Latest ROM
The Play Store Youtube app is a little choppy on this old of a tablet but NewPipe Legacy + VLC works well. Videos up through 480p are smooth.
Install NewPipe Legacy and VLC
NewPipe settings > Video & Audio > Use external video player: ON
Play video, choose VLC
Enjoy
Edit: NewPipe and NP Legacy's built in players were broken with their updates recently. VLC works seamlessly and has more options.
bluetooth won't start
I can't get bluetooth to start, side note wifi wasn't working either but resolved through adb shell
1. Open terminal after enabling through developer options (adb) and execute "su 0 setenforce 0"
2. Execute "/system/bin/fix-mac.sh"
(type whats in the quotes, without the quotes)
Thank you for the ROM, haven't found any other bugs on my end,
Thank you again,

Since this is the Kindle Fire 2 forum, it should be noted that the Kindle Fire 2 never had bluetooth capabilities
This ROM isn't dead; I'm just not going to push ROMs until there's fun changes/security updates to the source tree.

I just saw this video on youtube, but I'm kind of afraid to sideload this after the virus scare last week.
Vid
If it's legit, I'm totally loading it up.
[EDIT]The link goes to a Megaupload page and the file is called app.apk
Looks a little suspect to me, but they guy in the vid has the XDA app, so who knows.
This app needs flash i think? Basically searches for shows on video sites like megavideo, frogmovz, etc.
Your best bet for streaming TV and Movies on the XOOM is going to be PLEX, in my opinion.
IF you only have a Windows based computer to host the server on then you will only be able to stream what ever local content you have at present. The Windows based server for Plex is still very much a work in progress.
IF you have a Mac to host the server on then there are many plugin available such as Hulu and Netflix, to go along with local content.
At present PLEX will give you a video subsystem error if you attempt to play video on the XOOM. I know for a fact that the XOOM is being worked on by the PLEX devs, and we should have a working version out in the near future.
I will post here in the Xoom Apps section as soon as we have it ready for our lovely new toy.

tv show streamer needs flash to work. you can find that in the market. Check out my youtube video on how to get free tv shows and movies

Hi
We have opened a testing request for the aplication "TV Shows Stream" and "Tv Shows Stream Lite"
The testing request thread is here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=977194
And the main thread aplication is here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903351
The aplication need flash player installed. It will play the videos from megavideo and other streaming site that are using jwplayer. The aplication is working fine in all 2.2 / 2.3 android flash capable tablets and in most of android devices with flash.
Any info will be welcome, thanks in adnvanced.
The app looks and functions fine except it wont actually play a video.
It will give me the message "Megavideo will load in a few seconds, please wait" and then just sits there.
If I touch the menu button I get the option to "Close Browser". If I touch the screen, it shows the progress bar at the top and loads the Megavideo site.
If I use the Karambavidz link it plays sound, but no video.
Frogmovz gives me the message to "Tap play and let the video load", but there is nothing to tap. The screen is black.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
We are working in an update that will be released soon, probably before monday that allows karambavidz and loombo links to be played without using flash player, using the android native player. Those links should work fine.
For the other links, you can email yourself the link, copy it, and open it with "Dolphin HD" browser (free on market). It has been reported on Xoom forum that they can use the links if they use in this way. I know is not a good way to do it, but is a temporary workarround.
More info soon in the application thread, we are working right now on the update, its almost finished.
Regards
Hi
TV Shows Stream v3.0 has been updated now (the lite version will be updated on monday likely), clean the market cache if you dont see the update.
Karamabvidz and Loombo links can now be opend with external player. (the android native player, rock player, vplayer or any other that you have installed on your device.
We will be working on how to improve the other video links performance over xoom in the next weeks. For the other devices flash 10.2 is working fine. (flash 10.2 is beta for honeycomb) .
Please,, report if the karambavidz and Loombo links works fine on Xoom using "External players" option. Thanks in advanced.
regards
anyone try out jetflicks? Its pretty much a membership to a website, but many many different shows to choose from. They seem to keep up to date pretty well. Dont pay for the application its only a link to their website.

So I upgraded my touchpad to nightly Milaq cm-11-20140727. I also tried jcsullins version as well. Netflix is showing like this image.

I tried version 1.8.1 and it worked but kind of grainy, and no high res. The other thing I couldnt do is log into my side accounts etc..with 1.8.1. Anyone have any ideas?

