Nexus 4 Miracast is working with NetGear PTV3000

When I opened Nexus 4 and NetGear PTV3000 and they could not make connection because PTV3000 is still not Miracast certificated device.
I download one beta firmware 2.2.2 and upgrade the PTV3000. When it reboot and show its new ID on TV, Nexus 4 can locate and connect it.
I test some game and movie and TV can mirror the display of Nexus 4 perfectly. I think NetGear will get this device to get certification i early 2013 and release official firmware to assure 100% perfect stream between PTV3000 and Nexus 4.
How to locate PTV3000 ? Follow this steps: Setting -> Display -> Wireless Display.

Thanks! but I'm confused. It updated fine. and now it responses to be device as well. my TV says "Connecting to wireless display" while showing green wifi bars and my device says its connected.. but nothing after that..
Although it made a random group named DIRECT-zj .. also while waiting for it to connect, I noticed there's a wireless network available with same name as the that group (DIRECT-zj). It says WPS available but WPS receiver didn't work. its WPA2 encrypted and I cant think of any password. I think i need to connect to that group to proceed??

I can confirm that with the 2.2.2 firmware for the ptv3000 I have my Verizon GS3 working. I am running bone stock 4.1.1
The only thing is that my phone says there is an update to AllShare Cast but it then says my device isn't supported so I guess I am running an old bersion of AllShare Cast.
Anyway, this is definitely a step forward

BTW, can Nexus 7 works with it?

Yes! It works finally. It takes several tries to connect and gets choppy at times, but works nonetheless.

Do you guys think the NetGear PTV would be a good replacement for a 1st generation roku? I have one and I'm debating whether to buy one and replace my roku or not

I have a Roku. Depends on what type of content you plan on viewing. If you're an Amazon Prime member then stick with Roku because there's no good, clean, pretty way to watch Amazon Instant Video on Jellybean devices anymore.
If you watch Netflix, Hulu, HBO Go our any other programming that has a dedicated Android app to play content then mirroring should be fine.
Personally I'll be keeping my Roku 2 XS and getting a Miracast-compliant adapter soon to have the best of all works.
The only thing that's keeping me from buying right now is lag in sound/video...
Is the lag noticeable when playing movies via PTV3000?
Sent from my Nexus 4

There is no lag when viewing videos on monitor. There is a fraction of a second lag from phone to monitor. But you'll be watching the monitor so you'll be ok.

Certainly not as good as wired HDMI, but I have no complaints with the quality. I watched some youtube videos, played slingbox and played angry birds with < 1 - 1 second lag and little to no artifacting streaming from my N4. I would say it preformed much better than what I was expecting.
Took me about 5 minutes to update and 10 minutes later it was up and running without a problem.

Which one should I buy: Netgear PTV3000 or the Actiontec?

Connected but won't play google play videos
I am connected on 2.2.2 but it will not play google play videos. Anyone else having a problem playing google play videos? I hit play and it just sits with the circle spinning. If I disconnect the video starts to play fine. If I try to play a pinned video it ask me to unpin first. I can play other videos fine just not from google play.

Hi guys,
Adding in a few thoughts and a couple pictures next to a HTC Media Link HD for comparison.
+++ Pluses +++
= Much, much, smoother display than HTC's trinket (Media Link lags on basic things like a Live Wallpaper. The PTV3000 doesnt)
= No lag or stuttering to report whatsoever.
= Uniform performance all around the OS.
= It's a wireless display! You can actually USE THE PHONE NORMALLY and move around; you're not hooked to a wire. Want to share something? Tap ON. Done with it? Tap OFF.
= Also works with most recent Intel-based laptops as well.
= Miracast licence is free! Expect MANY wi-fi enabled devices to go for that free and usefull feature!
--- Minuses ---
= Half a second delay (not lag - delay.. Yes, there is a difference.) Playing fast-paced games is nearly impossible. You can wirelessly display your prowesses, tough.
= No split screen function like on HTC's One line; mirroring only.
= Can't start a video and turn off the phone's screen; it'll turn off as well. You've gotta let it on. Battery drains accordingly.
= You gotta use a beta firmware for now (Tough it is beta only because they says so; havent seen a single real bug yet.
= Some stupid ass at Netgear thought it would be better to use a MINI-USB plug (Instead of the MICRO-USB most things like android phones have). Havent seen one of those for a while! - Means you won't be swapping cables.
If you have questions, let me know!

hangs at connecting?

Miracast issue with Nexus 4 running Stock 4.2.2 & Netgear PTV3000 firmware 2.2.9
I'm having the same issue.
I just bought the PTV3000 to hook up to my SONY Bravia for my Nexus 4 since I seen its compatibly to both devices and I get it home make sure both devices are up to date and they don't connect it acts the same as what you mention. It sees the device it attempt to connect to it but never connects to it at all.
Google: LG Nexus 4 is running "Android 4.2.2 factory ROM" straight from Google have not messed with the device in any way.
I used the stock firmware on the PTV3000 not sure what it was but did not work. I then updated the firmware to v2.2.9 which is the latest firmware as of (today: 02/25/2013 10:10pm CST) which was downloaded directly from here: support [Dot] netgear [Dot] com [Backslash] product [Backslash] PTV3000
If I don't see a fix in the next few days I will be returning the device to Best Buy where I bought it. Hope there's a fix in the works.
I also posted on the Official Netgear forum's found here: forum1 [Dot] netgear [Dot] com [Backslash] showthread [Dot] php?t=83795

I'm having the same issue. I wonder if its the 4.2.2 that's causing the issue

Split Browser for Android is Chromecast ready!

