Cast / Mirroring Icon - Notification Pull Down Menu? - Galaxy View Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

is this feature stock on the galaxy view? i don't have the icon in my notification / quick settings pull down menu, nor does it appear if i select edit to show the available icons... further, does the galaxy view actually have a mirroring app that allows you to cast your tablet to your tv, that mirrors exactly what you see on your tablet, as opposed to just being able to cast when in certain apps, such as video player?
i'm using chromecast ultra and once the google home app has been installed on the galaxy view, casting to a tv works fine, however there are like 6 steps (clicks) you have to go through in order to finally get to "cast screen / audio".
what i'm ultimately trying to accomplish is cast my galaxy view to my tv with as few steps as possibly, 2 clicks at the most, am i dreaming?

[Q] Android STB video player navigation

Hi,
Im developing an android application that plays video using the native android player on a Set top box.
The application works fine but I have 1 strange issue with the control over the video player.
If I would like for example to navigate within the video to another time I would like to load the bottom navigation bar(that shows me the time of the video and be able to move forward/backwards or slide to a different time inside the video).
In my remote control(image attached) I need to click on the Zoom-in button in order for that to load.
This is very strange.
Is there a way to change it so the OK button or the movement buttons will pop the navigation bar?
Thanks in advance for any help

[Q] MHL not mirroring everything on screen??

My question is i bought an mhl cable and it seems to work ok, but it doesn't seem to mirror the "hud" in movie apps or youtube. For instance, when you're watching a movie player and you tap the screen the options come up (like the little bar where you move the dot to go to a different place in the movie) but with mhl it won't mirror to the tv. When i go to youtube i have no way of changing the options or anything like that (i use a bluetooth keyboard so I'm on the couch) It will show up on the phone (like normal) but it's just not showing up on the tv. Just the video is but no overlaying options or anything like that.
does anyone know how to get the settings to show up? It's really frustrating!!

Kodi / XBMC hide Home UI and launch video remotely

Hi,
I have a strange use case for Kodi / XBMC - I want to use it as a media player but dont want the home menu UI to appear. I would rather have the home launcher show up. I launch videos remotely to Kodi.
I have root access to the device and I tried this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2057372 but the Home.xml is embedded the the libxbmc.so
Any ideas would be appreciated!

I've tried other forums, hopefully you can help.. Screen Rotation

Hello, I have a Minix Neo X8H Plus. Basically a TV box running Android.
Everything is running brilliantly apart from some apps require portrait orientation to access settings, for example CCTV viewer apps, and TuneIn Radio...
There are no settings for display rotation, and I have tried all the top apps for forcing screen rotation with no luck.
Does anybody have a solution? So happy with this new device, I just want to be able to view my CCTV cameras and playback on my TV but unable to as the settings are hidden in portrait menus. I also don't want to lose my current settings and Nova launcher home screen setup, and hours of playing around, trying out different widgets, icon sizes, etc,etc it's finally perfect.
Thank you :good:

Youtube on Android Tabled

Hi,
Youtube on my Lenovo yoga tab 11 does not have any action assigned to swipe from the bottom, just does not do anithing. while on my android phones, and even on Chromecast I get a list of related videos when I swipe from the bottom (press down on Chromecast, scroll down on windows while full screen)
Is that an option that I should enable, or are there different versions of Youtube?
Thanks,
Daniel
