Anyone got PiP to work? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

So I've seen a list of apps that currently support PIP I'm 8.0 and so far I haven't been able to get any of them to work. I tried Play Movies and then YouTube TV. Both didn't work. I know you need Red for YouTube, but as a subscriber to YouTube TV I would assume that's enough for that app to work.
Anyone else have this feature working for any of the supported apps?

Yes, was able to do it on my original Pixel and now also on my XL 2... You have to be subscribed to YouTube red and have the feature enabled to do picture in picture, with the XL 2 you can also zoom in/expand cropped YouTube videos to full screen. Make sure you have the latest version of the apps too.

You're pressing home correct? Backing out of YouTube has it play in the background.

I am pressing home. I've gotten it to work for Brave browser playing streaming video. But not YouTube TV. I don't have a subscription to YT Red but I am a subscriber to YT TV, so that app should work right? Or do I need to be a subscriber of both?

HDMI out question

What exactly can I play with HDMI out? I have some .avi movies that I use arcMedia to play. If I just connect my HDMI and play it will it show up on my tv? Or does it have to be a specific format to play?
As of now, the only things you can output are gallery pictures (slideshow mode only), youtube, and any videos the stock app will play. so your avi's most likely wont play over hdmi.
Does anyone know if you can use the slingplayer app with the hdmi output?

Is anyone working on a fix for this?
Is it just me or did it seem like in the Sense2 'preview' given at the HTC show that someone linked earlier today HTC claimed you could use your TV as a screen for your phone? I believe the quote was something along the lines of, 'what shows up on your phone, shows up on the tv'. They didn't go into any further details, and they were talking about watching videos when they said it. However, if true video out capabilities are included in Sense2, that would be pretty bad ass. Something to keep an eye out for when it finally hits!
You can steam movies from this site (iphonemoviez.net/blog/) and use hdmi to watch on tv (wouldn't let me post full link but I'm sure you guys get it)
I don't think its full ui out yet.. Just wireless streaming of vid and pix...
I wonder though what they using to stream to the tv from the phone.. As well as what requirements the tv needs..

I use SPB TV app from android market. It is able to stream live ~100 inet channels to HDMI. Reviews are mixed though. And it costs 10 backs for android while free for iPhone, WTF. Not that it worth to pay for given so-so quality and the channel selection could have been better.

[Q] Amazon (Prime) Instant Video

Has anyone experimented with using Amazon Instant Video (from the Kindle Fire) to get Prime videos, etc working? I did give it a run. It looks like you need to have Flash installed, and use OTA rootkeeper to temporarily hide root while you use the Instant Video app. I was having problems logging in, plus when I tried to load a video, it would just black screen, then FC.
I've watched Prime movies on my E4GT using Dolphin HD browser (use desktop mode) in the past and it worked with out hiding root. Although I'm told some need to hide it.

Hmm yes you're right, I've done similar with the ICS browser +, and that worked also. It's useful if you know what you want to watch, but it's not easy to navigate. I think a native app would be pretty awesome. I've looked in forums for other devices, but haven't found anyone trying to do this on other devices.

Allshare Cast and Multiview: Must Read!

*Allshare Cast and Multiview: Must Read!People, I have fallen in love once again with this phone. I have had it since early November. I am a huge streamer of movies from my phone. I use the wireless Allshare Wireless Hub. Today I got curious and wondered what would happen if I streamed video from my phone and while watching use the multiview feature to see what would happen. And what happened made me the proudest owner of this smartphone ever. The video stayed in full screen people! On the tv! But still allowed me to go to other apps as if I was just letting it play fullscreen video! I know u can tell I'm excited. But this is absolutely amazing and it does it without a hiccup. I'm actually streaming a movie to my big screen from my Note 2 while I write this post at the same time, all from my Note. Samsung is the ish!*Let me know if this is something u all already knew. Am I late to the party?
Wow. Good to know this works. Are you streaming a movie you downloaded onto the phone or you are streaming a movie from say Netflix?

That's a good question, I was using the native video player, but I just tried Netflix and it also does the same thing for Netflix. One word...Awesome! But it's weird. When I'm watching Netflix in multi view and I go to the other window, Netflix pauses. Annoying. Guess its not optimized for multi view. I'm rooted with stock and I have the Xposed tweak for all apps in multi view.

