Now that you can use a TV remote to control the Chromecast using HDMI-CEC, would there be any way in the future to install an Android TV ROM, say from the Nexus Player, and use the Chromecast with the TV's remote as an Android TV?
Thanks,
Nick
Thats not possible. Chromecast doesnt have a os installed and android tv has 3gb of size while chromecast has only 1 gb of memory
Chromecast is same as screen mirroring??

Chromecast is a hardware and it has its own app called chromecast too. Screen mirroing is an ability to copy and reproduce the same thing you are watching on your phone/tablet/pc on your tv

It's driving me nuts. The only thing that stops the the Nexus 7 being nothing more than a toy or glorified ebook for me is the fact I cannot find any form of big screen streaming for it. My 2 year old phone has MHL abilities which is okay but someone must know if there are any plans for the Nexus 7? It seems to be ridiculous to have such a powerful device and not be able to use it on a bigger screen.
I've searched back 10 pages on this subject and found nothing so welcome any fresh perspectives on it.
BubbleUPnP and make a DLNA server, I use it to connect to my TV and Xbox.

+1 to BubbleUPnP...
Though screen mirroring is not possible in BubbleUPnP, you can throw any media from it to your TV or other
DLNA enabled devices...
Luckily, my TV has WiFi dongle and Wi-Fi direct feature...
so, once my device is connected to the TV via WiFi-direct, launch BubbleUPnP and select the TV as renderer, I can
throw any media to the TV...
I'm also hoping and wishing for the screen mirroring...
Hi I will look at BubbleUPnP, I've been using Skifta for the time being which does DNLA quite well.
I use my PS3 as a receiver but it doesn't support many file formats.
It's a real shame the Nexus doesn't at least support MHL.

Except mkv files, right?
With a raspberry pi and tassadar's android transporter rom mirroring is possible with reasonable response times

I love tab casting from my pc, but it's in another room. I can't pause video that I'm watching. Will chrome for android be getting an update to allow tab casting?

i have been trying to find this out myself.... i wonder if this is possible with a rotted chromecast? any thoughts?
You could use splashtop to connect to the pc casting, and control like that. I do not have a chromecast yet, but that is what I plan on doing as my main pc is several rooms away from the living room tv.

I use Splashtop to cast tabs to my TV via my tablet and it works brilliantly :good:. My PC is in another room but is cabled to the router which sits next to the TV.

The URL input would be awesome.

If not local content, at least cast from drive.
Oh and widgets for the home screen. Local weather and a nice clock, to be more specific

Something that let's me plug in my earphones to my phone and lets me listen to the audio would be awesome

Local streaming is my #1 by far. Essentially cutting my need to run a HDMI to laptop is the main reason I bought it lol.
As simple as 24p output from netflix, 60hz is terrible! Or am i missing something when 60hz is only I get...?

As the Chromecast picks up the URL of e.g. YouTube or Netflix and takes over the stream, it is unlikely to be able to stream audio to your phone at the same time.

Yes. You need a chrome cast. You can do it from your the all them, if not look up mirror cast on XDA and you can get it setup from there.
