[REQ] RealPlayer Cloud APKs for user outside US

The RealPlayer Cloud app is US only and I was hoping to use it (as i live outside US). Does the local video casting work outside US? Please, anyone in US, can leech an APK and post here.

Try this: http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
You can get the app URL using Google search.

As a tip, you can create a US based google account and switch to same whenever you want to install US specific apps.

Could you tell me what orbit is? I live in Belgium. I could install the app but when creating an account it complains about my region

Sorry that should have read Orbot (my spell checker changed it). Its basically an app that allows you to connect to a proxy. In order to use it download it run it go into settings and change the last exit node and enter:
{us}
This tricks the real player install into thinking you're in the US and should allow you to get it working. But to be honest as soon as I discovered Avia I gave up on real player. Real player at the time was only allowing you to cast stuff for a limited period of time, not sure if this is still the case? Oh and I think Orbot is pretty useless unless your rooted.

Well I rooted. I like AVIA, but it does not show subtitles

Thanks man I was able to use it now. However it seems subtitles are not possible either :s.
Are you able to use a player with chromecast that plays local video's and is able to display subtitles?
As for plex. It can't use my device as a server I think... (so playing local files on my phone)

I suppose it is not as convenient, but you can always download the content from your pc to cast it directly from your phone with Plex. But it is a different solution, i have all of my content stored on my pc, so i use my phone only as a remote. Hope Avia adds the function to play subtitles.

[Q] 18+ video from youtube app on tablet

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.

This is so full of win it's not even funny.
Works great.

Tried and works great. Streams seem to be more stable than with both Avia or BubbleUPnP for some reason.

So, on which sites would this be useful? I tried it on amazon prime, it didn't work. I wanted to see if it would work on byutv.org, it didn't work. Any suggestions on where I might use this?

You can use it to watch clips on hulu.com (not plus) and if you like searching archives (I do, it's an acquired taste) there's a ton of stuff on the Internet Archive.

It's jumpy, it's cheesy but it's the original **** Tracy.
Some good and all but lost stuff in there.

I'm sure you'll run across things for your tastes at other sites if you're not interested in that sort of thing. There's a lot of gems squirreled away on the net.

I'm just not getting how to use VGet with Chrome to cast an internet stream. Can someone explain it to me?
I have the VGet downloader extension and the VGet casting extension installed in Chrome on my PC.
I see a VGet icon on my toolbar.
If I start an internet video stream (like the **** Tracy example), I can can click on the VGet icon and it gives me the options to download or cast to Chromecast.
I click on Chromecast, and says it's searching for a DLNA renderer on my network (why does it need one?).
I have to turn on an Android based DLNA client like BubbleUpNP on my Android table, or it won't find anything and it won't proceed. My TV DLNA clients on Samsung or Roku aren't detected.
If I select my Android tablet as the DLNA renderer, I get a small VGet play window that looks like its trying to play something, but nothing happens. It never asks me anything about which Chromecast to use, and my Chromecast shows nothing. The BubbleUpNP client on the Android tablet shows a blank screen.
What's supposed to happen? I don't quite understand the relationship between VGet and the DLNA renderer and the Chromecast.

I'm using the vGet app for Android. On that, if you turn off desktop/Flash mode and turn on Chromecast, select an mp4, it'll cast. With desktop/Flash mode on, you get to choose - Stream (to your selected Android media player, MoboPlayer is good here), Download, or DLNA.
I didn't know that they made a desktop Chrome extension.
PS - when I said it works great - I'm using it with low quality videos that don't look worse via vGet/casting vs. any other methods I use to watch those, but it's very convenient so that's great for me.

VGet appears to work for the Webisodes Network website which is nice.
Would be even nicer if vGet had a functional back button in their internal browser. If I navigate into a site and then press the Android back button, it just bumps me out of the app.

Odd. Must be device or Android version dependent. I get the previous page.
The problem with the app that I noticed last night is that once my phone has gone to sleep, it sometimes forgets that it's casting and remote control is lost.
Are you seeing any of that?
PS - thanks for the tip on Webisodes.

