Using a hybrid version of previous XBMC Chromecast solutions, all file types can now be watched on the Chromecast from Computer. This is without a doubt the best FREE computer XBMC solution available.
Instructional Video - http://youtu.be/H9N86ZIM47E
Nothing will work if you don't have chrome.exe and vlc.exe in these exact directories.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe
You also need to know the local ip address of your computer and the port which for me is http://192.168.1.10:8080
Step 1. Go into Chrome Browser and add the Google Cast Extension at
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-cast/boadgeojelhgndaghljhdicfkmllpafd?hl=en
Step 2. Download and install XBMC Windows version 12.3 Frodo at
http://xbmc.org/download/
Step 3. Download modified for chrome playercorefactory.xml at
http://www.mediafire.com/view/gdf9yqpg3b9uk9i/playercorefactory.xml
Place modified for chrome playercorefactory.xml in the system folder using the following path.
C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\system\
Step 4. Download the VLC Player 64 Bit Version
http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/last/win64/
Setup Vlc Player - 64 Bit
1.)Tools...Preferences....Show Settings-All....Interface....Main Interface.....Click Web so it's Checkmarked.
2.)Click little arrow to the left of Interface, Click Lua and enter a password.
Step 5. Download the flv.exe file.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/tvc9dxja2xc1scr/flv.exe
Step 6. Demonstration
Start Chromecast
Start XBMC
Start your show - Click the Cast Button. If the video is in .mp4 or .mkv format, the Chrome Browser should automatically play the video and allow you to cast to your Television.
If the video is in .flv format, Chrome will try to download the file. Stop the download. You will now need the flv.exe file. This flv.exe file lets you transcode the video using VLC and then plays the Video over your local network through Vidcast.
So copy the video link from chrome address bar and close chrome browser. Start the flv.exe which will ask you for the video link which you can paste into the text box and also for your Local Ip Addressort
The flv.exe will open VLC and begin to transcode the video and also reopen the chrome browser with your network address ready to go. Wait for the transcoding line to start moving in VLC Player and then hit enter on the chrome browser to start the stream and lastly hit the chromecast streaming button. The Video should now begin to play on the Television.
Good Luck!

Hi, Forgot to mention this also works with local files. Just replace the http link with a local link. So Instead of http://www.avifile.com put path to your local file C:\users\file.avi.
x32?
Works in W7 32bits?
Thanks!
I can't guarantee it, but I'm pretty sure it would work with 32 bit.
I have everything set up as it should and google chrome opens up, but it is always asking me to download movie files (avi, mkv etc..).
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
Hi,
Did you try the second part of instructions? It sounds like you only did the first part where you can't play those types of files?

Same problem here and i can't figure where it went wrong.
Did you download the flv.exe for playing those type of files?
When I run flv.exe it doesn't appear to do anything... Anyone else seeing this?
Yeah the flv.exe tries tio open a command prompt window then disappears...I've tried so many times...won't work

Yup, and it's based in the core OS language, so it's not affected by the regional settings.*
It's also stored in the registry somewhere, though I don't know where offhand.
It's one of the common errors that plagues installers too.
That, and hard-coding the start menu shortcut path. That broke a lot of things when Vista came along and changed where the user profiles are stored. BTW, that's %userprofile% for the current user
And for good measure, AppData aka Application Data is %appdata% - and since this can map to either path\Local or path\Roaming, if you need to ensure you're in a specific one, jump up a level then drop into the hole you want with %appdata%\..\Local or %appdata%\..\Roaming
* Not-so-fun side note: Regional settings do affect native formatting commands for dates and numbers. This can adversely affect conversion and parsing of these items if source/parser is fixed and parser/source is using regional settings that don't match the fixed expectation. It can also be problematic if source/parser are both using regional settings but they don't match.
This affects delimiters as well, case in point, a comma-separated CSV from Excel will be interpreted fine with US Regional Settings but will open the file as a single cell with most European Regional Settings as they use comma for decimal, ie, one and a half in US would be 1.5, but in European regions it's 1,5.

one thing that you could do, is install Schaps Advanced Config. then go to file associations and associate WMP as the defualt player for those files.

thanks a lot for the advise. I have installed it and tried to associate the WMP files but still the same issue exist. Or may be the way, i have tried is not correct. when i opened the file association, i get so many extensions and for each extension, a description is given. for mp3, the description is sompy player. I located the file that i wanted to play in windows media player by clicking the WMP extension and clicked ok. After that, i tried to open the song file, but the same problem happening. please advise

