No matter what I try I cannot get Allcast to stream music from google play music to my Apple TV or Roku stick and wanted to know if anyone else has tried this app with root and had any success?
Tried rebooting my router, installed the patch from Allcast multiple times, installed a newer version of SU and no dice it either finds nothing or sits there searching for devices and never finds anything at all.
If I turn on my chrome cast then it only ever see's the chrome cast and nothing else.
For reference Allcast see's all my media devices and I can stream to them fine it's just google play music, photo's and movies which ain't working.
Anyone?
Try going into settings then "share and connect" and take a look at the settings in media server. I had to enable this for streaming to work.
Hello,
I've got the exact same issue with my LG G3 ("searching for devices" in Play Music but ok through the app), did you find a solution ?
Thanks

I noticed something after the latest update. Players like Dice-player and other media players can no longer stream media to my Kindle.
I have shows shared via Windows file share (SAMBA). Normally I could find these and play them on home home network via kindle. After Kindles latest update, I get the message "this media is not capable of streaming". Then the program starts to download the entire file to my kindle and THEN play it.
Its effectively neutered all media except local files or Amazon Instant video.
Has anyone noticed similar behavior?

try bs player, i found it streams better over smb from my nas than dice did for me at least
Hi Folks,
I have an Ubuntu Server running the PS3 Media Server (pms-linux) DLNA server.
I have it configured to stream audio/video files out to PS3, iPad (via AirPlayer or GoodPlayer apps). It also happily streamed to my Sony Xperia Arc S via the built in DLNA app there (which pushed the stream to MX Player).
Having moved to the Note2, I hoped to continue to use the functionality, and was happy to see the stock Music/Video players plus AllShare Player all have DLNA functionality, and, indeed, the server shows in the list of local servers.
However upon trying to connect to the server, I get various error messages on the phone. Tailing the logs, I have adjusted the Android.conf file so that it's selected when the Note2 connects, I've also had it so that the same file as the Xperia Arc S uses is selected. Both, however, to no avail. The phone continues to refuse to have anything to do with PS3 Media Server, I can't stream files from it & play them on the phone.
I'm going to go looking around Google Play for other DLNA capable apps, and couple those with MX Player, to see if I have any better luck, but it would be great to be able to ge the stock apps working.
Has anyone else had any luck with this? If so, could you post your .conf file?
Thanks!
Gav.
Skifta
Well... I tried the same thing. But I couldn't. The best option to stream to XMB is with Skifta. It works perfectly for me with videos, photos and music too.
ArkMC
I use ArkMC for near the same case
It has free version with dlna renderer.
Also tried Skifta - nice design but boring usability.

Not really a GPad specific question but i would like to try and use the GPad to stream mp3's from my computer to the TV.
I have had very limited success so far. Airstream gives me access to my computers files, twonky lets me beam my videos to my tv, but i cant seem to beam mp3's, they just play on the tablet. There is no option to send to the tv like with mp4's.
Also tried bubblepnp and air droid without success.
Anybody have it working, any better apps?

It might help if you told us what TV you have and what options it has. If you TV is DLNA then any of the upnp apps should let you play music to the TV. If your TV has Bluetooth you can send using that. If you have a chromecast you can cast from Google Play Music.
Sorry its a Panasonic and it has dlna but not bluetooth or miracast.
Like I first said suggested but did not perhaps make clear the problem is not so much sharing content, twonky gives me the option to beam videos but not mp3's. Its almost like the default player takes preference over all over software. I wonder if I can cancel any associations so that when I next select an mp3 I am asked which program to open it with and twonky will be in the list.

BubbleUpnp should do what you want. In the Devices section, select your TV as the renderer, and you should be able to stream content from your tablet or any DLNA server on your network to the TV.
So I just noticed that my chromecast option in you tube, chrome browser, Netflix, etc no longer appears for me to cast the video to my TV. The chromecast app itself is still there though... any ideas?

Did you happen to disable any apps? Either through the application manager or block them through adb from the guide in the other sections?
I had the caller name ID app disabled. Could that be causing it? I re-enabled it and still no luck
Are you able to open the Chromecast app and does it find your Chromecast? If the Chromecast app does not find it, it may be more of an issue with your Chromecast losing connection to your wireless network.
If Chromecast does not open, uninstall and reinstall the app from the Play Store.
If it still doesn't work after that, report back and we'll look deeper.
Yes, the app finds my chromecast and I can connect to it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the chromecast app with no luck.
The problem I am having is the cast icon is not appearing in my other apps like Netflix and you tube, etc.
Might take a look here; specifically post 83 and 84, however the entire page is regarding a disappearing chromecast icon.
Also, here.
Why don't you just mirror the phone to the tv. That what I do then I run whatever app I want on phone while mirroring on tv.
Then run YouTube or Netflix on phone and it plays on tv.
Same thing happened to me today. I couldn't get the icon on the Avia app. It does however show up when I go to Youtube. Weird.

Don't you lose the second screen experience by doing that since you're basically just mirroring what's on your phone to the TV? One of the best things about Chromecast is that you cast the video to your TV, then you can use your phone as a second screen, like adding Youtube videos to a queue (a playlist of sorts).
It don't bother me not like I'm in a rush to see next video. Just another option till issue is resolved.
I've got a JY-UQ124 = RK3188 Quad Core, 16 GB Flash, 1024*600 Screen and have a rather odd problem. When on my home wifi, Google Play Music on my head unit behaves normally and allows me to see and play music via streaming (I have All Access) or playlists that I've downloaded. When I am tethered to my phone (Nexus 6P, T-Mobile), Google Play Music only allows me to play downloaded playlists and will no longer stream music. All radio stations/playlists that aren't downloaded are grayed out. Has anyone had that (really weird) issue? I'm in the USA with Google Play Music All Access.
I'm on a Nexus 6P w/ T-Mobile as well, and I don't have any problems streaming music via tethering.
Does your unit actually have an internet connection when tethered? IE, are you able to access websites via Chrome or Google play, etc? It sounds like for whatever reason your device isn't getting a web connection when tethered.
Update: I actually experienced this problem today. Head unit connected to the internet via tether (confirmed with web browser and other apps), but Google Play Music acting like it's in "Downloaded Only" mode and only allowing playback of cached songs. Reinstalling the Google Play Music app fixed the problem.
I had a similar issue on my head unit. Despite being connected via WiFi shared from my phone I had to turn off "Stream only on Wifi" for it to work.
