I cannot get Chromecast to work with the Nook HD+. I installed CM11 Rom with Mirror Enabler app and Chromecast app. In Mirror Enabler App, I enabled all three options. If I go to Settings>Display>Cast Screen, the Nook HD+ finds my Chromecast. But when I select the Chromecast, the screen may turn black for a second and then it just disconnects. And if I go into the Chromecast app, it shows my device. But when I hit Cast Screen, the connection just ends and nothing even seems to happen.
I read on the CM11 thread around page 182 where another user had the same problem and another member (extrem0) posted a file to flash that fixed his problem. But the file is no longer available. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
What's your rom build date? Unless you're using a 6 months old build, you don't need the file I posted. Also, I think Mirror enabler app is no longer needed. Google updated chromecast app making mirroring working on all 4.2+ devices IIRC.
In case anybody else experiences this problem, I was finally able to get the Nook HD+ to cast to Chromecast. If I used only the Chromecast app, it would immediately disconnect when I would select cast screen to the Chromecast. It turns out I needed the mirror enabler app from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193. And the tricky part is that the latest version of the mirror enabler app (v7) doesn't work with the Nook HD+. You need to use an older version such as v6 or v5.
After downloading mirror enabler v6, I started the app and enabled the 3 options. Then I rebooted the tablet. After it rebooted, I went into Settings>Display>Cast Screen. Make sure the option for Cast Screen is turned on and that you have your Wifi turned on. You should see your Chromecast device listed on your tablet. Just tap on it and it should cast to your TV screen. When you want to disconnect, just tap on the Chromecast device again and hit disconnect. That is basically it.
The Rom I am currently using is Temesek's CM11 ROM. Now only if I could get flash player to work
I didn't know mirror app was still needed. Didn't try to cast using my nook recently. Also, mirroring is not working on CM12 (I tried both v7 and v6 mirror app and it didn't work).
For flash player, try Dolphin browser.
Thank you, neonleon29! I've tried for two months to get mirroring to work and now it works perfectly.

I just saw this video on youtube, but I'm kind of afraid to sideload this after the virus scare last week.
Vid
If it's legit, I'm totally loading it up.
[EDIT]The link goes to a Megaupload page and the file is called app.apk
Looks a little suspect to me, but they guy in the vid has the XDA app, so who knows.
This app needs flash i think? Basically searches for shows on video sites like megavideo, frogmovz, etc.
Your best bet for streaming TV and Movies on the XOOM is going to be PLEX, in my opinion.
IF you only have a Windows based computer to host the server on then you will only be able to stream what ever local content you have at present. The Windows based server for Plex is still very much a work in progress.
IF you have a Mac to host the server on then there are many plugin available such as Hulu and Netflix, to go along with local content.
At present PLEX will give you a video subsystem error if you attempt to play video on the XOOM. I know for a fact that the XOOM is being worked on by the PLEX devs, and we should have a working version out in the near future.
I will post here in the Xoom Apps section as soon as we have it ready for our lovely new toy.