Should be great, and thanks to everyone who figured this out!
I just thought i would share with you guys a fix i have been looking in to since installing the new LPX13D preview a few days ago.
Quit a lot of videos that are viewed inside of browsers try to use the vp9 codec, and by the look of things it is not yet fully supported (both in chrome and the android /framework itself).
I have spent hours of my time trying to figure this out, simply because it was just bugging me. I could have easily just watched the video in the YouTube app itself which seems to work just fine.
This fix is assuming that you use the chrome browser on your device.
Open up the browser and type in to the address bar chrome://flags
Next, find the option "Disable media source API" and press enable so it now says disable.
Now find the option for "Enable GPU rasterization" and set it to "Force-enabled for all layers"
That's it, now you can watch and enjoy your videos without the green/purple tint overlaying them.
Thanks! It worked like a charm
Awesome. Worked like a charm. Thanks.
permanent fix
Is there anyway that there is a more permanent fix for this. I am on CyanogenMod 12 nightlies and I still have that problem...
Thank you so much for this fix! Too bad this does not work inside feedly where I still get the pink tint in embedded videos
Hi guys,
I just wanted to let you know that my app is already out for a while now and I still haven't posted about it here.
Maybe some Chromecast owners could find it useful
This is Screen Stream Mirroring, it allows you to fully mirror your Android device to Chromecast, media players, web browsers, Chromecast, online broadcast...
Mirroring feature to Chromecast is out for a while, it was out even before Google announced their Mirroring feature
The app works from Android 4.0, and gives high quality results from Android 4.3 or higher.
Fo now for Chromecast the issue there is compared to other targets is that there is few seconds of delay introduced by Chromecast, I'll do my best to improve this if possible...
Main features are:
Mirror to Chromecast
Mirror to media players with RTSP
Mirror to web browsers with HTTP
Broadcast online to Twitch, Ustream, Youtube, and others ...
Mirror full audio if you have a rooted Android device (or microphone for all)
A lot of settings to change quality and speed
There is a free version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobzapp.screenstream.trial
If you like it, want to support my work and purchase, here is the link to full version:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobzapp.screenstream
Main app thread on XDA is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-screen-mirroring-broadcasting-to-t3102378
App web site is here: http://mobzapp.com/mirroring
I hope I could have any feedbacks from XDA users.
Thanks !
Amazing app. Is it possible to get sound working on lollipop without root?
Doens;t work for me. None of the menu options do anything. The screen just stays on media players, which doesn't work either
Updated my Samsung s4 to lollipop the other day. Now the app doesn't work. Asks for root even if starting service from computer seems to work. Any ideas?

should work... but you can try with free version and see if that works.
good plan - will test it tonight when i get home from work/night out (!)
ah - just noticed its not compatible with 5.1.1 (I am on CM21.1)
Why do you say it's not compatible ?
based on the reviews - also i have just installed it and it glitches quite badly, i had to force close it to exit. I am afraid I had to uninstall it.

What do you mean by "ADB recording working with sound" ?
Also please disable the option "keep internal audio" if you enabled it, this is maybe what is causing you issue.
@Sloosh
"ADB recording working with sound" - When i Connect G901F to PC or type in Terminal emulator type "adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/MyScreenRecordingGreetingsForSloosh.mp4". Then i get ADB Recording.
This file have dynamic bitrate (if u dont set --bit-rate xx) and sound from system.
In app Screen Stream Mirroring i cant set dynamic bitrate (0 working acts as a dynamic bitrate? i dont know/test it.) But the worst is i cant set audio from system. From mic working without problem. Only not working internal/mixed.
Yes, app working without problems if i dont set in Sound settings: Internal or Mixes settings.
Tell me what it is due. The problem is that I can not even born debbuging apps because it is closed source and app not leave anything worthwhile in logcat. Since there hangs just shows that there is a problem with sound. Aplication have root permission. I wonder why it is not working because SoC is this same as Nexus 6.

Yes but did you try internal audio or mixed audio source with "keep internal audio" option disabled ??
I don't understand how your screenrecord command would record system audio, because this tool from Google do not record audio from what I know...
@Sloosh
With option "keep internal audio" and without "keep internal audio" recording dont working.
Now i checked screenrecording command. You're right recording without sound BUT i now connect my old phone - I9300 with nameless rom and screenrecording recording with sound... strange magic. I apologize for misleading.
Look at YT why i mean -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4M_kwCA-ogo

Hi!
If your Android is 4.4.2 or higher Chromecast app is able to mirror to Chromecast.

