to some overly aggressive power saving. I've also noticed the BBC news widget doesn't update as much as it should.
Today I tested resetting a Chromecast and attaching it as a new one. Didn't work. Needed to use another device to get it set up with Google home. Not ideal. Be interesting to see if anyone else can attach a new Chromecast after factory resetting one if anyone fancies some troubleshooting for me?
Go on, be a pal.
Cheers,

Works flawlessly in streaming from playmovies to casting the screen

I stream from plex or YouTube to a chromecast without problem

Damn... Maybe it's just some devices or a firmware issue then.
I'm on 8.1.0.103, have you a later one? Might be stuck waiting for an update

I'm on .107 firmware, I never tried older ones.

Im also experiencing some problems with chromecast. Basically, some apps, like spotify, sometimes does not show my chromecasts under devices available.
After some tests, I think it is something related to the wifi strength and wifi+. If I disable the sim data, magically all the chromecasts around my house are correctly detected.
