The most stable app for casting video from windows to android - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I've tested lots of apps for casting video from win to android with no that success. for example Kodi is one of best one but it fails after casting some video. one of its problems is that after some videos it can't find remote devices either. I couldn't understand what's the source of the problem. I had to turn my devices off and on most of the times to solve it. It's really frustrating.
Can any body tell me which app or way is a stable way for such a thing?

Youtube as a desktop app

I have a stand alone android device that supports bluetooth (keyboard and mouse) and has hdmi out. i use it to play videos, watch youtube, listen to music on my tv.
here's my problem.. some youtube videos are blocked on "mobile" devices.
I'm using the device basically as a pc (running android os) but theres no setting to have the youtube app report to youtube that its not a mobile app. does anyone have any other app suggestions? (that you can install on a android device, but report to youtube that their a browser.
any suggestions? are you a developer? write this app! ill buy a copy!! (and beta test)
there has to be both people in my situation and people who just want to watch all videos on their android devices.

remix os for video playback problem

remix os is great for some productivity stuff but since i have tried it for a week but no way around it plays videos on youtube or anyother streaming app or site so lets assume that this is a bug and i hope devlopers at jide will try to remove it in upcoming update. but until then if you want to play some video offline you can use vlc android app and it works fine on remix.

Having this problem too, and from what I've seen in the forums alot of people are facing it as well.
As a temporary solution, try BSPlayer. It's the only video playing app I tried that works at the moment. A bit clunky but functional.
Hopefully this will be fixed with the the coming updates =)
EDIT: I tried VLC player, but for some reason it crashes the entire OS for me xD
its to do with the graphics...my system can play full HD videos and 3D games like CSR2
try this....it might help:

I can confirm that on my Intel Core i3 with integrated hd 2000 YouTube works fine, video playback is fine, but on my older 24inch msi ae2400 that has an Amd 4670 mobile gpu video playback doesn't work and YouTube doesn't work. So i think its to do with the Amd video drivers, not sure if NVIDIA cards have a better driver, but intel gpu's seem ok
Youtube videos stream when I request the desktop version of the site in a web browser. This is not a graphics problem. There seems to be something wrong in mobile mode and something right in desktop mode. The browser proves it. Youtube and all those other apps must be running in mobile mode and that is where it seems the problem is. Try it... . Run Youtube in a browser in Desktop Mode --not mobile mode. Request Desktop Mode in a browser. @aayush97 @StormShadow_94 @freelancer81 @p3dboard

Good that you took the trouble to find the solution to the problem.
For me, I can't use internet as it does not detect my usb wifi dongle.
Maybe install opera/opera mini and see....that's what I use anyway.....I dislike stock browsers.
Or better yet, use the official youtube app...more feature rich and stable than browsers.

You need a browser with "a request desktop version" option. I don't think opera mini has this option. Moreover and probably a topic for another thread, in relation to your wifi problem, you could use somebody's android or apple smartphone to create a mobile wifi hotspot for your remix os computer to connect to. It will work. All smart phones have a mobile wifi hotspot.

thanks for the suggestion....about the browser.
opera mobile or opera mini (which i am using on my note 10.1 has that option.
regarding wifi hotspot.....if my pc has no wifi, how could i connect to any wifi hotspots?
anyways, i am not using it (RemixOS) as a go to OS yet....just trying out....so...no need for internet.
thanks again!
I can play videos in Chrome and VLC just fine, however MX Player simply crashes when opening the video (even the Remix Mini video). The laptop I'm testing it on has a Core i5-3317U with Intel HD 4000 graphics.
Thanks for the suggestions =)
I forgot to mention that despite video playback not working in the Youtube and Facebook apps (haven't tried others yet), they play fine when viewed from the web browser. On Chrome, clicking and holding the video itself even pops up a "save video" option; an added bonus =P
For me this is how I use Youtube and Facebook on Windows anyway (through Chrome not the standalone apps) so it doesn't bother me at all. I play local videos using BSPlayer and they play great and they have subtitle support.
Only thing I'm struggling to get working are games. Not one single game works and an OS crash is always caused. I'm using an Nvidia gpu (GT 315 to be precise..... I know it's a very crappy one xD). Hopefully we'll get better compability in the coming updates =)
Intel Mobile GME 965 Express Graphics Card (Compaq 610)
Installed 3.0.201 Still problems when playing Netflix, Youtube etc videos from the app. Video freezes very soon while audio continues. When playing videos from Chrome browser no problem. I have a Compaq 610 with Intel Integrated Mobile GME 965 Graphics Card. When will Remix support this?
Cheers,
Patrick
problem is the video cards. to at least be able to watch youtube, just open the youtube app, click on the three dots top right of the video window and choose video quality of 360 or less and you will be fine.........

It is posible to emulate android camera from a video stream?

Hello guys. So, to make a long story short, I would like to know if it is possible to emulate the android camera from a video stream/another video source. In the event of facebook live videos, i would like to make some live transmisions from a stream (some kind of youtube live). The problem is that you can make this kind of things (for now) only from facebook app. So: facebook acces the camera, but i would like to trick the app into accesing another video source. I understand that this would not be possible on a phone, but maybe there's a solution on Remix OS or an android emulator.
So, is there a solution to this problem?

Android Web Browser to cast Tab to Chromecast

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:

Stream Deck for Android ?

Hi android enthusiast.
I wonder if you around here are also into PC game streaming. Like on Twitch or on youtube.
If so, you might have fallen over the new Elgato Stream Deck Hardware: https://www.elgato.com/en/gaming/stream-deck
Do you guys know if something similar and software based exists for Android?
Wouldn't it be great to manage your Streams but with your mobile phones?
Maybe one of you Magic Devs on here has a bit free time and could look into it and maybe it's possible to have an android stream deck on time.
regards
I know this is an ancient question, but just in case anyone is wondering you can create something similar using Tasker to do anything on an android. You can create a UI using AutoTools WebView. There are many ways to interface with the PC, but the integrated one would be to use Join and EventGhost.
