There is a hack available somewhere on XDA to add the Libraries needed to support GoogleCast functions in Android.
It requires ADB and not sure what versions of the OS it is compatible with.
I would look in the Android TV or Hacks section.

[Q] Anybody has tried hulu plus app on CM9?

There is a hacked hulu apk out there, that works on almost all android devices. Google it and you'll find it pretty easily. Mind you it is the phone version so you need to rotate to portrait to browse.

You can edit build.prop to emulate a supported device.

you DO NOT need the app to use chromecast. The app is setup, not use. If netflix youtube play movies and play music work, you should be ok. I have seen and experienced problems with LG and Motorola devices though where those apps dont provide the required cast button.

Real player used to support RTSP (probably still does) but that doesn't mean it will support Casting to a CCast.
I saw that tiny cam pro has chromecast support, but I can't get my cameras to pull up on the app so I am not waisting my money on the pro version. I just tested on the lite free version.

Seems everyone is charging for the CCast support these days! LOL
Yeah I would be sure it will work before you buy and if it can't do it in the app itself no way it will work with CCast.

Screen mirroring for our beloved razr I ?

Hey all !
I have been searching for it for quite some time now, but could not figure it out... It is pretty simple: I'd like to mirror my RAZR I screen on my TV.
I have a Sony blu-ray that has screen mirroring feature with direct WiFi, a Samsung TV with Ethernet capabilities (therefore dlna) and even a raspberry pi connected both to the network and to the TV.
And even with all this, I could find ANY way to play angry birds on my phone or watch a YouTube video on the big screen..
Please help ! Anyone does it ?
I use dlna without any problem to play videos or music from any of my network device, but could not find any simple solution to... Just have the whole screen ^^
Thanks !

No one has any hint ?
Or maybe I should have post in the forum "Questions, bugs..," ? I don't see any difference between those 2 forums ^^'

The RAZR I has the driver for HDMI built into the kernel. But we don't have hall support for it, or u need to add the HDMI.SMI.so from a system.IMG from a Chinese RAZR I to this phone. So at the moment, u can't do it with HDMI if I am right

Well, for play angry birds i dont know but for media streaming use chromecast or dlna broadcaster, i use the first

OK thanks for your answers. Maybe it something we can hope with the KitKat update! Like widi or some miracast of some kind...

best way tocast live stream from XBMC to Chromecast?

can someone please help me?
i want to cast live streaming channels from xbmc to chromcast.
i have a pc with windows 7, tablet with android 4.4 and a nexus 5 phone.
all with xbmc on them, and connected to the home network.
the only thing close to solution the i found is using screen cast on the nexus 5, but its to laggy and the sound is not synchronized withe the picture.
I'm willing to try any solution, no matter how complicated it is, to enable live streaming to my tv using chromecast.
thanks!
use plex
e: dunno how i missed 'channels', but plex is perfect for media streaming.

XBMC Devs are not interested in CCast at all...
And if you even ASK or Suggest they should support it their standard answer is you should support it yourself!
What tablet do you have? If it is not natively supported for screen mirroring, use the mirror enabler app in this forum and try screen mirroring from the tablet.
Another possible solution, although i dont even know if its possible or would work well, is to setup your chrome browser as an external player for xbmc, then once the stream loads in chrome browser, use tab casting. Research about playercorefactory.xml for xbmc for guides
---------- Post added at 10:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------
Another thing to consider is that if sound in xbmc is off sync you can change the audio offset setting to match things up correctly
oorrr ditch xbmc altogether, and go plex worked for me, and not looked back mucheo better !
1. Download Chromecast 1.7.4
2. Turn on Cast Screen
3. Start XBMC.
Supported devices.

is there no way to use my pc? (besides tab casting which also has lagging..) some transcoding software maybe?
have you tried BubbleUPnP ???
you can select the XBMC library im sure (as you can plex) then choose external player, and boom ya in !!!!
even the free one does all that too !

Try Cast2TV app on android. you can cast from XBMC-Android to Chromecast (obviously you need to set your playercorefactory.xml).

Thats is what Cast2TV does, If the link is not supported by Chromecast, it transcodes on the fly to supported formats. support .m3u8, rtmp and rtsp live streams as well as .mkv, .flv formats.
I wont buy this to be honest......most of the streams dont work using free version.
