I recently saw a post about the new beta mirror.apk for AirPlay Mirroring and Screen Recording in CyanogenMod 10.2 nightly. Does it work with the Nexus 7 (2012), because i saw some Miracast-ROM's floating around? would love to mirror my Nexus 7 screen via ATV2 onto my TV Anyone got it working on the Nexus 7?
so i tried playing some netflix through miracast but i got no video, just the sound and subtitles. does anyone know why and how i can fix it?

I'm curious as well. I wonder if the galaxy S5 has the same issue. If miracast works on the S5, then it could be addressed in a ROM update
lg g2 doesn't have the issue...

come on people. seriously?! XDA can solve the complex "where is my power button" issue, or the "how do I run an app" problem, but it can't help me with a miracast issue? a feature standard in all kitkat androids?
who has a solution or idea? or where can I find a real android forum

I'm also having this problem on an HTC One m7 but it works just fine on an LG 8.3 v500.
Really interested in a possible solution. I've tried various HDCP settings to no avail. Does it have anything to do with HDCP?
What roms have you tried? What kernels? What miracast dongles?
Roms:
viper 6.2.1
slimrom 4.4
Kernels:
stock viper
stock slimrom
I ordered the offical HTC Media Link HD H200 to try out so we'll see how that works.
So far the Belkin ~$50 one doesn't work (HDMI 2.0) returned and can't remember the model. FD something maybe.
Also might be worth trying this (I haven't yet): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13952221&postcount=722
Stock and gpe. Stock 1.651.10 didn't display netflix even though everything else works, gpe 4.4.4 didn't connect to miracast at all. I have the netgear push2tv and my old lg g2 had no problem casting netflix it's just this phone
I've yet to try with 2.x.x.x my miracast dongle is with the rest of my household goods getting speed at the moment
Also what they talk about in that link doesn't seem relevant

The link is partially about DRM from my understanding but yeah I think if its showing on your phone at all, it's not a DRM issue.
Sigh... HTC Media Link HD was a waste of time - couldn't get it to connect at all. Chromecast works perfectly however.
Ordered 2 other miracast dongles to try out but likely won't matter since it's something with the phone.
According to this: http://iezcast.com/bbs-en/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=862 - a firmware update to a dongle seems to have fixed the issue for a nexus 7 user.

HTC Media Link won't show picture from netflix while streaming now since I've updated the os.
Just wanted to add to this a little. I'm seeing the exact same thing on a verizon M8 with the push2TV miracast adapter, and with the miracast functionality built into a samsung TV. Seems like the problem is likely on our end.
Submit a ticket to HTC. Anyone having this problem should.
Any update on this? I modified the build.prop to get miracast working on my Nexus 6, but Netflix still displays a black screen with audio using my Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter. It works fine on a friends Note 4. What's up?

Had the same problem, if this answer is not too late, found my solution, video plays again from my Sprint HTC One m7 and have another download link for a mod on Netflix's app, raising the bitrate tremendously!!!!
Modded Netflix .apk's

Hope this posts, having hangup issues with xda site 4 some reason.

yes
manually Boot an older version of Netflix, turn off auto updates.
I have the same problem with win10 tablet, win 10 laptop, redmi note 2, 3, ulefone power, Samsung galaxy Tab 3 and every other device I could find to miracast Netflix. Everything is ok untill I press play, then...black screen, sound and subs.
I guess it has something to do with Netflix.
Is this new in 4.4.3 or have I just never noticed you can mirror to Chromecast now?
Performs way better than mirracast on my Nexus 4.
Where or how did you come across this....with what device etc....I don't have answers but curious

The button has been showing up on and off for me for a while, but I've noticed with 4.4.3. it says Beta. I tried to click it, but it failed to do anything for me. Is it actually working to mirror the device now?

Is your Chromecast stock, or running Eureka-ROM?
I've got a Stock Nexus 4 with the 4.4.3 OTA
I have 2 chromecast, one UK stock and one US Eureka, works on both.
Yeah it works fine i just pull down quick settings, cast screen, and the chromecast show in there as beta next to the miracast adapter I have.
A photo of me taking a photo using it...

Hahaha, you took a photo with the device you're mirroring with. That's fantastic.
I hope I can finally do mirroring on my SGS3 when it gets 4.4.3!!!
I also see the option but when I try to connect, it says "casting to Chromecast failed ". I wonder if having a rooted device may prevent casting from working. I'm also using a stock but rooted Nexus 4 4.4.3.