Hi, so far I love this app! But the camera overlay is so dark on my Note 5 it's unusable, even in broad daylight. I'm forced to use a "floating mirror" app instead until this is fixed.
#2 on my wishlist is a basic text/image overlay. Currently I'm using a custom widget to do this, along with the Overlays app which makes widgets into overlays. It all works fine (mostly), but together with the stupid mirror cam, that's a four-piece workaround to accomplish what I feel should be core functionality in Screen Stream Mirroring.
Thanks for your hard work and consideration. Like I said I love this app. It's worth the price and a lot more!

This app turns android device to a Chromecast receiver. As far as I know, this is the only Android Chromecast receiver besides Google's own implementations.
It supports YouTube, Chrome browser tab mirroring, Google Play Music, Google Play Movies, and screen mirroring. Most 3rd party apps using Google Cast SDK should also work. Yes, it works on Amazon FireTV boxes and sticks, and other major brands of Android TV boxes.
This is the trial apk, which has full features, except this current apk will expire on Feb 29, 2016, so hurry up !
http://www.youmap.com/YouMapCastReceiver.apk [apk updated on Feb-02-2015, version 1.4.0]
Hello huisinro,
App installs OK and looks very pretty.
When I try to cast to it from an Android Phone on the same wifi network it doesn't show up at all, also tried using the Chromecast Setup App from other android phoes too.
EDIT : Tried it on a LG G3 (d855)
Thanks Rob.
Did you try the screen mirroring from the Google chromecast app? It will search for the receivers.
You may need to reboot the router.
Any news on a Amazon App store release? Would love to buy your app but need to buy through Amazon so I can use on my Fire TV and other android devices through their app store.
Still working on a version for Amazon store release, look like it will be next month.
Great, thanks.
Would love support for amlogic devices. If you need a guinea pig im happy to help. Have also bought the paid version hoping support will come one day and help development
I have a Minix X8 and X8H, which are amlogic running Android 4.4, they are working fine. What is your AMLogic device model?
Its a vigica c70t running 4.2.2.
Ok, AMLogic before android 4.4 is notorious in not supporting low level Media Codec API, which is why not working .
I will see if I can use a software decoder.
Can you check if Google chrome browser works on your box?

That'll be what my MX Box needs too, if you recall. Really looking forward to the possibility.
YouTube app works on mine, not sure about in the browser. I'll edit this in a bit after I've checked.
Edit: Tried with https://youtu.be/azV0Y7v6wsg - definitely works in both the YouTube app and in Chrome, but not when attempting to cast it from another device. @huisinro

Chrome works fine. So does netfix hulu youtube plex
What is the error when you cast YouTube to your box with YouMap? black screen?
I get unable to play video. Please choose anouther. But other apps that cast video i get a black screen with sound. But when i push the back button i get video for a second befor the app closes. Could it be an issue with stagefright on my device. Ive done a bit of research and most of what ive found points to that. I dont know much about it though
Sent from my SM-G900I using XDA Free mobile app
Yes, it's to do with Stagefright low level decoding API， which AMLogic does not support.
When you use amlogic boxes, does YouTube casting work? What about chrome tab mirroring? What about android screen mirroring?
Thank you for the great app!
I have installed Youmap Chromecast receiver into my Android settop box. where the result is strange. When I enable the Youmap receiver, all of my phone can't find it. After rebooting the router, my Nexus 4 can find the receiver only when the Android settop box connected to router through LAN cable. If the Android settop box is connected to router wirelessly, none of my phone could search it.
In the above successful case, the Nexus 4 can find and cast the screen to the Android settop box (procedure: Setting > Display > Cast screen > Select YouMAP (XXXX)). Although Nexus 4 and my Android settop box support Miracast, I'm pretty sure Nexus 4 is connected to the settop box by chromecast as I didn't enable Wireless Display and the search result clearly stated YouMap. On the other hand, the cast button didn't appear in Youtube app. Moreover, I tried it on my Moto G 2014 and it didn't find the receiver (procedure: Setting > Display > Cast screen).
Device list:
My Android settop box is MiBox 1S with Amlogic 8726-MX running Android 4.4
Nexus 4 running stock Android 4.4
Moto G 2014 running stock Android 5.0
