[APP] RemoteCast - The first universal remote for ChromeCast - Android Apps and Games

Hey guys ! I was pretty frustrated about not having universal controls for my Chromecast and I made this. It's still under development but still very usable !
It's called RemoteCast and it's basically a remote/hub for your Chromecast(s). It works fairly well so far and I hope you guys will too !

I'll focus this week on stability so please let me know what doesn't work well for you. More improvements will come very soon too, stay tunes =)

Is there a link?

You sure have created the only app that after 5 seconds finds my CC every time. For whatever reason, youtube, netflix, the official CC app, and my computer can rarely if ever find the CC. You and google music have done the impossible.

That would be pretty nice ! My goal would be to extend Android sharing standard so you could potentially share any kind of content instead of inputing it manually

I got it, messed around with it at work (sitting outside) and it looked amazing. Then went to use it at the end of the day on my drive home (just to test it out) and it never successfully routed me by the time I got home so I've yet to have a "real world experience" with it, but I assume the servers were just getting hammered or something (connects to server to route, re-route, etc).
Gonna keep messing with it tho because it seems pretty impressive for a beta.
Edit: and before people ask, I don't think sharing the apk is a good idea. It definitely does an online authentication check every time you run it.
anyone wanna post the .apk?

hahah.
Well all of a sudden during the authentication step mine is telling me there is an update available and says update or no thanks. If i click update it takes me to the market with a search for the publisher which doesn't return wikitude drive (nor is it available anymore if i search for it) and if i click don't update, it says auth failed and doesn't let me do anything.
Maybe a glitch? Maybe they revoked the beta?
Edit: Just found this on their website.
May 21, 2010 in News
Fellow testers,
Thank you for participating in our Wikitude Beta Test phase and also thank you for the great feedback!
** Currently Wikitude Drive does not work because the routing server is disabled **
Noooooo!
I guess I'll just run the Camera app with the Navigation in the Background for now.
is it full? I cannot see it on the market, only the browser....
Can anyone post the apk?

I don't think it's a good idea. Unless someone is willing to hack it to get around the activation step, it is definitely doing an online check against their servers every time you use the app. Color me paranoid, but I suspect they are keeping a close eye on the activation server
There have been cases of closed beta's being pulled before for people sharing APK files, and I have a feeling it would not take long to shut this down if people start doing that.

For those, who have a beta version. The server is now up again.
please be patient, there are only a few slots for beta testers.
the user amount on the server is limited, if its full -> you'll get a messeage: authentification faild.
Have a safe test drive!

Both of these were first 2 things I noticed/thought of when playing around with this app. Another thing, tho probably a lot more complex, would be options to tweak the route/routing algorithm. IE, avoid toll roads, stay on highway, avoid highways. If feasible, this would be a great enhancement!
Congrats on creating such a unique and useful app!
quick question regarding this app, is it using gps signal or does it require 3g/2g data?
jblazea50 said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It requires GPS Signal to get your current position.
The internet connection e.g 3G/2G/HSDPA/WLAN... is used to calculate the route.
If you leave the route during navigation, the route will be recalculated. this also uses the internet connection.
A 100km long stretch takes about 50kb traffic.
I'm also a little concerned about the amount of data used.
As shown in the video, it is also able to use a 3D-map (used during night ect), is this map downloaded dynamically, or do you purchase a certain map (like western Europe)?
If possible I would like to buy a map once and for all, in order to save on data.

[REQUEST] [APP] Looking for "TV Forecast" like app

I've been looking for a LONG time for an android app like this. Anyone have any idea where I might be able to find one.
This is a pic from the iphone app which basically shows when the next new show airs on only specific shows you enter in the app.. nothing else is there like on the TV guide app where you browse channel/time..
Thanks for all your help.
I'm looking for something smiliar... Would be awesome if someone could create an app that works a bit like http://www.pogdesign.co.uk/cat/
Of course I could always load up the website, but would be better to have it as an app. If someone has the time and skills to do a proper app with a good UI I'd definately donate a beer or two.
tvguide.com has an app on the marketplace. There's also tvlisting from jersey productions.
I tried those apps and they arent really what I'm looking for, for anyone who has had an iphone and used "Tv forecast" you will know what I mean..
Instead of sifting through channels 1-900ish trying to find the right show you input it into the program and it comes back with the next NEW showing.. nothing more, no bloating of other random channels you dont care about.
I'm just looking for a similar android app, that would make my iphone -> n1 transition really complete!
the tvguide.com one allows you to put in favorites and it shows you the next showings.
Shoot an email to the dev of TV Forecast, maybe they'll port it.