Hi
We have opened a testing request for the aplication "TV Shows Stream" and "Tv Shows Stream Lite"
The testing request thread is here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=977194
And the main thread aplication is here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903351
The aplication need flash player installed. It will play the videos from megavideo and other streaming site that are using jwplayer. The aplication is working fine in all 2.2 / 2.3 android flash capable tablets and in most of android devices with flash.
Any info will be welcome, thanks in adnvanced.
The app looks and functions fine except it wont actually play a video.
It will give me the message "Megavideo will load in a few seconds, please wait" and then just sits there.
If I touch the menu button I get the option to "Close Browser". If I touch the screen, it shows the progress bar at the top and loads the Megavideo site.
If I use the Karambavidz link it plays sound, but no video.
Frogmovz gives me the message to "Tap play and let the video load", but there is nothing to tap. The screen is black.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
We are working in an update that will be released soon, probably before monday that allows karambavidz and loombo links to be played without using flash player, using the android native player. Those links should work fine.
For the other links, you can email yourself the link, copy it, and open it with "Dolphin HD" browser (free on market). It has been reported on Xoom forum that they can use the links if they use in this way. I know is not a good way to do it, but is a temporary workarround.
More info soon in the application thread, we are working right now on the update, its almost finished.
Regards
Hi
TV Shows Stream v3.0 has been updated now (the lite version will be updated on monday likely), clean the market cache if you dont see the update.
Karamabvidz and Loombo links can now be opend with external player. (the android native player, rock player, vplayer or any other that you have installed on your device.
We will be working on how to improve the other video links performance over xoom in the next weeks. For the other devices flash 10.2 is working fine. (flash 10.2 is beta for honeycomb) .
Please,, report if the karambavidz and Loombo links works fine on Xoom using "External players" option. Thanks in advanced.
regards
anyone try out jetflicks? Its pretty much a membership to a website, but many many different shows to choose from. They seem to keep up to date pretty well. Dont pay for the application its only a link to their website.

This app turns android device to a Chromecast receiver. As far as I know, this is the only Android Chromecast receiver besides Google's own implementations.
It supports YouTube, Chrome browser tab mirroring, Google Play Music, Google Play Movies, and screen mirroring. Most 3rd party apps using Google Cast SDK should also work. Yes, it works on Amazon FireTV boxes and sticks, and other major brands of Android TV boxes.
This is the trial apk, which has full features, except this current apk will expire on Feb 29, 2016, so hurry up !

Hello huisinro,
App installs OK and looks very pretty.
When I try to cast to it from an Android Phone on the same wifi network it doesn't show up at all, also tried using the Chromecast Setup App from other android phoes too.
EDIT : Tried it on a LG G3 (d855)
Thanks Rob.
Did you try the screen mirroring from the Google chromecast app? It will search for the receivers.
You may need to reboot the router.
Any news on a Amazon App store release? Would love to buy your app but need to buy through Amazon so I can use on my Fire TV and other android devices through their app store.
Still working on a version for Amazon store release, look like it will be next month.
Great, thanks.
Would love support for amlogic devices. If you need a guinea pig im happy to help. Have also bought the paid version hoping support will come one day and help development
I have a Minix X8 and X8H, which are amlogic running Android 4.4, they are working fine. What is your AMLogic device model?
Its a vigica c70t running 4.2.2.
Ok, AMLogic before android 4.4 is notorious in not supporting low level Media Codec API, which is why not working .
I will see if I can use a software decoder.
Can you check if Google chrome browser works on your box?

That'll be what my MX Box needs too, if you recall. Really looking forward to the possibility.
YouTube app works on mine, not sure about in the browser. I'll edit this in a bit after I've checked.
Edit: Tried with https://youtu.be/azV0Y7v6wsg - definitely works in both the YouTube app and in Chrome, but not when attempting to cast it from another device. @huisinro
Apk updated , fixed iOS YouTube crashing issues
Thanks for the update. Did you install the chrome browser from google play?

What is the error when you cast YouTube to your box with YouMap? black screen?
I get unable to play video. Please choose anouther. But other apps that cast video i get a black screen with sound. But when i push the back button i get video for a second befor the app closes. Could it be an issue with stagefright on my device. Ive done a bit of research and most of what ive found points to that. I dont know much about it though
Sent from my SM-G900I using XDA Free mobile app
Yes, it's to do with Stagefright low level decoding API， which AMLogic does not support.
When you use amlogic boxes, does YouTube casting work? What about chrome tab mirroring? What about android screen mirroring?
Thank you for the great app!
I have installed Youmap Chromecast receiver into my Android settop box. where the result is strange. When I enable the Youmap receiver, all of my phone can't find it. After rebooting the router, my Nexus 4 can find the receiver only when the Android settop box connected to router through LAN cable. If the Android settop box is connected to router wirelessly, none of my phone could search it.
In the above successful case, the Nexus 4 can find and cast the screen to the Android settop box (procedure: Setting > Display > Cast screen > Select YouMAP (XXXX)). Although Nexus 4 and my Android settop box support Miracast, I'm pretty sure Nexus 4 is connected to the settop box by chromecast as I didn't enable Wireless Display and the search result clearly stated YouMap. On the other hand, the cast button didn't appear in Youtube app. Moreover, I tried it on my Moto G 2014 and it didn't find the receiver (procedure: Setting > Display > Cast screen).
Device list:
My Android settop box is MiBox 1S with Amlogic 8726-MX running Android 4.4
Nexus 4 running stock Android 4.4
Moto G 2014 running stock Android 5.0
D-link DIR-655 Wireless N router
Netflix (installed from Google Play) works great. But the cast icon doesn't appear in the app, even though it does appear in the YouTube app, for example.
Is there any way to fix this?
Thank you.