Split Browser version 2.9.0 (and trial 2.4.0) are Chromecast ready! Give it a try and let us know what you think. Cast away!!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appestry.split_browser_trial

Why didn't your post the playstore links?
Tried the app, couldn't cast anything (hoped for entire tab casting, later saw it should allow only casting various videos on various webpages).
Maybe it works and would appeal to some but it's not really intuitive..

This gives vGet some competition. Thanks for letting us know.

Does this only cast sites of services already compatible with chromecast? I tried it on videos at amctv.com and couldn't get it to work.

Check out the Chromecast description, not all videos will cast, and that makes sense.
Amctv.com videos aren't in a format that the native Chromecast player understands.

Thank you. Tab casting is cool idea, but it will drain the phone battery just like screen mirroring (Miracast). Let's see if we can make that happen with Chromecast.
Added the links to Play store as well.

How long did it take to implement this?

About a month initially with the Chromecast "preview" SDK and then a week to update it after the final SDK was released. It took longer because we didn't use the Cast SDK's companion library. We didn't like the default look and feel of Google's remote control buttons all squished up in one corner of the screen. Hope it helps.

...and with the latest update of vGet and its unusually high cost, this browser looks like a sweet deal. I might give it a better test this time around

Maybe this would be a good community to post a beta on for a version that supports 4.4

Do you need an app to mirror any Android devices to Chromecast?

I am thinking of releasing an app that can mirror any android devices (starting from Android 2.3 up to android 5.1) to Chromecast receiver.
Since google's Chromecast app can support quite a lot devices, I am not sure if there are still enough interests to mirror android devices with old versions？or to mirror new android devices that Chromecast app do not support?
I did develop such an app, but never released it to public, it's working quite well actually.
Please let me know if you are interested in it, and I can post free versions here.

Please , go ahead. and Let us have a look at it .

We will release a version that works on rooted devices first, just to check our native implementation for the chromecast mirroring protocol.
Yes, we also have a miracast receiver, more info will be revealed here.
Thanks for your patience on this app.

Is this still in the making? Really want to screen cast my mx3 android box to my Chromecast

@timdoggg, Yes, it's beging developed, and working very well, but right now, it requires rooting to get the audio. Can you tell me your Android version? why is google Chromecast app not working for your device?
I will try to post something in this thread late this month.

Have a rooted Nook HD+( on CM12.1 - lollipop 5.1 ) and chromecast 2015(new version). Regular casting works fine, but there is something preventing mirroring . When hitting casting selection the screen abruptly disconnects. I've tried a program called Mirrorenabler and it also will not mirror. A report by someone using CM11 and some custom rom reported mirroring working fine on Nook HD+ so its not a hardware issue. Does anyone have any thoughts ??
Thanks,
Al

In order for Chromecast app mirror to work, google play services must be installed into system partition. Your android most likely does not have it.
Our Chromecast sender app does not use Google play services, so it should work, please visit this thread later for the apk.

Hey,
I can also confirm that unfortunately on Nook HD+ on CM12.1 mirrorenabler doesn't work, nevertheless on cm11 latest built mirror enabler works great. But still both CM11 and CM12.1 for me are unstable, actually cm12.1 is worst for me getting a lot of download and apps installation slow down, on cm11 I get a lot of keyboard droppings when typing in the browser but gennerally the experience is a lot better.
So would love to test on stock (4.0.4) your app apparently with root.
Thanks

My CM12.1 on Nook HD+ is not as good as 5.01 that I previously had. If you get Trickster Mod ( to increase responsivness ) and increase read ahead buffer 768 and get Glove Xperia ( to adjust screen sensitivity if needed ) you might like CM12.1 better

As I wrote, go to your phone, to folder - Oculus, then 360Videos and put it there.
Then open 360Videos app and it will appear right in front of you.

Amazon Prime Video without HD playback

Hi.
I'm having a problem with Amazon Prime Video app on my Mi 9 device. The problem is that I can't watch HD content from Prime Video app on my Mi 9. At first, I thought that it was the problem somewhere to be found in the settings of the app but soon I realized that it was not the case. It looks like my Mi 9 doesn't support HD playback. It is strange because I have Widavine L1 certification (I checked) and Netflix in HD works perfectly on my Mi 9. So where's the problem? I did a little search out and I found nothing about this problem. Maybe some of you have heard about it and can say something more? Or maybe you have already figured it out? If so, please let me know 'cause I can't find anything about this problem and without HD amazon prime looks like s**t.
