Hi Everyone,
I am just wondering if there exists an app on Android Auto which only displays pictures (one at a time) which you can select from your phone gallery. I am not referring to wallpaper background which Google has just launched in AA 6.0+. Just like any other app where you can select a song, I would like to be able to select a picture for display.
Thanks for replies.
My best guess is using Plex.
Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Downloaded and installed Plex but the only options available on AA are Music and Podcasts. You can't access 'Camera Roll' as you can on the mobile device. I presume this may be because of safety?
Sorry but forgot to mention that my phone is non-rooted.

Hello All,
Since a while, whenever I click a video located on a website or even Facebook app I am redirected to youtube http website, when i click the video it is downloaded to my device and then i can watch it on the device media player.
What I used to was whenever i click on a video the YouTube app runs automatically and plays the video but i am not sure how to restore this, any ideas ?

You need to try clearing the default actions of all your gallery apps or apps you think are related in settings --> apps
You will not lose data if you select 'clear defaults'

Most of the related apps have the "clear defaults" option dimmed :S

Chrome app "Videostream for Google Chromecast™" (rebranded "Chromecast Video")
Chromecast Video v1.0.1 is gone from the Chrome Web Store. It has been replaced by Videostream for Google Chromecast™ 1.0.4:

or
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/videostream-for-google-ch/ebfagpccbccalgocgjlfkahogjfhliab
I guess the only difference is apps name.
A Chrome App That Streams Local Video From Your Computer To Chromecast™
Temporary until Google gets everything back together.

1.0.4
After some Google drama, we're back up and running. Turns out they hated that our icon was so cleverly similar to their Chrome icon. We're back now, better than ever after being pulled for 3 days.

BTW: you can have both version installed.
Too bad, I though the old name was kind of catchy.
No other changes? I guess we can wait for the next update then.

The old name violated Google's Terms of Service I would imagine as well.
It very much violated many Google's branding guidelines haha.
Edit:
The latest update basically just updated the icons, etc... and added some share buttons.
Is there any way to control Videostream from a remote device? I've dabbled with RemoteCast but it didn't seem to pick up on the Videostream content.
Great app! Keep up the good work!
Anyway to add time stamps along with forward/rewind 30 seconds etc

Can't get it to work
I'm trying to launch the app from my chrome browser and it keeps giving me an error saying that we can't connect to your chromecast. I checked the list and I have Chrome browser installed on my laptop, google cast extension as well and both are using the same wifi. I just don't know why it is happening to me. I even disabled my kaspersky internet security, but no luck at all....Is anyone having the same issue with me ?

App Needs Launch Button
Great aoo Works flawlessly but have to go to Web Store to launch. No launch button in chrome toolbar,
I really like the app Videostream for Chromecast. However, there is not a button on the toolbar that allows me to launch it from chrome directly. I have to go to the Play Store and launch from there. Anyone else have this problem? I have not been able to find any references about this problem on any forums.
It's an app not and extension. I find the open apps button on the bookmark bar, and it's there.
More info HERE or you can add a button HERE
I see we have an end time on the timeline now!
Oh-- it should be in your Start menu / Spotlight.
Hello.
I've been using an app in my androidphone "Metafy" that shows track and artist on my pebble when using spotify. Since the latest update of Spotify this does not work any more. Any one have the same problem?

Found an alternative app for sending Spotify info to the Pebble music controller that seems to work.
(BTW I'm using galaxy s3 and liquid smooth ROM 4.4.2).
why don't you share what you found as an alternative?
Alternative app
I use Media Utilities. It works with Spotify and Podcast (and possibly more).
The disadvantage is, that it needs notification access to read out the current track/podcast. Additionally the user interface is a little odd and buggy.
But it works and nothing bad has happened yet.
...yay, can't post links as a newbie, but I bet you can find it yourself in the Play store ( com.batescorp.notificationmediacontrols.alpha )

Sorry I forgot to put that in there. It was not a good solution anyways it was a strange app that constantly increased the volume.
Tried Media Utilities as posted above and it works!
It does not show Album though.
In the app I added spotify, and then in settings under Application Integration i checked the marker next to Pebble Watch.
Use Music Boss to fix this, and you'll also gain the best watch app for Pebble as a bonus n

I tried to install the apk file but when I try to open it it crashes. I don't like the Google photos app I prefer the stock Sony one.
I downloaded 'Gallery' off the app store. Seems ok.
I agree with you about Google photos.
Can't they make the original app work!?
You can use ver 8 album app by sony.

it does not support burst shots and shows all the pictures individually because the application is old.

Yes, but I think that is better than google photo.
(In old album, you also can't see screenshot folder)

Thanks,installed this version. It includes the "places" tab bit the program crashes when selected. It is THE most sought feature i'm after, bit for my life I cannot find it.
I hope somebody will find a solution

Here's a version that works (choose the one without "ROM")
Thanks
I use the HTC gallery from m9 lol
I did, but actually, Google Photo is better. The lay-out of the Sony Album app is a bit nicer, I removes it as it didn't have support for bursts.
You can use this.https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...lbum-9-9-a-0-20-updated-9-march-2021.2378816/

This is normal. Every app which is installed by the internal installer does not show up.
