[HOWTO] Chromecast Mirroring (screen mirroring) - Google Chromecast

Hello everyone,
So I got my Google Chromecast today and after a bit of messing around I found this cool neat feature that allows you to mirror your entire display to the chromecast device.
This is how you do it.
1) In Google chrome browser on your computer click the Google cast extension and then click the little arrow in the extension and select "cast entire screen (experimental) I've attached a screenshot.
{
"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"
}
2) after completing step one select your chromecast device and walla you see your screen on your TV
This seems to be an experimental feature so let me know how it works for you, so far I've tested it on my Linux Mint 15 laptop and it works nicely there is a minor delay but at least its something

Nice Find!!
It would be great if the audio also worked it streams xbmc great but not audio

FYI: Need Chrome Beta for this to show.

This is really cool, nice find.
I hope audio works through this in the future!

Make video please

Chrome beta allows you to shoot to your tv? I am looking for the option but dont see it !

Do you see the arrow in the upper right corner when you press the chromecast button in chrome?

lol my TV IS my computer monitor actually. I just use the Chromecast for when I dont want to start up my pc ,,,but I will check shortly

You can cast just audio from that menu too.

How good is the screen mirroring? If it works well with no lag, I may use this to cast some PC games to the TV!

Have yet to try a game but there is definitely lag, (~ a half a second?) just scrolling the web page but audio is good, video is good, and the audio/video sync seems to be fine.
Right now I'm casting Google Play Music from my average, 1 year old, Toshiba laptop, to my cheap-ass, Insignia TV, listening to Taj Mahal tear-up the guitar.
Life Is Good!

Not howto video, but the video of the result, to see lag. I haven't chromecast and interested to see is it good enough to use for screen mirroring. Thanx.

oh, fair enough.
i don't think it's any laggier than the tab projection so you should look up videos of that on youtube for an idea.

There is a half a sec up to 2 sec lag so I don't think it's suitable for gaming unless someone finds a way to lower the lag somehow.
Also I use the stable version of chrome on Linux and it works so I don't know maybe for windows the beta version of chrome is needed.
The biggest down side for me is that audio is not working in the desktop cast mode

it doesnt even work for me.the CC doesnt respond to me clicking the cast entire screen (im on chrome stable)

Well when I use Netflix off my phone there is a real slight delay and it takes a few seconds after that for the proper resolution to kick in.. So if your game is lag dependant like a shooter etc.. I would be hesitant

Can someone test this Chrome extension on Chromecast. Media Player allows you to play video from your chrome browser. Just drop video into blank tab.

My new favorite browser, I saw it on the market last night and downloaded it to test it out. Love how it can load up videos that you used to not be able to load...only problem is that it takes forever to do so because it converts them on the fly.
I get FC anytime I try to open it. oh well.
Nice!
I've been using this for a couple of days now... It is MUCH better than the standard browser or Opera Mini.

It's nothing superb, it just has features that standard browser lacks. Browser is too "basic".
fast access to anything through gestures
nice context menu on long touch on something, which includes zooming (so buttons don't cover up webpage)
auto rotation of screen without page reload (and it is very fast too)
fast tab switching through moving out (left or right) of a webpage
caching webpages: if you load up some page, then exit browser, run something else, so browser will be killed and then return back, Dolphin will load this page from some kind of cache
Why is this in the dev forum?
And this browser doesn't work with hulu.
Nice browser....but
On some website, it just exit and I'm back at my G1's home screen.
Any ideas?

Yep, that is how I discovered no accleration. I had a short period of time where a combination of TnT Lite, Clem kernel and Rockplayer resulted in high def wmv files playing smooth as butter with accleration. Now HW mode with those files causes the device to crash- stock player does it too.

Have a nice one Bro.
The only thing I could throw at it that it wouldn't play were OGM files (deprecated by the Ogg folks some time back); everything else plays fantastically--even over my network.
New default player, bar none. At least until VLC is released.
Player is good as it plays AVC+AC3, however as it is not accelerated it stutters a lot. But as AVC is not playable at all in rockplayer, or Arcplayer this is an improvement. What does the pay version add?

It appears to be a market issue. I had the app installed but when I went to re-install it after a complete wipe for TNT lite 4.2.0 I was able to see the app but not install it. error code -18. none of the fixes seem to work so I am blaming the market as the issue.
Nope. Installation remains unsuccessful. Will try the Market fix and see it that does it.

Even after the market fix - using 3 different build.prop(s) I have been unable to get this app to re-install. I definitely think this is a google market issue not an end user issue.

Agreed. Tried several methods to install to no avail. Will try in the future as its not a priority right now. thanks
cool. gonna give this player a try. if it can really play 720p high profile vids, that will be EPIC. cuz right now on rockplayer, the video will play with the audio sounding fine but the video is super laggy. still wanna be able to play video files without having to convert first. that is my dream.

