I downloaded MirrorEnabler.apk here in XDA and installed it and seems it is not compatible to our rooted HAM2, anyone able to make it work, share the L.
In the meantime I found a way to cast any video to Chromecast from our HAM2's browser.
First we need to download 2 apps (both are free):
-Firefox
-vCast
Now using the Firefox browser look for any video flash or mp4 as long at it plays on the Firefox browser it can be cast to Chromecast:
Like this one:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then play the video:
Then while video is playing, touch and hold the video:
After that this menu will pop up and touch the one I pointed:
Before choosing vCast make sure your TV is on and is on the Chromecast :
let the video plays a bit on vCast then you can exit or pause the video that is playing on your Firefox browser, remember we played it a while ago. After that when the video is on your chromecast you can turn off firefox or exit it.
For some reason sometimes I tried exiting vCast it still plays on the chromecast, some times it doesn't.
By the way make sure you go to settings>power saving>protected apps>put a shade on the circle beside the vCast app.
I am still testing this so if you found a bug let me know so I can edit the guide.

Is anyone having trouble with flash videos? I have flash installed and the video on web page says I don't.
Which webpage? I can give it a try.
Ditto. Dailyshow.com and Colbertnation.com weren't connecting when I click on the videos. After upgrading to Flash player 10.3 on market I get a icon for flash videos that look like a small blue house and nothing happens when I tap on it.
Works just fine for me

Ita only possible with the standard webbrowser, not (yet) with FireFox :/

Hey, thanks for the replies.
I tried the dailey show and it worked. But my local news stations, CNN and things like that do not.
The same ones that do not work on Flyer work on my phone (Captivate).
Anyone have any other ideas?

Ii can watch CNN.com in Dolphin HD browser. I like the tabs. Also have Flash 10.3.
I think I have found what the issue was. I was using peep and it's viewer and there and only there is where it kept saying I needed flash player.
Using any other twitter app worked just fine and worked fine with the browser.
Not sure why peep does not work. I really liked it in landscape.
Sitting watching a recorded TV show last night which was streaming from a hard drive i have connected to my Xbox360 when suddenly it cut off and another video started to play. Turned out my step son was messing about with his new Note 10.1 tablet and had clicked on the icon to share the video. I have been trying to get this feature to work on my S3 for ages but it doesnt work. I have ensured file share etc is all set up, set to share pics, music and movies. I get the option to scan for devices and select both my xbox and my Panasonic TV that is connected to my WIFI network, one point here is that i can place a tick in the boxes for the various devices but there is no save option, i have to back out from the selection screen. When i go back in later the ticks are no longer there so i am not sure if they are saved. Anyway this is really bugging me as i hate being beat with things like this. I have read loads of postings and i know lots of people have this feature and it "just worked". Has anyone had problems getting it to work and found some step i am perhaps overlooking. Any help appreciated.
I assume you tried it via settings/other settings/dlna?

I'm using BubbleUPnP, found that it's a lot better than the default functionality.

Ok it now gets weird. I installed Bubbleupnp and it worked well. Then found that even without it running that the files on my phone will now do what it should as far as streaming goes. If i go to a video, song or pic, the icon now appears on phone screen to stream directly to TV via xbox 360. Cheers for the help.
One of the issues with using Netflix in multi-window is that the player pauses when its window loses focus. With this "trick" we can make the Netflix player think the focus was not changed. Thanks to tarheeldan for sharing his experience with it.
It's really very easy.
1) Load Netflix and another app you want to use in multi-window.
2) Play a movie/tv show. While the player is loading, touch the other window to bring it into focus.

3) The video should play while you have full control of the other window.
Of course touching the netflix window will bring it back into focus and pause it again when you leave it. Just repeat the steps above to make it stop pausing again.
I'm including a build of Netflix I modified to add portrait and rotation support if you want it:
Netflix 2.1.0 build 725 - http://goo.gl/cx8IS
This build will not detect market updates, though. I'm using this build, so I'll probably manually update versions occasionally.
Awesome! Can't wait to try this later. Thanks!
The app was already added in the non rooted add apps to multi-window, but I appreciate the tip!

Your portrait mod of the Netflix app works perfectly! Thanks!
I received a gmail with a .mov attachment. Is there is any way to play it on my completely stock note2? I did some searching and MX Player was suggested. I downloaded it, but still get the same message when I click on the attachment stating that I don't have an app to open .mov.
Thanks.
MX player should play it. I've had issues in the past with mx where it wouldn't play something after an update. An uninstall and reinstall did the trick. Of that doesn't work, search xda for vlc media player. I used that on my evo 3d. Not sure if there's a version that works on the note 2 but it's worth a try.

I think I just figured out the problem. Before, I had download mx player, but had not opened it up, assuming that android would find the app. This time, I first opened mx, and then touched the attachment and it worked fine.
Thank you for the response.

I 've liked the first look for time playing but 1/4 was advertisment. And after some seconds I had full screen advertisment. I can't see now why I should change back from default player.
