Xfinity stream app. - Shield Android TV General

Just sharing. Works on my 2019 pro.
https://rg.to/file/0689114b82077888ff0e9e298d89b651
Hope it works for others, sorry if it doesn't. :good:

do you know if this works after Sept 28 , 2020 xfinity made a change to their servers that stops this from working..

Thx for sharing. Not working for me, 2017 model, newest update (8.2.0).

I sideload the copy from my note 8 and it seemed to work fine until I tried playing something. It wants me to disable screen mirroring on the shield.

cast screen and screen mirroring on a samsung tv

Hi guys
I know there are threat about this matter but none of them have any solution . As you know Samsung phones have smart view which can screen mirror and control your smart TV.
Nexus 5x doesn't recognize Mira cast devices and with changing build.prop althogh it can recognize the TV but unable to connect to it. Do you guys have any idea to solve this problem?
I'm sure there is a software way. Because there shouldn't be a hardware problem with Nexus 5x .
Did any one connect a Nexus 5x to Samsung TV?
I think it depends on the year of the Samsung TV. My 4K is a 2014 model and doesn't do screen cast or mirroring yet my in-laws is 2016 and I believe does work.

Mine is a 2016 model and can't connect to it. There should be a way for this problem . Is there any way to port samsung smart view app on Nexus 5x?
Any idea?
Miracast was removed with (I think) 6.0. It's a proprietary API.
There's a few people on the 6p forums trying to get it to work, with little success.
You can change the following in the build.prop to get the Samsung device to show up on the list, the phone connects, but it doesn't cast.
persist.debug.wfd.enable=1
You also need to set Allow WiFi in the cast options.
BTW, the Smart View app is just a remote control app. It should work just fine, as long as your phone and TV are connected to the same network.
Edit: really should have read the op before replying, I basically said the same thing as you!

Hmm. Will have to give it a try next time I'm over there. Although, I could've possibly connected via Chromecast and got mixed up.

Tanx for your replay any way. I think there is a way to bypass this limitation but we don't know it yet...

Yes it works in chrome cast but chrome cast need a router and that slow down the streaming . The benefit from the screen mirroring is that your phone connect directly to your smart tv so you have a smooth and fast experience on it .a 3rd party device like chrome cast is not a good alternative for screen mirroring.

I wasn't saying Chromecast is a great alternative. I was just saying I might've not been directly connected to the TV like I originally thought. While we're on it though, Chromecast does get the job done for the most part though if your router is close and fast.

Don't it has to be set on enabled? In previous versions it had to be set from 0 to 1...

Netflix and Lineage

I can’t seem to get Netflix to work on my 2013 nexus 7 flo, with Lineage 14. Netflix use to work great when I was on stock 6.0 but after I updated to Lineage 14 Netflix no longer works. I try un-installing and re-installing the app, clearing out cache and data but still not working. Is there a work around to get Netflix working on Lineage? Thanks.
Works fine on Moto Z with 14.1. Using official root add-on

I was on Chainfire SU and thought to try Lineage root add on to see if it can fix my Netflix not working issue but it didn't work and it also broke Viper so I had to go back to Chainfire SU to get back Viper.
Back to Square one any suggestions?
Works on LG G3-D852 from Play Store since Lineage 14.1 20170612-Nightly.

Sorry for the late response. The issue is not lineage itself. It's the way drm (widevine) is implemented in the builds for the nexus 7 (2013) devices.
There is a solution using drm files and an older version of Netflix. But for some (including me) downloading movies is not possible anymore.
So what has your solution been in the meantime?

What I’m doing about Netflix on my Nexus 7 is to download the apk from ApkMirror. I use Netflix mainly for streaming to Chromecast and I found that if I hit the stream icon first and start casting to Chromecast first and then start a show it would work and start casting to my TV but I still can’t watch a Netflix as a stand alone.

Xfinity Stream For Latest Shield 2017 no Root

Has anyone been able to find a version of xfinity streaming app that works with Shield 2017? I have tried a number of versions from the FireTV forum without any luck. Would really love to find a working version for the Shield being the best android streaming box, but no one seams to care about the xfinity app!
It should be a matter of time now...read that xfinity was about to release an app for Android TV, but that it would be limited to Sony TVs at first.
Once it is released for Sony, I am sure that properly working APKs will surface for any other Android TV devices.

That app is fine but will only allow you to stream on an Xfinity network.