Could be version dependent. This is a Nexus 7 2012 running 4.4. The bad back button may be a quirk of the new Chromium Web view.

Eyeonanime.com tried, tested, and verified to work.

Tried a few more experiments with the PC Chrome extension and with the Android app to answer my own questions about vGet since nobody else seems to have the answers.
As far as I can tell, the vGet extension for PC Chrome does not currently support the Chromecast, although it uses the Chromecast icon. When I click the cast icon and it prompts for a "DLNA renderer", it's looking for a playback client. But it doesn't detect the Chromecast as a valid client, nor does it detect my Roku (even if it's running the DLNA client), nor my Samsung Blu-Ray player (even if it's running the DLNA client). The only thing it detects is Android-based DLNA clients on the network, like BubbleUPnP on my tablet - and it can't cast successfully to that client either, although it tries.
I can get the Android vGet app to work and cast a stream like the **** Tracy video to the Chromecast, but it's really flaky. Most of the time I just get the cast icon in the middle of the screen on the Chromecast when vGet connects, and no stream starts. A few times I got sound but no video. It takes a couple of tries to get a proper video stream to start, and as soon as it does, vGet crashes Android immediately, causing a reboot - but the stream keeps playing on the Chromecast, so it's obviously receiving it directly. If I attempt to restart vGet after Android reboots, it just crashes and reboots Android again immediately as long as the Chromecast continues to play. Only after I turn off the Chromecast will vGet start again without crashing the Android tablet.

Too bad vGet on Android isn't more robust. I'd guess it cares about the version or something. I've used it quite a bit already without those issues. Hopefully they'll fix it.

Vget forma Android is great. But only with DLNA devices.

My mileage is the exact opposite.
On vGet Android, I uncheck desktop/Flash, select Cast, then tap the desired mp4 link and I'm in business.
My TV tends to suck at dealing with DLNA video.
On my TV, I'm stuck with this -
Compatible files: DLNA-supported file types and extensions are listed below.
Music – MP3 (.mp3)
Photos – JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg)
Video – MPEG1 (.mpg, .mpeg) MPEG2 (.mpg, .mpeg, .trp, .ts, .tp) DIVX (.mpg, .mpeg, .avi)
MPEG4 AVC (.mpg, .mpeg)

Between vGet, LocalCast, and RealPlayer Cloud, I'm pretty much done with DLNA.
It's fabulous when it works though, I agree.

And now it's US$5 for vGet.

Since now.
If you update to 0.4.3 or newly install it, you get two weeks free, after that it's $5. I understand that one can earn more free time through a new referral plan.
0.4.2 was the last free version.

We are truly sorry for those that cannot afford to spend a few bucks and have no Facebook or real live friends to refer. But basically it's simple: Developing and maintaining an App costs money. This money has to come from somewhere. For some very popular Apps, Ads may be able to pay it for you . They cannot for vGet - we tried that initially.

The old name violated Google's Terms of Service I would imagine as well.

It very much violated many Google's branding guidelines haha.
Edit:
The latest update basically just updated the icons, etc... and added some share buttons.

Is there any way to control Videostream from a remote device? I've dabbled with RemoteCast but it didn't seem to pick up on the Videostream content.

Great app! Keep up the good work!

Anyway to add time stamps along with forward/rewind 30 seconds etc

App Needs Launch Button
Great aoo Works flawlessly but have to go to Web Store to launch. No launch button in chrome toolbar,

I really like the app Videostream for Chromecast. However, there is not a button on the toolbar that allows me to launch it from chrome directly. I have to go to the Play Store and launch from there. Anyone else have this problem? I have not been able to find any references about this problem on any forums.

It's an app not and extension. I find the open apps button on the bookmark bar, and it's there.
More info HERE or you can add a button HERE

I see we have an end time on the timeline now!

Oh-- it should be in your Start menu / Spotlight.

Try logging into your Chromecast via a web browser, then change the Team-Eureka Whitelist to the Google Whitelist.
This work for me.

Thanks that worked! Should I keep the Google whitelist going in future?