Yea, I found this out last week. Only works with videos directly on the phone. Hasn't worked with netflix, hulu, or hbo go as they pause and stop streaming. I was pretty impressed too, hopefully this improves.

I don't see how I could be that late. For one thing we just got the multi view update without having to root. I was rooted with Jedi 7.2, I couldn't even get my Allshare cast hub to work then because of the stupid counter. So once the update finally came out I went back to stock using the injected root method, reset my counter with Triangle, and then installed the Xposed tweak. Unless you've had the international version I don't see how I could be that late.
You lucky T-mobile users. The AT&T version disables simultaneous use of multi window and allshare cast. I hope someone can pinpoint the difference. This is a feature I really wanted in my phone

By the way MHL also works like that. I found out yesterday when watching Youtube and using multiwindow that Youtube stayed full screen and I could actually minimize it to just a tiny sliver on the bottom and use the rest of the screen to do whatever else I wanted on multiscreen. I was just as pumped as you were! My girlfriend was over at the time and I described it to her as a "Geekgasm!" lol :victory:
My allshare cast sucked. Dropped frames, had to resync everytime you wanted to connect a new samsung mobile device. Just to sync, it would take 20 tries. Very painful experience. Ill stick to using dlna through my sammy bd player. Works perfect every time.

I am streaming videos, youtube and all online videos from note 2 to my laptop/TV using iMediaShare. Watching streamed videos from phone on TV/laptop screen and simulataneously operating phone as normal including multiview.
I thought the all share dongle only works with stock.. cause mine wouldn't connect unless I was on stock.. and when I went to tv links on line and tried to watch tv the voices would lag... the dongle sucks.. I got the note 2 smart dock.. it has a hdmi slot and usb ports for a cordless mouse.. it's way better...

Hi everyone!
I've been an iphone user and finally made the big switch with the Galaxy Note 2 because of the multi view feature and the screen recording mode feature (which apparently never ended up working).
I have a stock (4.1.2) Unlocked international version n7100 Galaxy Note 2 that I've been using with an allshare cast hub. The video is a little glitchy but for the most part works great. I came to this thread by doing a google search on multiview with allshare cast.
I really want to be able to use multi view while I'm connected to allshare cast hub and streaming videos. This feature doesn't seem to work on my phone. Do I have to have my phone rooted to do this? I've never done a custom rom or rooted my phone before and I'd like to avoid that if at all possible. Do you just hold the back button during a video to bring up multiview like you would when not connected to allshare cast?
Also, has anyone figured out how to watch netflix while using multiview yet without having it pause video? I'd like to get all of my apps working in multiview and from what I've read so far the only way to do that is by rooting phone, correct?
One of my proudest moments with my Note. I feel you man. It's a great feeling what this phone can do.

I am Stock Rooted, only so that I could download and use Xposed for the xMulti Window Mod to use all my apps in the multi window. I have noticed the Netflix bug with the movie pausing when you try to use Multiview. I have found that if you start using multiview before you click on the movie to watch it will no longer pause. What I do is I open netflix and then use multiview to bring in another app on screen and then I play the movie. Works everytime. And it works like it should without pausing. And you are able to change apps as normal. But i would def. recommend getting the Multi Window Mod so that you can experience the Multiview the way it should have been out the box. I don't know why they didn't allow all apps out the gate. The only apps that I have trouble with in multiview is TMZ and Flipboard. Otherwise I am a multiview crackhead.
Hope this helps!

[Q] Any AT&T Note 4 users getting 1080 and 1440p on Youtube?

Is there anyone that's of course not on root since we don't have it available yet, able to view YouTube in 1080 and 1440p resolution? I have tried everything and the highest it can go is 720. Anyone have a difference apk or a fix or something!? I know there are lots of fixes if you are rooted and running Xposed but I know that's not available to us. Anyone??

