Hello guys,
i've been a sony user for years now and recently decided to join the Huawei community. So some days back i got myself a pretty P10 (L29).
I noticed that in the quick drawer menu (pull down from homescreen), there is no cast button. I usually do that to connect wireless to my soundbar which supports google cast.
Now, i know the phone supports cast and even audio casting, coz it works through an app called screen mirroring in app store. The app does exactly the same thing as the cast option in the quick drawer.
Now, is there a way to get the cast button in the quick menu?
Cheers
Would like to know as well

Found it though I don't believe it supports Chrome Cast.
I have 2 Chrome keys in the house and it can't see them.
Actually the mirrorshare feature on huawei supports miracast technology which is different from google cast.
I know the phone supports google cast, only the quick option is missing in the app drawer..Maybe in EMUI 8 it will be present

CCast is capable of mirroring but it does not use Miracast to do so and currently Google has not supported the feature yet.
We KNOW it is capable of doing it as it does it on the PC side in the Googlecast Ext for chrome.
I do expect they will support it in the future and if not them then some 3rd Party Dev will make it and Google will hopefully white list it.
Mirroring has some concerns over Privacy and I'm sure Google doesn't want to allow an unsecure implementation that could get the bad rep of being a privacy problem and send the concept into the scrap heap.

LOL it's hard enough to get people to read and search for previous posts that have solved their problem here... you expect them to start using Google too?
Just FYI to everyone....we KNOW the CCast can do Mirroring as the GoogleCast Ext for chrome does this already on the PC. Unfortunately the holdup on seeing this on the Android side is not the Chromecast but Chrome itself!
The Mobile versions of Chrome do not at this point support Chrome Extensions which means you can't run the Googlecast extension at this time.
If you have a PC click on the Googlecast icon, Look in the upper right hand corner of the menu it presents click on the little down arrow, and see that you can Cast an Entire Screen (noted as Experimental).
So the CCast has this capability!
Just a matter of creating an App for Android and iOS that does this, Making it secure for Privacy concerns, and Whitelisting it.
The fact they are experimenting with it on a PC tells you everything you need to know about Google's Intentions regarding Mirroring.
It's coming the only thing we don't know is when!

Is there a way to have apps such as Netflix send to Chromecast by default?
I have a tablet dedicated to chromecast control but have to tell it to use chromecast each time in each app.
I'd settle for having to tap the cast icon each time but that I have to then specify which chromecast to send to when I only have one is infruriating.

While I'm sure it could be done but it wouldn't make sense to do because what happens when you want to watch something on the tablet or phone?
Consider this...With the right TV the two Cast button presses are in lieu of having to change the input on the TV since selecting a CCast will change the input for you and even turn the TV on if it was off.
Also, as mentioned elsewhere, the Cast button is designed to a pop-up menu, giving the option to disconnect, as well as see the label of the Chromecast.
I can understand the convenience, but I actually prefer the two-tap, with the AllCast beta which supported "always use this Chromecast" for single-click use, I had accidentally tapped and turned on the TV. Then I had to get the TV remote to turn the TV off, since Chromecast doesn't do that.
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?

Yes. Just the latest Chrome.
Chrome works fine. So does netfix hulu youtube plex
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
My LG TV SJ810V doesn't natively support Google Home/Chromecast, is there a way to install it in some ways or make it recognizable by Google Home in someways?
Like I have got many wifi remote control apps that are working with my tv, can't understand why Google Home cannot, even trough that apps.
The TV is a pretty new model and at the moment I have WebOS 5.x
I know that chromecast could be a solution but I hate redundancy cause my TV can already do what a chromecast can do.

The answer is no, you can't. From what i learned, google home only casts to chromecast/android tv/android boxes.

Same here, my webos tv is working well with Netflix and YouTube (and of course lg tv plus), but not with Google Home. This is because Netflix and Youtube support DIAL (which is what the Chromecast is based on).
Even though I can use the cast option on YouTube the system does not detect any wireless display on the network so I can't mirror my phone's screen or cast downloaded videos. Is anyone else facing a similar issue?
