Hi everyone,
Just wondering how I can build chromecast on a Linux machine. I intend to use the chromecast OSS on my spare linux box, connected to a TV and/or Audio to cast to.
I found the sources at the Google hosted site (which is not git) and have downloaded them. Indeed, I'd also built the sources for the default config, it does not work on my x86 Linux (Ubuntu) though.
Can someone help please?
Thanks
Cheers

What sources are you talking about? The Chromecast software isn't open to the public.
Hi there,
Thanks for the response! I'd picked up the sources from Google Drive /folderview ? id=0B3j4zj2IQp7MZkplRzRvcERtaU0 & usp=sharing
Do let me know if those aren't the Chromecast Open Source Sofware Sources.
Thanks
Cheers
yes, they are.
can made the China cheap android box to have chromecast function?

I can share my experience.
If you use Mag-250 and the like, you can make your portal. Look for the Stalker Portal or Ministra app package.
It can be installed directly ready on Windows using the Virtual box. Everything is done automatically. Very simple.
There you create your own TV channels links.

This does not have to do, you will not load a mobile or other device. It can be turned off. Then you can use the Magic Cast application yourself. And through it to transfer links, including YouTube, to your portal over a local network.
Chromecast is a streaming media adapter from Google that allows users to play online content such as videos and music on a digital television maybe Youtube video downloader apk. The adapter is a dongle that plugs into the TV's HDMI port; a cable connects to a USB port to power the device.
And this app has a easy https://topstorevipapp.com/topstore-stopped-working-unable-to-download-errors-fix/Topstore White screen error fix user interface that is simple to apply. So any man or woman can effortlessly navigate through this app. The apps and games protected in this app are properly prepared so that you can quickly discover the apps and games you need. This pleasant and appealing interface has made the app famous among many.

I don't have an Archos but I have a Galaxy 10.1, Asus Transformer, and a Galaxy S phone. I have been trying to figure out how to strap the 10.1 to a headrest and remotely play movies for my son in the back seat and I'm hoping the Archos software would be the key.
Has anyone ripped the Remote Control Server APK from this rom to be used in other tablets/phones. The controller is on the market but the server side is not
Or if someone knows a way to do this that would be great. (Note: DLNA is nice but its a full PUSH and what I want to do is control the media already on the tablet, or use the Sprint 3g on the 10.1 to stream netflix.
I have tried Server VNC for droid, and it breaks on tablets.
Thanks for all your help!
Maybe someone with an Archos and another Android device can analyze what is sended by the other device to the Archos (Wireshark for example)

I am fairly sure this is not an APK, as sin not a simple app. it is a service baked into the system code of the ROM. This kinda of app is not overtly simple to add to android even IF you had all the source to the ROM, which no one does for HC yet.
The only problem is to know what is said on the network. After that, creating the app to communicate with it is "easy".
Am i to understand that you want to stream video to Archos from your Asus/Samsung ?
No, he wants to control his expensive Samsung 101 via a remote.
Something that comes included with any cheap Archos Gen8 ;-)
Expensive
Yes, its more expensive then the Archos but its 3g via Sprint. So I can stream, check email, watch IP cameras for restaurants that I am responsible for. But when traveling with the kids its nice to put in a headrest strap and control it.
Right now my son who is 3 will either tap the screen and freak out because the movie stopped playing, or if he is holding it he ends up stuck in some app. This will allow my wife or myself to start other movies, netflix streams, etc..
Headrest monitors for cars are not cheap (unless you get some really poor generic ones) and once the kids hit 5 years old they will not want to watch a linear movie, they would want to watch and interact with the web. (Humm or maybe I'm the biggest kid in the equation )
Right now I can DLNA push a video to the tablet using BubblePNP (Works great) but its annoying when my phone wifi sleeps or phone calls seem to mess with the connection. Remote control will keep each device truly separate. How many times I have walked out of the car to get gas out of range of the DLNA sharing is annoying.
Here you go...
I Hope this is what you are looking for...
Ripped out...Have Fun!
He doesn't need the remote, he needs the receiver for the Samsung.
I saw the words "remote" and "software" in the OP.
Yes, but he's searching the server side of the remote software ^^
Looks like the best way to get the Archos remote server app is to unpack Archo's firmware and take the server app out.
I found some linux tools that can do this, e.g. using aos-tools
However, my linux skill is only novice level at best, so I don't think I can unpack it successfully and find the remote server app.
Anyone happy to give it a try and share the file?
I see the instructions to unpack can be found here: http://archos.g3nius.org/index.php?title=The_aos-tools_Toolchain
I was looking for such app and Archos seems to the the only company which have a Android remote app right now... I am interested to install the remote server app on my Android phone or tablet and see if it works.
for control the tablet from an android phone you can use DroidMote Server / Client in the android market.
I like the idea of the All Share Play hub, streaming movies direct to my tv this way via wifi would be worth doing (unlike MHL to HDMI which in addition to the tv and phone requires THREE additional components to be connected, including power adaptor).
What I don't like about it is the proprietory nature of it, and the fact that I have no guarantee it will be compatible with my next phone - especially if that phone isn't a Samsung.
This is a new area of interest for me, so excuse my ignorance, but is there not an open standards type of device that can do this, which will allow me to use any phone with it?
Bump.
While I doubt it's as easy to use (AllShare is specifically geared for sharing media AFAIK - I removed it from my phone so I don't really know what it's like), Samba Filesharing will turn your phone into a SMB server (possible alternative: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codesector.droidnas). Samba is GPLed, so on the openness front you're covered. I'm not sure what kind of speeds you would get, though, so try the app (it's free) and mount the share on a GNU/Linux computer and see if it works well for you if you're interested. There's a bit of a shift in the way it works: with AllShare, I believe, you initiate the streaming from your phone. With Samba, you share a folder but have to navigate to it from whatever device it is you're attempting to stream to.
Assuming that you are, if you have a hacked Samsung TV, you can then mount the Samba share from it and start browsing. If not, you can buy small Android devices that plug into your TV for cheap prices - and there are, of course, ways to mount a Samba share on an Android device (along with a WIP port of XBMC, which features SMB browsing anyway).
--
I was high on something. Look into DLNA and using your phone as UPnP Media Server.
Ok I have a spare S3 which i'm not going to use, so i plan to plug it to a TV via HDMI and use it as a multimedia center.
So from what i can see I need 2 things.
1. good app to wirelessly sync files between PC, Tablet, Smartphone and the S3 (option to stream media from the PC would be great as well)
2. A program to remote control the S3 from my other android smartphone
any other advise for the setup is welcome
no suggestions whatsoever? :>
Final attempt to get some advises
i don#t know of any app that is able to handle both, but as a start you might look at xbmc, wich actually is a media center, also avaliable for android.
i'd give you links to sites where you can download it (it's still in beta), but i have not enough posts to do so. you should google XBMC android chip.de
or
xbmc android androidpit
or somtething like this.
Hi there!
I have a question about Miracast compatibility:
As far as I know Miracast Streaming is software related. So majority of 4.2.2+ phones can stream the display. I wonder if it is possible that all the devices act as recievers too?
What I mean is.. if you have an Android TV Box, can you make it work as Miracast reciever so I could stream my android phone to that Android TV Box?
I am looking at some Android Boxes HERE and I see that only THIS ONE "officialy" supports Miracast (as reciever). Is it really the only one with Miracast capability?
Thank you for your time in advance!
Anyone? Please?
miracast need both wifi direct and hardware h.264 encorder.
android source code AOSP 4.2 later, miracast source(sender) and sink(receiver) implemented but all 4.2 devices couldn't execute miracast because hardware ESP encorder didn't support miracast requirements.
my custom rom enables nexus 7 2012 and galaxy nexus as source and sink.