I downloaded the apk from the first post of this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/general/youtube-1440p-root-stock-t2964677/page8
But instead of following the instructions I force closed youtube from application manager, cleared data, uninstalled updates, rebooted, installed the new apk, rebooted, opened the new youtube app, skipped the updates and skipped singing in, searched 1440p and tried a video, no luck though, so I went back to application manager and force closed youtube, cleared data. I then went back to the youtube app but this time I updated to the new version in the play store when it asked, and then searched for 1440p again, loaded a video and I have now gotten 1080p and 1440p on my note 4

Yeah the instructions are stupidly misleading from the posts and that thread in general was garbadge.
I can "play" videos listed as 1440p and it DOES look good on the screen. But when I hit the three buttons and choose settings all I see is listed to 720p. Are you all ACTUALLY seeing the 1080p and 1440p listed as an option in the settings?
I followed the link and directions a few post up...
When I said search 1440p it's just to find a demo video, it doesn't affect anything in the steps, go ahead and clear data for the youtube app, did you update after you opened the apk in the other thread?

Yup so use the 6.0.11 and open the app, try a video, then force stop the youtube app, clear data, open it up again and then UPDATE to the new version of youtube from within the app, it's odd how this works so it seems a bit different for each person
I followed the steps above and i still dont have an 1080p or a 1440p option appear in the settings during play back. I also pulled up the same TF4 1440p trailer.

Still cannot get the 1080p or 1440p to show up with the above instructions. Tried it multiple times. Double checked before and after reboots to see which youtube version it showed after installs and update. No big deal as i dont use youtube too often. I was wondering if it is a limitation due to area of the country? Provider? Which lte network the phone is connecting to? What speeds WiFi network is giving? Or something else that determines it?
Thanks for the instructions and help anyways. Have a great New Year

Yep, same here no matter what I try.
1080p is available on my Nexus 7(2013), but nothing on the Note. Kinda pisses me off.
Yeah, I posted what I did to get 1080 and 1440 but I think it's finicky in the way it works and won't work for everyone.
Yeah the way the get it working is hit or miss when it comes to certain devices. The way I got mine working was installed an old apk of YouTube and then ran it and it worked. Then I updated it though the playstore and the option for higher resolution was still there. That's how I got mine working.
Not really a solution for streaming, but I use Tubemate to download videos in 1440 (if available). It's not on the app store, you'll have to do a search http://lmgtfy.com/?q=tubemate
I dont get it...! I get 1440p playback on my Tab S using the same YT version of the app i have i the Note 4 and no 1440p playback on my Note 4.

Oh. Sorry.
I never even thought about that.
It's one thing for Google to block a free service but to charge a subscription, then make it so a significant amount of customers can't access it...its just a really bad decision.
I'd definitely contact YTTV customer support and complain.

Probably not. But I think Fire Tv is the most popular streaming device in the world. If enough people complain they just might rethink things. Or if you're persistent enough...maybe a refund, free month, credit.

Yes this version works perfectly fine on my firestick - you can also cast to the app (app must be open on tv) from your phone if you goto the apps settings and select link with code & do same on your phones YouTube app
I cast because the search function of the tv app doesn't show a keyboard input

just use smart youtube tv. casting and 4k video supported. everything works like old youtube app. not sure if login works, didn't login my account.

Could anyone looking for Youtube and NOT Youtube TV kindly get the hell out of this thread?
Working YouTube tv
So I have successfully gotten YouTube tv to work on my fire stick 2.
com.android.vending-4.6.17-80260017-minAPI8.apk
com.google.android.gms_11.9.51_(836-177350961)-11951836_minAPI19(armeabi-v7a)(213,320dpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
google_services_framework_4.4.4-1227136_androidapksbox.apk
google_account_manager_4.4.4-1227136_androidapksbox.apk
Things I've installed different than the thread.
Settings.apk for fire tv
Fake gps app from play store
I have used wireless adb to
settings put secure location_providers_allowed gps
settings put secure location_providers_allowed gps,network
settings put secure mock_location 1
I will write up a full tutorial later today. I have another fitestick to test on, so I can start from beginning.
It's sorta a pain in the ass to get the fake gps coordinates right. I installed the app on my phone, then used the coordinates it read out, and typed them into fake gps using Cletus keyboard. It is important for negative - sign.
Notes are it needs a mouse to navigate some of the app, Cetus play works fine.
Feel free to ask questions.
You can try the app here, no Google Play Services required: https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/development/app-youtube-tv-app-fire-tv-t3757074
Is this for YouTube or YOUTUBE TV?
