By installing the most recent google play services it actually finds my device. Tv says connecting to kindle then an icon goes on my kindle status bar then poof screen mirroring ends. Prior to installing google play services it doesn't even see the blu-ray player. I feel I'm getting close.
My galaxy note 2 works perfectly, but that is samsung to samsung. Anyone trying to get this to work without buying a dongle? It should work fine with my player

Hi there cut to the chase.
Issue 1
-----------
I have various laptops / PC with Serviio installed happily streaming to my TV (Samsung 5 Series)
With my old stock ROM (4.2 I think) connecting to the TV was no issue, start video in stock app then click the Allshare icon in the top left and hey presto video on TV. Them my network (3UK) released the 4.3 update and my phone no longer showed my TV, just hung at detecting devices. A couple of times it did work but I have no clue what was different.
I installed BubbleUPNP and that picks up both TV and Laptops so I know the DLNA side of the phone is fine.
I then put various custom ROMs on and found myself more comfortable with Revolutionary S5 and it worked, connected to TV everything okay. Since the first time it will not pick up the TV.
Issue 2
----------
With the Revolutionary S5, there is the S5 video app and that shows Personal, Download and Devices in the top tabs. If I chose Devices it lists my Serviio installations but gives me the message "After you have shared videos on the connected devices they will appear here"
But they are shared as my TV, BubbleUpnp and various other DLNA apps/ programs can play the files.
Does anyone know of any solutions to these ? Or am I stuck using a third party app to play media from my SAMSUNG phone to my SAMSUNG TV ?!
Cheers
I'm looking forward to install any cyanogenmod 12 rom in my mobile but my main objection is getting the stock AllShare Samsung services with any third party app.
Mainly the ability to get the srt subtitles displayed in my Samsung Smart TV.
I've tried with several apps like AllCast and LocalCast and they won't "send" the subtitles to the TV. Any idea or I have to stick to Samsung Roms to get this working?

Hi .
You can download (Tv link) App from samsung store or play store
Hi Guys,
Apparently, the Nexus TV player in the UK has a Now TV App. I was wondering if anyone will be able to provide me with the apk for the app. I tried sideloading the one from the Google Play store, but it loads sideways and I cannot navigate it using the remote. I am hoping this won't be the case with the Now TV app on the UK Nexus Player.
Any one at all? Pretty Please
It is apparently pre-installed on the UK version of the nexus player if that helps?
i'm in the UK and there is no NowTV app for the nexus player in the play store.
there is also no pre-installed app either.
I am in the UK as well and can confirm there is no preinstalled app, if there was one I think this would make me subscribe to the service.
ive only just picked an NP, updated to android 8 'O' and sideloaded a few apps after installing forced landscape app to fix the portrait display of now tv, all4 & itv hub.
i have the latest now tv app running fine apart from errors when i try playing a show. logs in fine & displays full menu & navigates well with mouse. i'm gonna try a fire tv fixed app to see if that works.
unfortunately i had All 4 working completely until this evening when i got an update notice with forces me to the store with no means of updating. itv hub has never worked & iplayer works without issue. a real mixed bag.
thank god it's got chromecast function otherwise i'd be furious with this very limited device. rooting seems inevitable.
I got my tablet today (model: ASUS ZenPad S 8 Z580C-B1-BK) and I was leary of buying a tablet with an intel chip since I've only had tablets and phones with the normal mobile chip makers. I'm not sure if these problems are because of that or not.
The CNN app will play recorded videos fine, but it won't play Live TV. I enter my cable provider, and then it looks like it normally does when it starts to play. It shows the red bars on the top and bottom that control the volume and videotime. Then it stops and says "Unfortunately CNN has stopped".
The Xfinity app won't play any videos. I sign in, and then it looks like the chosen video is going to start, but then it kicks me right back to the page with the show choices.
Is anyone else having this problem? Can someone test either app for me and report back? I need to send this tablet back if these apps aren't working. Other than the browser these are the first few apps I've tried.... Not starting off well at all. I hope I didn't make a huge mistake.
I can confirm exactly the same failure mode for the Xfinity TV Go app on my Zenpad 8 s.
I've tried both smart view (which I believe is only for Samsung smart TVs) and Google home app. I'm trying to cast to my Nvidia shield through the Google home app on the tablet. All I get is a blank screen on the tv. Seems like everything is connected. Home app sees the tv and I hit cast to it and the tablet shows that its casting but all I get on the tv is a blank screen. Anyone else having this issue??

I am able to cast via Smartview to my Sony smart TV, Chromecast and Microsoft wireless display adapter on my desktop Monitors. The casting is a little finnicky when my Smart TV is running an app, e.g. YouTube video, otherwise it works fine for me.
Have no luck to do the reverse casting to the tablet via Smartview though.
I'm having issues as well.
Can't cast from my Tab S6 to the Shield.
The screen goes black but nothing happens.
After a while "screen casting has ended" is shown on the tablet.
Casting from my S10 works just fine though.
No idea what's going on.
I am also unable to cast via the google Home app, just black screen then a message saying casting has stopped of something. I can still cast content from the tablet to the Shield such as video from a streaming app,
Connected
I too was having the same exact issue. All was working fine until recently. What I did was used my phone to connect to Shield via smartview. Once connected I opened smartview on the tablet and was able to connect. I only tried once, however I searched rebooted, etc... Still couldn't find a way until today. Good luck I see it's been awhile since last post.
Yep. Also cannot cast screen to my Sony TV - Neither with Smart View nor Google Home. This is either a problem exclusive to the Tablet, Android 9 or root.
My Galaxy S10 can cast to my TV without any issue, running Android 10 and NOT rooted.
What firmware ect is everyone running? I'm on Pie, SK1 and rooted.
Are you guys using a VPN? If so, try disabling it and try again.
