Hey all,
i am looking for an app to screencast from my rooted 4.2 Jellybean tablet.
I found various "screencast" or "screenmirror" app that allow me to take videos of my screen OR apps to stream "ANY VIDEO!!!" from my phone to my chromecast...
Officially, screen mirroring is available from 4.4 KitKat.
The only casting i can do is app-specific like Youtube, Google Music - but there is non to simply cast my whole screen
There is this ominous app called #MirrorEnabler (http://lifehacker.com/mirror-enabler-brings-chromecast-screen-mirroring-to-mo-1604683876) - but it vanished completly from the forum...
Background: Im trying to bring my Amazon prime videos to my chromecast... i have the videos running on my (legacy) tablet in the amazon app (which doesnt support chromecast), but not on my TV just yet
Thanks!

I got the Galaxy tab 10.1, but I don't see a Google TV applicaton which plays video contents on Android Market.
I am little confused. will there exist an application to play Google TV content? or We need to buy a Google TV device?
Since I already have the galaxy tab (the hardware), it has android as the OS, it should be more powerful than any Google TV devices (Sony, Logitech Google TV devices), why there still don't have an application to play Google TV on my Tab. Just like the NetFlix app to play Netflix on my tablet.
I heard the Google TV content is free, isn't it?
Will it possible a Google TV app available to my tablet in the future? So I can decide if I need to buy a Google TV device?
Can someone educate me?
Thanks

I have the Sony Google TV device. There's no such thing as a "Google TV app." It's a totally different UI that interfaces with your cable box which it uses as a source of content. It's big advantage is that it allows you to search for content that exists both on cable TV and the Internet at the same time. For example, if you're looking for a specific movie or show it'll search your cable provider, Netflix, and Amazon, and participating networks (there aren't many, they're boycotting Google TV) and display all the choices at the same time. All the apps and content that exist on the TV version of Honeycomb are available in some form on phones and tablets. And any content available for free isn't coming from Google, it's coming from the content providers so if it's free on TV it's free on your phone or Tab.
Expecting Google TV apps being developed for Tablet PCs
Thanks Barry!
Now I understand a bit more about the Google TV. I looked at the Sony blue-ray player (featuring Google TV) and found out it does not need a cable TV input. This means all the video content it searches/plays are from the internet/local USB devices.
This is very similar to my Samsung D8000 smart TV which is internet connected and has the search function built-in (it can find and play movies/videos from YouTube, Netflix,Hulu etc) except is is not Google TV "certified".
I think in theory, the Google TV (content) does not require a extra hardware (like Sony or Logitech players) if you already have a tablet that connects to the Internet. Tablets can play the Google TV content as long as they have an application which can search and plays videos. So, I believe it is just a matter of time for applications be developed for existing tablets (android OS or iPad).
Please correct me if my hypothesis is wrong.
Thanks for your answers!
I picked up a Chromecast recently, and would like to use my Nook Tablet (16g) with it. Nook is running Succulent's Android KitKat 4.4.4. I have Pandora, Netflix, Youtube, and Chrome(beta) Browser all streaming to the Chromecast. Hulu is the missing piece of this puzzle- I have the latest version of the app but there's still no Chromecast icon. After searching, found a Hulu help page with bad news: [/I]"* At this time, Hulu Plus is not available to stream through iPod touch, Kindle Fire, Nook, or Windows Phone 8 to Google Chromecast."[/I] Bummer.
Anybody found a way to get this to work? A special Hulu .apk, a different ROM, or maybe a modified build.prop? Something else?
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.
Hi all,
I'm searching for an Android Browser able to cast tabs on TV via Chromecast and I'm wondering that seems that it does not exist. I thing it shouldn't be so difficult because PC version of Chrome browser already support this feature.
Any help or suggestion?
Thanks a lot
There is a Cast Screen option in Android for Casting things like websites to your TV
If you want to stream videos from websites to your Chromecast I would recommend the app webvideocast
I am searching for some too.. the issue I have is that if I cast my entire screen and try to watch a video.. it shudders because it is playing on both screens...
I am using this app:
