Hey.
Seems that some Android TV's can now be joined to speaker groups. My Nexus Player now has the option but not my TCL 32 (despite rebooting it like Shields need apparently). Has anyone got the speaker group option on their TCL or any other Android TV?

Yay!
Got an update for the Chromecast app, restarted the TV and now it works.
First tests suggest no audio on the TV for music streams. That suits me as I have a Chromecast Audio in the same room so only need a now playing screen on the TV.
Been using a LastFM/screensaver hack to do this so a nice update for me.
I joined beta program ,updated built-in app , but both Android TV (tcl/skyworth) still don't work .

Good.
Seems quite buggy. Upset my 5g network for a bit and the TV does play stuff but only after a while into each track.
Lets see if we get any updates.

Hey.
Can you tell me what version of Chromecast built in you have. I cleared data and cache on mine and have now lost the group function.
My version is 1.47.207274

That's interesting. My Nexus Player is on the same version and it still works (currently in a group, bit slow to join each session but otherwise working well)
Here imposible to build a group with android tv, same versión 1.47.207274 cast
I really loved the option to include my android tv to a speaker group while it lasted.
I wonder can't the chromecast built-in apk be hacked to enable it again?
Hello guys, jumping on this, maybe trying to flog a dead horse, i have a philips 55 8024/12 and it supposedly has chromecast built in v 1.42, but it doesn't really behave in google home like other normal chromecast devices, many options are missing...
so i thought i could try the v1.44 'chromecast built in -beta' by joining the tester program, however both via web browser on pc playstore and saying ->install to device or directly from the playstore app within android TV i am unable to install the beta update and its still on 1.42, it says its compatible, the download begins, but the moment it starts installing it just fails saying cannot install...
have tried clearing cache and data for google web view, play store but to no avail...any tips or is it just broken?

Chromecast built-in is quite limited compared to dedicated Chromecast devices.
And it's back but broken.
Just got a new (June) update to Chromecast. Can now join my TV to a speaker group again but casting to any group with TV in it just spins it's wheels then times out.
Nexus Player has no problem.
Hmm
I updated both of my nexus players to the latest chrome cast builds but I still don't see them in the speaker group when I try to add them or create a new one. Any suggestions?

I think Google are still experimenting. The option has gone again for my TV but remains on my Nexus player.

Does anyone know if it's possible to get the SmartShare app that comes with LG phones to work with the S3? Just got an LG smart TV and want to use this feature. I did find an APK, but it just force closes after installation with the message 'manufacturer not match'
I'm not sure on the implications of this and I would check but I suppose you could alter thebbuil prop to saybthis is an lg phone and not a Sammy.
Check first as I have no idea of it's problems etc

No it never will and never was! Works with LG's verry well, don't get the OP's point why he wants the SmartShare app if AllShare can do the same...
DLNA is a standard so should work with ALL DLNA capable products!
Only screen mirror and that kind of (non_DLNA) functions will work per brand...
I actually find BubbleUPnP better than AllShare too as you can assign a different video player app - take a look at that if you're not a fan of AllShare.

No Allshare app is only for Samsung devices for now. Samsung wants to include other brands too eventually but for now all Samsung devices can be connected thru it. My LG smart tv is not recognized on it and just like allshare, LG has their own Smartshare. OP can still use DLNA directly on S3 to connect his TV but allshare would only work with Samsung devices
I have actually patched the manufacturer check but it crashes on my Nexus 7... I will share apk here so you can test it on your device.
NOTE: I do not think this is going to work on any device exept LG becouse of some kernel modules that are developed by LG and included only in their phones.
Does not works :crying:

You can just download the APK from the XBMC website and install it on the tab. It works fine on the G Pad, however unless your hooking it up to a TV via a dock or MHL adapter, your best sticking with a basic media player for playing files on the tab itself.
I can't post links yet but Google 'XBMX Android' and it's the first link!
yes you can workni great so far!

With a decent internet connection, XBMC works very well on the stock rom or with the Malladus custom rom.It doesn't work with any of the Kit Kat-based custom roms currently available. Which is why I can't use the latter.
The best results I've obtained have been with the XAF build of XBMC. This is the version that automatically uses MX Player to play back video. It's free from many of the issues that can affect playback using XBMC's native player.
1. You install MX Player (free version) from the Play Store and run it once. Go to settings/decoder and check H/W + (for smooth hardware acceleration).
2. You install the XAF build of XBMC, which used to be found here, thanks to a developer. I think the link still works.
http://goo.im/devs/kemonine/xbmc/xbmc-frodo-12.1-xaf-neon-set_top-20130503-47b0a23c60.apk
3. Search any recent on-line guide to how to set up XBMC add-ons, especially from XBMChub and Xunity. What is available will amaze you.

Great, glad you're getting on ok with 12.3.
I should clarify: none of the XBMC Frodo builds, including 12.3, is hardware accelerated. For the smooth playback of all true HD video, you need that. That's why I use the XAF build, because it relies on MX player and its superb hardware acceleration. That combo can handle just about any type of streamed video.
Hello, since a month or so, when I try to watch a video in facebook or twitter app, they immediately stop playing, and there is no way to watch them. The same has always appened in periscope and twitch but until now facebook and twitter never had problems with videos. Youtube videos work fine as always, never had problem with it.
Does it happen to you too?
Any suggestions?
same issue here on fire os 4.6.3, cannot play videos on FB app. The video just plays for 1-2 sec and immediately stops jumping towards the end

Amazon has pulled Facebook from the app store. Can anybody post the last working Amazon App Store version of Facebook?
Interesting enough, Facebook is still working on my Kindle. So, I (in retrospect, stupidly) created a backup APK on the Kindle to install on my Fire Phone. When I tried to install it on my Fire Phone and got a parsing error. Will have to wait for a goodly soul here to upload the pre-update Amazon Fire Store version of Facebook...or for Amazon to fix the problem.

Older versions of Facebook can be found on APK Mirror. Here is a link to the most recent non alpha or beta version I could find that should work on the Fire Phone: Facebook 55.0.0.18.66 (Android 4.0.3+)

Thank you, thank you! The build you provided was too recent. So, I had to go all the way back to Facebook 45.0.0.36.146 (Android 4.0.3+) and video is working again! :good:
It seems that at the beginning of August last year there was an update to the Silk browser which broke video playback in many Fire tablets. https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/cust...QQ7V&cdThread=Tx1NRB3LVTX30RF&cdPage=4&cdSort Could our issue be similar? The tablet issue was finally fixed. It appears that with Silk being the default, and part of the OS, it broke something system wide.

Netflix TV Os
Hi,
I'm struggling on the internet for information I'm after and you might be able to help! I want to get a media player with the official Android TV OS (the same one as the Shield - not the other normal media boxes). Simply put - in SA we have unstable internet connections. For Netflix on Android TV OS, does it allow for offline downloading? People have suggested popcorn time but I want to support creators and anyway, Netflix is good enough. So, can anyone tell me whether the Netflix App for the official Android TV OS supports offline mode (ie downloaded episodes like you have in normal Netflix on Android).
Thanks Tom

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.