1. Get to the file association menu in Advanced config.
2. Locate the file that you wanted to associate(.mp3 in your case)
3. Single click on the file extension
4. Click on "Select Program"
5. Then the explorer will open up.
6. Go to the windows folder(takes some to time to load)
7. Locate the file that says WMplayer.exe or something like that, the one that has WMP's picture next to it.
8. Select it.
9. Now you should be back to the extension list.
10. Click on "Save"
11. Click Ok
12. Click "Done" on the Advanced Config mainscreen.
13. Do the Soft reset, when it asks you to.
14. When it rebbots, try it.

apks are just zip files. Set them to open with your archive manager or change the extension to .zip. All applications install their settings into /data/data/%PACKAGENAME% where %PACKAGENAME% is the Java-style package name of the app.
Ugh, no need to use the evil "R" word here. You're going to give us nightmares!
Each application stores its configurations/settings in its home directory in /data/data as pointed out by the previous poster. You might want to bone up on 'sqlite3' as most configuration settings tend to be stored in such databases.

I'am trying right now to find this confing files, thanks, I'll let you know if it's ok.
Note that depending on what you are trying to do, the config files may or may not be able to adjust the property you're after. No matter what, the program itself must support what you are trying to do (this goes for ALL OS's -- you simply can't change something that is irrelevant and expect it to do what you want) and more often than not, the ability to adjust that property would be presented by the program itself.
That is, of course, not to say that manually adjusting the config files is useless, because there IS a lot you can do directly from the config files.

Download APK2EXE and NSIS install system
Follow these steps to create your executable!
* Extract APK2EXE to a new directory
* Add your APK to the directory
* Doubleclick APK2EXE.NSI and edit the 3 lines containing information about your application.
* Right click the NSI file, and select 'Compile NSIS Script' - this will create your install EXE
* Done!
And it is a .apk to .exe converter !!!
Can anyone tell me why it doesn't work ? Many thanks
because your trying to run a Android application on Windows.
it's like saying I want to make this MAC application run on windows.. it just doesn't work..
I dont care what programs say.. Its not coded for Windows so it wont understand what the program does...
BTW you application you speak of is meant to install APK's FROM windows not TO windows
"Hot on the heels of my installAPK utility to let you install APKs from your Windows desktop, I now have another neat trick... which allows developers to distribute APKs as Windows EXE files instead."

shouldnt be too tough. just make a executable file that installs and configures adb, allows user to select apk or select a folder of apk's, create a .bat file that tells windows command prompt adb push the .apk to the sd card, then adb install /sdcard/nameofapk.apk
simple enough!
Can anyone tell me how to edit the app / extracted APK file to make the phone think it's a completely different app i.e. install it twice...

it just depends where you put \android-sdk-windows\
Thanks c00ller,
What I need is the original default path that must be set by windows. Instead of adding a semicolon at the end of the original path and adding the C:/android-sdk/platform-tools after the semicolon, I erased the original path. Now when starting my computer, I am getting errors.
I just did this today because I installed windows 7 on a partition on my MacBook to do android stuff easier.
I just downloaded android commander and when you open it it gives you the option of setting the path for you. No typing or editing. So try that. Its easy.

Looks like you might be using 32bit. If not let me know.
If anyone is using 64bit windows 7 if you could paste the path that windows set by default, I sure would appreciate it.
I did try android commander but it did not give me the option to set the path for me.
I am using Windows 7 64-bit. If i was using 32 bit, I wouldn't have "Program Files (x86)" folders

Next I tried mtp-tools package, mtpfs and qlix.
But there didn't works well.
(Maybe all of this uses libmtp.)
Finally I found rhythmbox supports mtp.
This looks works now.
I'll use this.

You could drag a file from your host pc to remix player, if it is an APK file , remix player will install it. If it is other file, it is be saved into internal sd card.

ADB is android debug bridge. ADB works for android devices, but how can the emulator find the host PC on the local area network?
I too tried to find a way for transfer from player to host while testing the soft, but I now personally gave up and don't care anymore. Just use something as google drive to have a common place where to place shared files (even if this means no local and need for internet) and why not synchronization (even if this means duplicates ...).