Well...of course you have to be an xfinity customer to be able to use the app...
Is that what you mean by "Xfinity network"?
I am streaming Xfinity on my Samsung tab pro 10.1 and various PCs in the house...but I also have the STB for DVR purposes (which can be streamed all over my network). I do not have their modem/router as I own my own, and still works as expected. I can also stream from outside my home on my phone.
If anyone is still interest I having a partial working version. Channels work perfectly accept for on demand viewing.

I am very interested, can you share what APK you have working? I am tired of having to cast xfinity stream from my laptop, I want a native app.
I am also interested.

Ditto...need it on my nVidia Shield
Sorry to show up to the party so late. I have a version of the newer xfinity app. You can stream live tv and on-demand shows (obviously only channels you are subscribed to). It even has launcher support (meaning it will show up right on the homescreen). I was just bored and browsing, so if anyone is still interested I will share a link. Also, what I gathered, this doesn't require root, although my device is rooted so I cannot confirm that.

After setup, the main page that loads will be a "For you" page. Click the back button, it will load a page where you can select "Live" "On-Demand" and a couple other I can't remember. When trying to select a shoe through "On-Demand" I recommend using a mouse or mouse toggle. You can click and drag through the episodes list, so to select other episodes.
here ya go!

Pixel 2 XL with Daydream View 2017 & Netflix VR

Has anyone tried the Pixel 2 XL and the Daydream View 2017 together yet?
I've got these and they're great, but I can't get the Netflix VR app to work.
The app loads and places you in a log cabin room with a very large TV screen in front of you - but the screen in black - there are no options to do anything.
Looking at the app feedback on Google Play Store, it seems a lot of people have this issue.
I've tried sideloading older versions of the app, but none work.
I was trying to figure out if it's a compatibility issue with Pixel 2 XL , Daydream View 2017, or the app itself.
Feedback I've seen from people with other phones say theirs works fine.

Just decided to try to see if it works for me and i get the same thing
I as well have the same issue. It seems to be the only app for me that doesn't work properly on the Daydream.
It would appear the Netflix VR app isn't fully compatible with Android 8.1 yet.
Awaiting an app update.
There are quite a few apps where 8.1 broke compatability. Netflix, Poker VR and Altspace to name a few.

Netflix finally released an APP update last night (28/01) to resolve the issue.
I've tested and it's working great on my Pixel 2 XL and Daydream VR (2017).
Plex also released a VR version of their app too, so you can stream your collection in VR anywhere.
It even plays 3D movies where you can choose side-by-side or over-under display from within the APP. No messing around.
Things are definitely getting better on the VR world.
Nice! Thanks for the update!
This update fixed the black screen issue, but any dark scene such as inside a bar or dark room is virtually impossible to see. Increasing the display brightness makes no difference. I have the pixel 2 xl, and it only happens with Netflix VR. Anyone else notice this?
Hi, just installed Netflix VR and tried with Daydream 2017. I can browse the titles and start the streaming. But the streaming stops in several seconds, saying "we're having trouble playing this title right now..." and gives an error code. It happens with all content, while the regular NFLX application works fine. Does anyone face the same problem?

Miracast kernel?

Hello, I was just curious if there is a kernel that supports/enables miracast?
Thank you in advance
Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
Mircast is a Samsung exclusive. In Android (before Oreo) you use to be able to make a build prop edit to enable casting to Miracast devices, but no longer is that a option.
Are you wanting Miracast or DLNA to where you can cast your media onto your Samsung Smart TV (I think LG has DLNA as well).
Basically, the way i am able to project my streams from movie apps or the media on my phone to my 3-4 year old Samsung Smart tv with 3rd party apps...no rooting or flashing was necessary to get this working.
I downloaded one of many DLNA apps out there. The one Im using is called: XCast. i just turn on my tv, make sure the tv is connected thru wifi, and then when i choose the player for my media content, I go to "open with," then select XCast, which then recognizes my tv and then im able to shoot my stream onto my tv...basically, wireless hdmi.
If you have any questions, feel free to IM me. Good luck, hope my ramblings made sense

I'm actually just looking to screen mirror my phone to my pioneer radio that supports miracast. I haven't been able to figure out a way to do this. I don't want to be able to watch movies while driving, but instead, when I'm waiting for the wife at places and what not. Thank you

Hi guys,
I'm so excited to tell you that I just enabled Miracast for Pixel 1 running Android Pie.
you can go to the forum Google Pixel -> Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion for more details.
I only have a Pixel 1, but I will also build files for Pixel XL/2/2 XL/3/3XL. You can try it if you can replace your system files.
I'm not sure if it can work on other devices, but I really want to hear that it works too!
