My chromecast updated this afternoon..and now no wallpapers like before are playing when it's on standby..:crying:
That was the one feature I liked best about Chromecast, now there's just a "Ready to Cast" sitting there in the middle.
Anyone else got this update? What other new apps (atleast) have come with this update to take me out of my misery?:crying:
Ok ignore this thread! I just casted something, and after I switched it off the wallpapers came back on. I don't know why it didn't do it at the beginning.
Wallpapers loads fine. Try resetting your Chromecast.

Hey guys so I got a chromecast from Google play and I just bought a 13" macbook air(2013). I tried casting a tab but the display I get on the TV is really weird. I've attached a photo to this post showing what I mean. I tried casting a tab from my macbook pro (2012) and a Samsung series 7 chronos too but I don't get any sort of problem with the display from those. Is anyone else experiencing the issue? Is there a fix for this? Any sort of help is appreciated!

The image shows the Netflix website and I know I can use the app itself so let's not hear anything about that lol. I was just using the website as an example.

i have a 2012 air and it works fine for me. It's really choppy if i turn it to the highest setting but looks fine in 720p. I'm not sure if the computer or the router is the reason it's not smoother.

I don't think it can be the router since every other laptop casts tabs just fine. I am guessing it's my macbook air or the chromecast maybe. then again, I don't see the chromecast being the issue since other devices work well with it.
I would try a factory reset for the Chromecast. If that doesn't help maybe swap Chrome versions. Try Chrome beta, works perfect for me.
Updating Chrome to the beta version did the trick. Thanks man

Is there a way to have my xbox360 connect to my note. I would like to stream movies from phone to xbox360
No problem. Your x box is a dlna compatible device. As long as the file is playable using the stock player, you can stream to the xbox.
I have accidently sent photos to my son's 360 when I first used this phone. Did not know what the icon was in the gallery hit it and the next thing I know my son is yelling at me to quit sending things to him.

Is there a setting or something I need to turn on. Even when I open my photo gallery I don't see the icon to send to xbox360 or tv
Nope, if you are using the stock gallery, the icon is right on top when you open an image. It's the icon next to the 'share with' icon. Make sure your xbox and note are on the same wireless network and that you're not in a game.
Of so that's the problem..I have the xbox hardwired to router
They just need to be on the same network. It doesn't matter if one is hardwired and one is wireless. That is how my Xbox is setup and it works with it.

Both are are the same network. Here is what I try. xbox is on and connected to xbox live I open gallery on phone and I don't see the little icon to let me switch over.
Barnacle wireless tether worked great on my HTC. Try it out for root user's only
Be careful if you plug your phone into the xbox, mine grounded within and right now it is a brick. I tried it with my iPhone about a week ago. I think I plugged it in at the wrong time or something, I read it's an issue with the 360.

Barnacle works great with x box
Go to settings>connections and enable "Nearby devices" to share media over DLNA.
I remembered seeing tis option when I was first playing with my phone. I don't have any DLNA devices, aside from my Note 3, so I don't really no if this will fix your issue.
hope that helps.
Guess my xbox is screwed then. I open settings share with nearby devices and it does not find my box. My xbox is only few months old.

Have you checked the settings in your Xbox? Possible something is turned off in there. Don't no personally as I have never messed with my son's 360.

Good morning!
Does anyone have a solution for some home videos that cast sideways on chromecast from a phone or tablet? I have looked for a way to correct this but have been unsuccessful. When i use Avia or RealPlayer cloud the result is the same....they play fine on the device but are sideways when I cast to the TV...

LOL
there are only two solutions to this...
1 - Rotate the TV....
2 - Load it into Premiere or FinalCut and try and rotate the Video by 90 degrees
There may be a third option if you can find a Video Converter that supports Rotating video...