If your CCast isn't rooted and running Eureka then Mirroring will fail...
Only ones I know of that can do it without Eureka installed on CCast are those in Spain where the Mirror app is whitelisted.
If the other poster is correct it may also be whitelisted for UK models.

Hi thanks alot for that, Is your nexus rooted?
What I want to know is,
Do you need a nexus
Or is it GENRAL 4.4.3 devices?
Thanks ! Would be great if it was the latter GENRAL 4.4.3 device :d
Sorry I should have seen this post first but I didn't and posted about my Nexus 5 and the 4.3.3 update. I can mirror using my rooted US Chromecast with Eureka-ROM. No sound when running video.
Did there Havey lag or not
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I've got the same setup N5 (stock rooter) and CC (US rooted). The screen casting was there before 4.4.3, it's pretty smooth but the lack of sound is the real kicker. Great for sharing photos.
N4 on 4.4.3 and stock CC (usa) - mirror fails.
Its incredibly ironic to me that Google made JB Miracast compatible but haven't added support for native mirroring in Android. What's more I dont hear any major tech sources talking about it. Last news was that as of 4.3 Google was going to add support for Chromecast mirroring "soon". Its been half a year and doesn't seem to really be a priority for Google. I hope they focus their efforts on this feature for the next major release.
I don't think it's about Android version, but google play services.
Middle East has nothing
Strangely, I got the 4.4.3 update a couple of days ago, but the screen cast option does not show my chrome cast in the list of available devices. It appeared there once, with (beta) in brackets, but never after that - nor does it appear in quick settings.
Stock N5, rooted.
^^^
screen cast needs to be 'triggered' with a chromecast compatible app first. then your CC will show up (and fail to connect) as a screen casting device.
I believe in order to fully sort out how this works (may be same as before), please post
Android Version on the device FROM which you are streaming, whether or not your chromecast is running Eureka ROM, what region your Chromecast is from, and wether streaming has worked for you before.

I have the Allcast premium app for streaming media to my Chromecast. Last night I tried to stream a video from my library and it would not stream for more than 5 - 10 seconds without buffering.
I tried the same file from my 2012 Nexus 7 and streamed flawlessly. Both are running lollipop. Not sure why my Nexus 6 had issues.
Anybody using this app and have similar issues?

It's the app not n6. The app usually can't play a majority of files, my work around was just casting my screen and using MX player.

I too have run across files that had trouble playing. But like I said above I played the same file with the same app from my Nexus 7 without issue.
My Nexus 7 is running lollipop too so its not the app or the OS. Comes down to the Nexus 6. This phone is brand new so I expect there will be a software fix soon.
In the meantime I'll try MX while casting the screen.

for chromecast you can just use the built in cast screen instead but I have also had some issues with allcast.
has anyone tried this app? i cannot get it to work...it goes to a blackscreen , i use compatibility mode, its not HD quality and it lags so bad
im on windows 8.1 pro desktop
anyone else reccamend a good remote app to log into ur PC?
works beautiful on my nexus 7 FHD running 4.4 kitkat
im not sure if its a android 5.01 issue and the app , or its the nexus 6 issue vs app
You can try "teamviewer" from playstore.

My favorite vnc app right now

But if I wasn't using Chrome os for my laptop I would go with teamviewer. Allows you to browse remote file system and push/pull files to the remote system. Can't beat that. Free also.

I use Teamviewer and Microsoft's Remote Desktop
Teamviewer is probably a little easier to setup. Microsoft one you will need to know you IP and forward the ports on your router (if you are connecting from outside your home network.) Both work great.

I'm not sure why you are having trouble. I have used it on my Nexus 6 stock, CM12, and now on 5.1 (Benzo ROM) without issue.
I use remotix, one of the Best apps for connecting over RDP ob VNC. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nulana.android.remotix
not working on my nexus 6 either, works on shield tablet though so probably splashtop needs to update
Chrome remote desktop works decent.
I have been using Splashtop for awhile with no issues...
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=splashtop
you have to make sure to use the normal splashtop app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.splashtop.remote.pad.v2
I use this almost daily, using windows 8.1, I pay the $1.99 monthly to be able to remote over cell network instead of just home wifi.
I think your trouble is that splashtop HD is ment for tablets, I am probably wrong though :/
No issues on regular splashtop
I don't have a nexus 6 yet, "on the way". But try using Splashtop 2 Remote Desktop not the HD. Far as I knew the HD was supported anymore.