So if I understand you, if a device supports Miracast it can be used in any way (as source or reciever)? So basicly I could send my display from android phone to android TV or vice versa?
miracast supported android phone and tablet, it's a source(sender).
miracast TV, it a sink(receiver).
phone screen to TV using miracast probably succeed, but i heard some failure sample of miracast, like LG TV didn't connect nexus 4 or other combination.
android TV box that "miracast supported", maybe a sink, but i don't know correctly.
in addition, miracast receiver products, that is a sink, connect to TV by HDMI cable, TV become miracast sink supported TV.

Yes they can my android phone can receive and cast (inbuild app called screen projection)
I personally think if it can cast it needs a switch so it can also receive, its a theory im not very familliar with mira cast/receive yet.

What do you mean by 'WiDi connection'? WiDi is Intel's Miracast marketing name. Bouth need activated WiFi to use the WiFi direct feature of your device. An internet connection should not be necessary.

Seems have last been here. Recently I picked up a pixel 6. I'm thinking it had all the functionality I need. Long story short. Went to a meeting and try to cast information to the screens and lo and behold. I needed a Google Chromecast dongle. My previous phone's all had miracasts. Is there a way to install Miracast on a pixel 6? I did look through the forums. I couldn't find anything specifically speaking to this

Mirrorcast and others, like Easycast are apps available in Playstore. There are others as well. Here's some helpful info:

I'd like to have it too.
I just moved to a pixel as my old phone was too old and apps wouldn't support it anymore, but in that one miracast just works. It's total BS that a phone that costs 450-800 euros (depending upon the exact model) just cannot connect to any tv with a standard connection protocol.
I discovered AirBeamTv apps which provide screen casting support but they're quite slow and need an app on both tv and device which is not the best solution and not every smart-tv brand is covered.

It depends on what type of content you want to mirror. If it's DMCA protected content, then you might need a dongle plug in, like Fire Stick, Roku, or other. I use fire Stick, for my Amazon prime videos content, which I then add apps like Hulu to it. Now, since I don't have home WiFi, I use my hotspot for internet connection, for Fire Stick, which is a part of my carrier unlimited plan. Now, if you are only interested in mirroring non-DMCA content, like your own pictures, videos, or browser screen? Then you might need a different dongle. I bought a cheep mirrorcast dongle online, which worked just fine for non-DMCA content.
To my knowledge, Miracast support was dropped out of Android from 6.0 onwards, but most other (not Google) manufacturers have it baked in as one form or another in their ROMs still. Google however does not support any form of Miracast on any of their first party phones, only Google Cast (which I think is Chromecast basically but don't quote me on that), which is proprietary and not compatible with Miracast.
I have tried on a Pixel 3a, 3a XL and a 6 but neither one works with Miracast on stock android.

Can confirm it's good and it's free and it does what it says. It does need some additional setup and relies on adb so I don't think it'd work for something like a TV.