Okay, this is bad a**! I always forget when shows I like will be on. Thanks for the heads up on it.
try TV Show Favs from the market, there is a free ad supported version with 14day premium trial inside.
this app in my experience blows tv forecast out of the water, and is so good i opted to pay for the premium version. even though all the features you want and need are free!
Check this App out. Works perfekt for me. SeriesGuide:

[APP] Megavideo - finally on your Android! (NO flash required)

hello guys, i'm one of the Megavideo application developer. let me say something about the current situation.
Megavideo asked us to remove our application because it lacked some key features, such as an integrated video player and other things. we are currently working on their implementation, so a new version of the application is expected to be released sooner or later. unfortunately, we can't give you any kind of ETA, because these features are very hard to do.
one more thing. we know that many of you still have the 0.64 version of the application, which isn't working anymore. that is not our fault: Megavideo.com changed a bit its systems, so the application is incompatible with it. the fix is pretty straightforward, but we cannot release a temporary one, we have to work on the official until it's completed! sorry for that..
anyway, if you want more informations, or if you have got any questions or if you even want to help us, please visit us at MegaDevs or send us a mail at [email protected]
we are very fast in answering, so please write us guys, we do really need your collaboration!
cheers
Sebastiano
MegaDevs team
The Megavideo application has been taken down and removed from the Android Market.
This is because Megavideo asked us to remove it: we will have to fulfill some more specifications and to grant its quality.
We actually don't know WHICH specifications and WHAT quality, but we have to follow their directives. We are truly sorry for this inconvenience, please mind that this is not up to us.
We will keep you informed about any news or further development that will lead to a re-publishing of the application through our website http://megavideo.megadevs.com.
Thanks for your understanding.
Stefano, Sebastiano, Dario, Alessandro

My prayers has been answered... thank you
Definitely have to try this out. Thank you.

the concept of our application is slightly different. with Megavideo you can actually download videos, that is to say, you can watch them offline.
what is more, if you start download and then press "Play" while you're still downloading, you can stream the video!
hope this explains the whole thing better
Do I understand correctly that you are not the official team behind the Megavideo company itself? I'd like to confirm this.
Nice try, but in my phone it doesn't work...

Yes, you are right. Anyway, we are constantly in direct contact with Megavideo company, in order to get the official endorsement for this application.
Because of that, we are going to provide user support and important updates (as I am writing, a critical update has been released). Please note that this is still a BETA version, but the main functions should work without problems.
We are open to any kind of suggestion and errors feedback. This is very important to help us improving the application!

This is due to a bad video or to the flv player. Have you tried another player? We suggest RockPlayer and VPlayer. Please check both the video and the player and let us know.

[MOD] Spotify tablet mode

Good evening!
If you're reading this, then you for sure know what Spotify is. We all love listening to music and, ugh, that's the synonym of Spotify!
Unfortunately, this work could be used for two fully opposite reasons, one of which is against the XDA rules, so I had no other choice but to close this thread (and remove links). I hope you understand me and sorry for the inconvenience.
Feel free to read the history below. It was a fun ride!
Time ago, the app landed on our lovely Android platform for both tablets and phones and honestly who wasn't excited?
Soon after, forced shuffle mode and limited number of skips were also introduced and I agree that there must be a reason to purchase Premium after all. Luckily, this restriction was not enabled on tablets, but a problem that appears is that far from all tablets are detected as ones - mainly the "smaller" ones. This [bug/miss-code] activates the restriction on your tablet, and as a fix was needed from either side, here was my solution.
This mod was created for all those "small tablets" that are incorrectly recognized so that you can use Spotify the way it was meant to be used.
ViRb3 said:
Regarding Facebook log in issue:
The signature/private hash (or not) of this app was not matching the original one Spotify had registered on Facebook. Absolutely understandable since this was a modified version.
As suggested by Romain12345 (thank you!), can you log in with your Facebook credentials instead of clicking on the "Log in with Facebook" button.

MEGA is never down, it only needs the app for android if you want to download from phone. That's the reason I personally won't mirror.
About installing, you need to have "Unknown sources" enabled in your Security settings. Then just open the APK and install it as normal. If you still can't figure it out check YouTube for thousands of tutorials.

Thank you for this app, it's really really nice.
Btw I have a question about the notifications. How it works? Are we notified when the show air or can we customize this (like be notified 1h before?).
For now you'll be notified once the shows have been aired. I use the date provided by trakt.tv. Depending where you live, you may be notified in the middle of the night . I know I can improve this part

Good to know. Maybe you can ask users if they wanna be notified before or after the air date (in hours). Also ask them the range to be notified on. For exemple let's say I only want to receive notifications between 11am to 9pm, if the show airs at 2am, then the notification will be postpone until 11am.

Once you have added a host, you should be connected to it right away.
To know if you are connected to Kodi you should see the yellow game pad at the left bottom corner. If you click on it, it will open the remote

I've made things much simpler to add a host. In the last version 1.5.3, it will try to detect host automatically. No more IP address and port to enter if everything works fine
