I run a language school and I use tablets and google home minis to do 'listenings'. It works ok, but the teacher has to 'mirror device' each time to cast to the speaker and there is a slight delay, which is annoying.
If someone could suggest a solution that would mean the tablet casts permanently to the google mini and eliminates the delay I would be grateful.

Hi all. LONG time browser. First time poster. Hope you guys can assist. Tried searching and found no results. Kinda surprised it hasn't been brought up before.
So here goes. Is it at all possible to bypass/skip the "cast to device" prompt on an Android device. As I only have one (1) Chromecast device it seems kinda redundant to select it every time I have something to cast. Granted certain apps like Plex, Youtube, Netflix have the option to connect from the get go and bypass the said prompt. I am hoping to achieve this function constantly. More specifically with Google Chrome on Android. As I stream a lot of anime, choosing my Chromecast after every episode seems redundant, especially when I only have one (1) Chromecast in the household.
Can anyone assist? Thanks, GIGA.

I know but it would still be a nice feature if at all possible. Btw I realized I can somewhat simulate the desired effect if I play another video while the current one is still casting (Chrome Android). In this way the connection doesn't break. But if the video stops or completes then I once again have to be prompted "cast to device" to watch another video. Is it possible for someone create an addon/extension/plugin for Chrome Android that adds the option to connect constantly like Netflix, Plex, Youtube etc?

Hey XDA Fans,
I'm actually at a position where i want to get rid of my MediaPC. At the moment i can do everything i want with only 1 missing thing. My current setup is, my PC is 3 rooms away and the TV has the ChromeCast. I also have a 5 meter USB cable routed through my rooms close to the TV with a recevier for a wireless Keyboard (mainly because there is no good WiFi Keyboard at the moment). So I can cast my Desktop or Browser to the TV and controll it. But ....
The big Problem, I need a way to start the Chrome Cast via any command, so I can press a Hotkey on my Keyboard to start the streaming so i do not have allways to go to the PC to start the streaming. And this is what I'm looking for currently.
I was looking through the API of Google Cast, but there is no API for Windows/.Net (was mostly clear but hoped for), only for Android and Chrome. So yeah as u guys might allready understand, I'm looking for a way to Start Desktop/Browser Streaming to my ChromeCast with a BatchFile, Scripting, Coding, which i can start via a Hotkey. Do not missunderstand me. If I or u guys could give me a hint with and API with these possibilities I'm able to code it myself. That's not the Problem, but as far as my research went I wasn't able to find anything on myself. So I'm here to maybe get pointed to sth.

PS: Sr for my bad english if u guys weren't able after reading the top few lines to understand what I'm looking for tell me I can try to explain it again x)

You can record your mouse movements and keyboard keystrokes with ghost mouse. Maybe it will help you.
Hello,
i've searched a lot on the forum and on google, the only thing i've found is a plugin for Tasker called AutoCast... but it doesn't work very well
My question is: does anyone knows if there is a simple way to autoconnect the YouTube app to the first available Chromecast?
I need this for my father, because he wants to view youtube on his 42" HDTV
his smartphone disconnects too frequently from chromecast.
Thanks in advance
I don't believe it's possible. You might have to check tutorials on how to use taker with auto cast, I believe it can do wonders if used right
Hi,
I'm currently building a Raspberry Pi (3) Android Auto project for my 55 year old Land Rover. I'm using Openauto installed on Raspbian (rather than using Crankshaft) so I can also add reversing cameras, ultrasonic sensors and so on, more easily.
Anyway, I the system so far:
RPi 3b running Raspbian Stretch
7" Touchscreen
USB soundcard with mic input.
It took a while but I finally configured the audio and it's working, at least Google Assistant and I think Navigation prompts (but it's difficult to assess that, the system isn't installed yet so it isn't going anywhere). The problem I am having is I can't get music at all. The music apps work, and I can use BBC iPlayer Radio no problem. I just can't get either Google Play Music or Pulsar working with locally stored files - There isn't any sound output at all. Mike input works, I tested the soundcard in Raspbian and it outputs audio now (after finding a guide and editing configs, it didn't work at first out of the box)
I'm not an expert on Linux or Android, I'm following guides so consider me a beginner if you would please! Also, if this has been covered before, I do apologise for bringing it up again, any and all help is very much appreciated. I also apologise if it is forum etiquette to introduce oneself before asking questions, I don't mean to be rude.
And here I was thinking the most difficult step would be figuring out how to mount/fit everything into the old bus...
Many thanks,
Ste
Hey folks
I bought a Chromecast with Google TV and I am experiencing an issue and I wonder if anyone can save me. I am trying to use an app which I know it wasn't developed for this device, but I know it works because have it installed on an Android TV. The difference is that on Google TV its opening as portrait and sits in the middle of the screen - doesn't stretch, where in the Android TV it expands and takes the whole screen. Same thing happens, for example, with Instagram. I've tried a dozen of apps that supposedly force the orientation, but none of them resolved this issue.
Is there anything that can be done or am I am chasing ghosts?
Thank you in advance
is there maybe an option in the settings of that app to set its orientation?
Unfortunately there isn't