DLNA/UPNP problem with Onkyo AV-Receiver

My Galaxy Note doesn't recognize my Onkyo TX-NR509 in Allshare. The other way round the Onkyo recognizes all DLNA/UPNP devices in my network but not the Note. Using BubbleUPNP it sees the Onkyo and I can choose it as the output device but when I start streaming it doesn't play and ends with an error ("Transport is locked (Code: 705)"). Every other phone is working fine with the Onkyo (Desire HD, Defy, Milestone)
Any clues?
Thanks
since I in the router "UPnP" allowed , it works for me (Onkyo TX 8050)
( test it, now works it no more ..... He sees him, NAS works, PopCorn A 100 works no more Onkyo ?,strange )

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem with my Onkyo TX-NR609!
Have you solved this issue?
BubbleUPnP has no problems streaming to my Medion WLAN-radio and other devices, only streaming to my Onkyo-receiver fails.
Best regards

tried different codec songs?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
Yes, MP3 and AAC, while AAC fails with every device!
I found the "Onkyo Remote"-app on Google Play, and with this app streaming is as easy as it should be.
So no idea, why it won't work with BubbleUPnP...

It's not about codecs and not about BubbleUPnP The general problem is that the Samsung Note doesn't recognize the Onkyo as a DLNA/UPNP device. Allshare doesn't even see it. It's also Rom independent - same prob with Stock as with CM10. Really a shame. Thank god I own a WD TV Live
Okay, this is really a shame for Samsung!
Here you can find the Onkyo-app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...Remote&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
Using it, streaming works like a charm.

actually dnla implementation is up to manufacturers. Then it could very well be wrong on onkyos side.
I guess another standard missing the boat. Just like java.

Hi,
just for info, Bubble UPNP works fine with my Onkyo TX-NR616.
Concering "Transport is locked (Code: 705)"... I need to select NET -> DNLA manually (e.g. using the Remote or Onkyo App) before using Bubble UPNP. But then all is working as expected. However, no gapless support.
Best regards

Thank you so much for that tip. I spent all night last night trying to find the solution, even trying to contact the developer. I have 2 onkyos TX-NR708 in family room and TX-NR818 in theater. Problem was showing on the 708 your tip worked like a charm. Mine actually showed Bubble Upnp in the display. Thank you again.

Throw not playing video files

My Xperia Z (stock rom, rooted, cwm) works perfectly with sending music or photos to my Samsung TV B series via throw.
When i try to play any of my video files from Xperia Z to my TV, the video playback not works at all for ANY video formats....
I get the message "CANNOT PLAY VIDEO"
I search via net and find a solution to turn phone off and back on but not working for me...
Any solution to fix it?
Thanks in advance

I have the exact same problem since the begining, the very first time I tried it, it worked just great with all the sample videos. But to be honest after I rebooted the phone for the first time it never worked again. Music and Photo's work fine. The phone will now not throw to any of my DLNA devices for video, regardless of format.
I have just tried something out of curiousity, will report back if it helps anything

What are you talking about??? The transport is DLNA, so will only work with media that is supported by DLNA. As said here already stupid idea, if you read the posts you will discover that at least for me it worked the very first time I tried it with video.
What I have been testing are files that worked before, nothing changed, and formats supported by the TV and DLNA, so not sure where you come up with (unknown) I don't believe anyone mentioned that.
Have you got it working?

[CHROME-EXTENSION] Thundercast

I'm writing an extension to send various contents from the web to the chromecast. If you are brave enough you can give it a try.
Update 0.8 (the new version is taking shape)
Major changes: new name. : )
Minor changes: the UI is more conventional but is the result of the code simplification and allows avoiding some operations, like javascript injections.
To install the extension you have to drag and drop the crx file in the extensions tab (chrome://extensions)
If you use the stable channel of chrome, google will likely block the extension soon after the first restart of the browser. In that case, to use it further, I suggest installing chrome canary.

Basically it forces the use of the cast API so your pc won’t act as the server of the video but only as the remote controller, mimic the behavior of youtube in websites that don’t support chromecast.

Does that have any advantages? I notice that often, casting the entire tab of a screen playing a video makes it tough on my Chromecast whereas the Youtube implementation works pretty smoothly. Does using your version make it smoother?

It should, as the extension is telling Chromecast to go grab the media directly, rather than your PC trying to encode from the screen and send the (re)encoded video to Chromecast.
Did anyone try it ?
its working good
but i also have to have the cc extensionn running to cast directly to cc
would be nice if that is automatic
I tried at yify.tv, doesn't work, extension always fail to transfer source to chromecast with the red ! sign on the extension icon.

While thundercast is enabled you should see a big, ugly button over the videos. It will cast the video if chromecast support its format, otherwise you can always download it.
Btw, i'm rewriting the extension from scratch and will be very different. My intention is to release it in the store, but it's not going to happen soon.
Maybe this thread can be closed, but i have a thing for the user of xda i'd like to share when the new version is ready.

About the store, I haven’t decided yet. There are some (few) things I want to improve before but I'm having issues with the chromecast. It has such a poor wifi reception I have to carefully position the tv to get it work and, in these days, with the heat, things seem even worse. It’s becoming a bit frustrating…

An HDMI extension (if the included one isn't sufficient) can do wonders for getting Chromecast away from the TV and into a better reception zone. Even a 3-foot (1-meter) cable can help tremendously. TVs are very bad with signal reflection and interference.
Is live streaming websites supported by this extension? I tried to use it with livestation no luck
Also tried it with file drive and did not see cast icon
Where do we get this extension
WHere do we download this extension, I do not find it on the Chrome Extension site???