it's working for me
I had this problem too. All other casting apps like bubbleupnp and showbox and youtube worked but not netflix. Tried everything to fix it but nothing would work. Now I'm on cm12.1 it works again! So
if you're running stock maybe try cm12.1?
Use the Chromecast app
I have the same issue. I have installed the Chromecast app to solve the problem. I just fire up Chromecast app and then connect to my Chromecast. Now I am connected to the Chromecast through the app and my TV is mirroring my tablet. Then I just fire up Netflix and I'm watching a movie..

That's... a solution, for sure. Not ideal, but it'll have to do. At least until I try CM (will do that soon). It has to be something on the Amazon ROM that tells the Netflix app that it's not Chromecast compatible.
If you've got root through installing a custom ROM, this should work, it worked for me:

Could someone tell me if the latest CM 11.0 incorporates amaces and Jon Lee's improvements for screen flicker and smoothness? Jon Lee talked about updating a CM 11.0 ROM with the latest improvements but I don't think he ever got around to it. The reason I don't use one of the newer ROMs is because I use the screen casting feature a lot. Last I saw, amaces wasn't able to get that feature to work on CM 12.0 and CM 13.0.
And if the improvements haven't been incorporated, any chance someone could build a CM 11.0 ROM with them? TIA

FWIW -
I've using CM11 shortly after when it first came out, currently on the 11/22 nightly, and never have had screen flickering problem.
Also, I can do screen mirroring from specific apps (NetFlix, YouTube, ...) to my Panasonic Viera TV and Chromecast, but I've not been able to fire up screen casting via Settings->Display_>Screen Casting.

Thanks for the response. I currently use Temasek's CM11.0 ROM. I've been getting screen flickering when I'm browsing the web. Think I'll do a backup and give the latest CM 11.0 a shot to see if the flickering goes away.
As for screen casting, this is how I got it to work:

I am definitely newer to this, scoured the site and everything regarding miracast is pretty old. Looking to cast to a fire stick 1st gen, or Xbox one. Please help¡
I have never been able to get it to work on the HD+, either. It works OK on my LG devices (running stock firmware).

I am running lnos_ovation-ota-NMF26Q.170104 on my HD+ and can mirror the Nook screen (audio+video) to my Chromecast using the "Cast" button in Quick Settings (note that the "Cast" button is not included by default and needs to be added by editing the Quick Settings).
With some apps like Netflix and YouTube I can choose between the Chromecast or directly to the Panasonic TV ("Viera 60"). With native casting and some other apps like NBC Media the only choice is Chromecast.

OK, thank you, I'll have to check out the chromecast. Thought I'd be doing myself a favor with my kindle and fire stick for mirroring, but that's been a pain in the ass and they are made by the same company. Very Moody. Then I got handed this nook HD+ and like it, hated the b&n os, but that was easily remedied.
Now, when I try to mirror\cast, its like the nook doesn't even try to scan for devices, its like "piss on it, I'm not even going to look", so is that normal? sans the Chromecast \app allowed mirroring...
Thank you guys for your help guys
