all you xoom wifi owners check your market there should be videos app waiting for you in updates.
i see it but shouldnt we have a section in the market to rent movies now? i dont see the market update yet
yeah nothing in market yet but you can see movies you rented in the app and the shop goes to online im sure they will reroute it soon.
Its not just wifi Xooms i have a Vzw 3G Xoom and i got the update a little bit ago.
I see it but it does not install for me on us wifi stock 3.1 with unlocked bootloader.
yup, can't install on mine
please post videos apk
Can someone please post the apk so us rooted users can try it out and get a look at it etc..
The!
I have 3.1 stock will not install but just started showing device is compatible

This has been said before, but just as a reminder. You won't be able to install it if your bootloader is unlocked. You have to be completely stock and locked.
Just because we are told it won't work doesn't mean we can't get it to work.
Anyone have the apk yet?
Sent from my Tablet
I never said that somebody wont be able to make it work. Just that you won't be able to install it from the market. And as far as making it work, one would need to remove the checks that it does for modified devices.
I've had this on my wifi xoom ever since using BRD's method to update to 3.1. Is this update a true update? How do I get rid of the update notice?
Finally!!!!!!!
after 190909090 attempts!!! started to download and its working!!
Probably was something wrong with the google server not allowing to download.
try it again. everyone should be good to go.
still no go for me

Not entirely true it can be installed if your rooted, however you will not be able to watch rented videos.
My rooted wifi got the update via market today and installed without any issue.
I finally got it to install by first opening up the gallery and then going back to the market and clicking on update. I am rooted and running Tiamat Kernel.
Still no go for me either. For those of you that got the update today did your market change as well?
Anybody mind posting the movies apk?

Yes, your new link works.
Installed it at work so I can't really play with it yet but there is a weird little headphone and chrome something icon with a line through it at the bottom left of the main screen that doesn't do anything. I probably need to be on the same network and the app to see my chromecast for whatever that is to do something but just thought I'd mention it.
Suggestions:
1) Add a check on app start to notify if it can't find the chromecast on the network
2) Ask to enable wifi for same reason as #1
3) Add Widget(s) for the app (Granted I haven't used the app to it's full potential yet to determine what the widget could/should have)

How come this is the only chromecast app in the store every other developer is saying that google hasn't allowed developers to release apps yet I think it has something to do with the beta sdk or something

Maybe because this is using an API for controlling the Chromecast but it's not actually pushing video to it.

Don't know about other, but I can tell you one thing : Google released all the stuff a developer could need to develop apps for it and there's no limitation to publish what they want. Here's the catch though, their API is somehow limited for clients and are meant for services like Netflix or Hulu to implement their own media player remote. Sending content to the Chromecast is a very different thing (and is potentially the most interesting). Koush wrote a few things about it on his Google+ page, I recommend checking it out as well as his workaround.

Do you have any plans to post your source code? I'd love to take a look at it.
I'm strongly considering it but not immediately. There's a lot of changes going on in the codebase still and a little bit of house cleaning before I can start thinking of releasing it. Maybe in a couple months from now. If you need to look at some chromecast code, samples do pretty much the same =)
Apparently, Koush has built in Chromecast functionality to CM, possibly for future release. Hopefully, similar mods can be made that will do the same for other ROMs...

To be clear, this allows you to cast any video or audio, FROM a CM phone TO the Chromecast.
When i read your post, i imagined that i could cast TO my CM phone...
Still, VERY AWESOME!
CANT'T WAIT! :fingers-crossed:
Game. Changer.
Unless I understand it wrong, none of these 3rd party apps and tweaks are going to work for us (non-developers) until Google starts whitelisting apps. I think each app needs its own specific whitelisted key by Google in order to make an app talk to the Chromecast.

I fell into the same trap; I want to use an old tablet I have laying around as a chromecast receiver. While this isn't that, you kind of buried the lead: media from any app is castable, that is amazing.

From what I understand Koush went around this requirement by not using the Chromecast API.

I thought the Chromecast hardware had to be setup to be in 'developer mode', and then whitelisted by Google in order to even receive anything besides the default apps?

The function will be built into CM so you wont have to root the chromecast, now you have to unlock and root your device to install CM so as long as the build you install supports it you should be good to go.
This i want. Streaming netflix and YouTube from my tablet is awesome, but chromecast is pretty limited.
I knew this would happen at some point. Those that don't have a chromecast need to order one now (2-3 month wait). Hopefully this will be released soon.

Here is something that might actually allow streaming (casting) to a device running CM or any other ROM?

This is exactly what I thought chromecast was when it was first announced. I was really disappointed when I saw the limited functionality it actually has. Hopefully a full on mirror will be next.

I don't really get the appeal of this. What's the point of casting something on one android device to another? Why not just play it on that device you are casting too? Of casting to an HDMI stick doesn't make sense, just play the video/ audio on the HDMI stick.
Koush`s chromecast integration is awesome.

PM me for Google Chromecast ready to ship.
Someone please make an ad block for Chromecast.
I dont think this would be possible if my understanding of how the chromecast works is correct. Once you cast things like youtube, the job of recieving the content is left to the chromecast, so youd need an app that would remove ads then cast that. Otherwise the only thing i could think of is if you made some kind of ad blocking proxy like what DD-WRT does and run your chromecast through that, quitr certain that needs a rooted chromecast though. Of course, an even better solution would be, at least in youtube's case, for google to fix the implementation of ads, at present the skip ad button is shown onthe tv screen, so you are forced to watch the sometimes 5 minute long ads. I may be completely incorrect in saying this, as i said, this is just from my understanding.

Using the official youtube app on my Nexus 6, I'm getting frequent ads when watching youtube videos via chromecast. But now I've implemented an ad-blocker using a raspberry pi as an ad-blocking dns server (search for "pi-hole" if interested).

All the requests are SSL so you'd need to root your CC and set it to use the proxy. Also apparently YouTube adblock DOES work you just need an old YouTube version, so it would probably be easier to give that a shot as long as you're on with using an old version.

If I remember correctly you go to manage apps, all find the app you're hunting for click on it and it'll open app info
and just under force stop you should have the option to untick the checkmark for show notifications.

Hey guys, just noticed something, chromecast doesn't or rarely plays ads before a video that has low view count so if someone could spoof the nr. Of views the video actually has naybe chromecast would not think to play ads, anyways, just putting it out here

The reason for that is probably due to the fact that those videos are not from partnered channels, unless somethings changed recently ads only show on partnered channels.

Are you sure your internet connection works with Spotify? Have you tried to download songs using a VPN?

Ah well glad you figured out the problem.
Are you listening to Spotify Music on your Phone? If it doesn't download for offline on WiFi, there is a way for you to overcome this problem. For Premium member, you can use your computer to downloaded it and put this music on your Phone. However, if you just a free user, you can use a tool like TuneFab Spotify Music Converter for converting Spotify Music and transfer them to your Phone.