Looks like MediaCoder can do it via the Rotate option in the Picture tab.
If you're stuck with a favorite editor and it accepts Avisynth scripts, you can rotate it via Avisynth too.
The absolute worst thing you can do is change the camera orientation midway through. If you start one way, finish it that way. Otherwise you'll limit your ultimate viewing window to a square (1080x1080, 720x720, etc). My wife did that once and I screamed "Noooooooooooo!" in slow motion like in the movies.
I'm a little lost here can you use chromecast to stream videos using the stock video app that comes with the note 3??

Stock video app - only if you have a rooted Chromecast and use the specific version of AllCast (see FAQ).
Otherwise you can use Avia (paid option) or RealPlayer Cloud.
Ohh OK Kool thank you very much

Chances are your chromecast got updated when you first plugged it in and the root won't work now.

I've also been a VERY proud owner of a Galaxy Note 3 since around early to mid-October when it was first released. All Chromecast-enabled apps have worked just fine on my phone **SO FAR**. As far as I can remember, I've never had a single issue casting from my Note 3, even with the "working" version of Koushik's AllCast/AirCast app. Everything has been just fine and problem-free thus far!!(As far as I know....*[1.]My fingers have remained crossed since I bought this phone back in October. ...&... [2.]This wooden desk has had a small knuckle-sized hole 'knocked' straight through it!!* LOL). But yea, as far as the "stock" Samsung Video app goes, as long as your Chromecast has been rooted and you've installed the correct, "working" version of Koushik Dutta's AllCast/AirCast app onto your phone, you *should* be able to just open up the Video app, locate your video that you're wanting to cast(Google's Chromecast PREFERS for "casted" videos to have the .mp4 file extension and also to have been encoded using the H264 video codec and the AAC audio codec.), and finallllllly, locate and press the "Share to AllCast" button up at the top of the app(If you don't happen to see the "Share to AllCast" icon up at the top of the Videos app, you just MAY have to click on the little 2 or 3 pronged "Share to..." button up at the top of the app instead and just scroll down the list that pops up to locate the AllCast app.). Assuming that your Chromecast has already been properly rooted and the correct version of "AllCast" has been installed, your video(Also assuming that the video has been properly encoded in the H264/AAC codecs.) *SHOULLLDDD* start playing on your tv screen in all its beauty (...with an echo ringing throughout your house/apartment/trailer/cardboard box(I'm TOTALLY J/K about this one!!) coming from your Chromecast sounding eerily like Tarzan in the jungle!! Lol!!).

I have 2 note 3 and i need information to use one of then like a chromecast. Its that possible?
Thanks.

MLB recently added casting support to their mobile app but frankly it's pretty bad for me. Casting from a chrome tab on a PC works "fine", but I can't get more than a few innings when casting from the atbat app before it freezes. Then, in order to restart the stream you have to disconnect/reconnect the cc in the app, not simply reload the stream.
Anyone on a custom ROM tried it? Anyone else seen this, possible fixes?
My CC is on usb power from the TV so it sees fresh boots frequently. I've rebooted after a freeze only to get one batter's worth of feed afterward.
All other casting apps work great, but sadly not my most expensive streaming service.

I'm watching an archived game right now after plugging into a different power source besides the TV so far no freezes. I will try a live game tomorrow. It's possible the USB port on the TV doesn't supply constant enough power or something.

Only when casting from the app though? Google play movies, Hulu, Netflix; all of these services cast from their app without issue. I can also cast a whole game from a PC to the CC just fine.
I'll try an archive game tonight, I imagine that's a bit different than a live stream.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I loaded the same game up as an archive and i'm about to turn it off because it's been playing for over 2.5 hours with no issues. It's only the live streams that have problems.
EDIT/UPDATE: So today, Live streams are worse. Every live stream I click on plays a couple frames then gives error 1. Nice.
My live streams are perfect now that my device is no longer plugged into the TV for power.

Was AFK for a while, gave the mlb team some feedback about it & all is good, confirmed after several live games. They're actively tweaking on their end so GJ mlb. Still plugged into TV and all is fine, that wasn't my issue. Maybe your TV doesn't provide enough power on the usb port?
