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] Comcast Xfinity App for G-tab - Anyone get it to work?

Found a thread with the .apk but it doesn't seem to work. I can get it installed; however, it gives me an error with just about every action I try. Any help? Running TNT Lite v4.4.

I actually posted the same question. I got it from the market and was really looking forward to having access to on demand. Anytime I try to do anything I get a unknown error has occurred. I haven't contacted them yet, but I am wondering if a 3G connection is required. On their site it does say that the app requires an android phone 2.1 or 2.2, so that is why I am thinking it needs 3G.

As I told markmac in his post, I was able to open an use the Xfinity app fine on my gtab running the stable CM7 released yesterday.

Works fine, running vegan tab gingerbread rc1. Did have tnt and tried, was a no go.

I get the same error on the Vegan GB ROM.

Last night i flashed the latest Vegan Gingerbread rom and still having the same issue. Just to me clear, my issues are with the Xfinity TV app not the Xfinity Mobile app.

Apoligize, app not working, had themobile. Most functions work.from there website which was strange.

No go on this stock tablet. Unknown error on both sign-in and searching for the channel listing. FWIW their mobile app doesn't work either.

Tried this on my Vegan-Tab 5.1.1 and while I was able to download it from the Market after running the "fix" I too get the unknown error.
I also can't seem to get access through their website despite being a paid customer for all of Xfinity's content. Every movie/tv show that I try hangs at "obtaining authorization"...

Is this the app to control your DVR remotely ?
or
To watch On Demand ?
From my GTab: I just log into Xfinity website and watch shows direclty. Admittedly I only tried it a few times and I probably didn't hit enough videos to cover all three video playback formats.

I'm guessing that you're hitting Comcast's ceiling of three registered playback devices. If you go into your profile & see 3 devices, delete one.

I appreciate the suggestion but I have no registered playback devices, the GTab would be the first.

I tried going to the website and watching movies, but they never loaded. Min got past the authorization part. I am running Vegan GB.
What ROM are you using?

cm7 errors too
I switched from Vegan to CM today to get netflix working. Was happy to get Netflix, but get errors galore still with xfinity tv.... Anyone found a way?

Error is invalid IMEI problem
I finally got the Xfinity TV app Working! The problem was an invalid IMEI error (although it didn't say that). I found a link to a solution for the Nook Color here: http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/188...91598__hl__xfinity__fromsearch__1#entry191598

[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?

Are you using the included extender? At times I'd lose network connection and was forced to use it.

Yes, I'm using the extender... I am also using the tv usb to power the chromecast. are there better results with the wall power plug?

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!!

Anyone noticing disconnect not working? Netflix?

I've seen this with vGet, then Web Video Caster and now with the latest Netflix.
I'd seen this before with some apps, usually I switched to Netflix to get control and then disconnected from there.
The dev for Web Video Caster says he's using a Google library for the function and will contact Google after he checks further.
Latest Netflix - pause a show, disconnect, the show remains on the TV.
I wondered if this is widespread or not so I'm asking if others are seeing this.
I'm on the latest Chromecast version, stock.

i'm watching netflix right now on stock chromecast.

I have always had this problem since buying the chromecast in December, I have to cast YouTube to get out of netflix on both my htc one and my ipad. Are you by any chance using a dns service like unblock us? I am and Netflix said that could be the cause.

Nope, I'm as vanilla stock, out of the box as you can get.
This just cropped up for me, been using Chromecast since August.
@gianptune - thanks, but doesn't answer the question.

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.

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.
Cheers,
Jon

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,
Jon

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.
