[Q] Chromecast? Fire Stick? Roku? using Gnabo v8 - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am looking for a streamer to cast my N8013 screen to my flat screen.
Can I do it with any of the devices listed in my subject.
Has anyone actually done this ?
Thanks,

I just checked with my chromecast and on a stock N8013 there is no "Cast Screen" option like on my note 4. However it will cast apps like Netflix.

chromecast works
I am running Gnabo v8 ROM (KitKat).
Cast Screen is a menu option and a bunch of apps (games/videos/etc) also come up with casting icons.
works great.

[Q] [a510] How to cast the screen with Chromecast

Hello,
It's possible to Cast the screen of the A510 with a Chromecast?
I tryed with Mirrorring Enabler, but when I select "Cast screen" on the Chromecast app, the TV screen goes black.
I'm in Android 4.4.4 and rooted.
Thanks you.
If you have the file /system/lib/HW/Audio.r-submix.default.so , than you can used the mirror enabler http://forum.xda-developers.com/hardware-hacking/chromecast/experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193
Install the latest chromecast from Google, enable from the app above the first option and, the app chromecast should give you the possibility to cast the screen.
If it's works on your side, please tell me which Rom are you used., because my (paranoid) does not contain the file above

[Q] screen mirroring problems?

Hi all hope someone can help me with my problem. I have recently purchased a note 12.2 and I'm having some problems with screen mirroring. I also have a note 3 phone and wife has a s4 but neither of these have this problem. At first it wouldn't mirror at all! I looked around on the Internet and found some advice to uninstall all share cast dingle update. I did this and it allowed my Samsung 2013 smart tv to mirror the tablet. But i like to use a app called showbox, and on my phone whilst streaming a film on showbox i can press the icon in the top left of the screen to mirror the film i am watching. I would like to do this for two reasons.
1 its easier and quicker
2 whilst in screen mirror mode and not sending the film through pressing the icon on the top left of the screen. I can only access two screen modes. Standard and entertain. Where as using the other method i can access all screen modes including movie mode which is what i have calibrated to use.
How this is clear and any help would be appreciated.

If you are rooted, you can edit /system/build.prop file with any root file manager/text editor and add a line at the bootom
wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable
I don't know how Showbox will behave but it does fix screen mirroring problems.
Only for root.

If I understand correctly you seem to have a DLNA discovery problem rather than a Screen Mirroring problem (or maybe both)
Every now and then I also have problems with the Samsung video app discovering my TV. Some times it is a problem of the router as I and others have found out. In my router I have to disable an option called "Enable UPNP on the Network" and the UPNP connectivity on my home WiFi network works correctly.
I suggest you try the following:
Check your router, if there is a UPNP/DLNA option disable it.
Check if you can share videos with the built in DLNA server (it's in Settings at the bottom of the first tab)
Check a free app call "Pixel Media Server" on Google Play, it is reliable, I use it often with my Samsung 2013 Smart TV, and it also streams subtitles to TV without transcoding.

Screen Mirroring to TV, Netflix video not working

I have a Samsung Smart TV series 6203.
My HTC One M8 is S-off, with ViperONE rom.
Screen mirroring from my HTC One M8 works fine, meaning audio and video are working, everything that appears on my phone is mirrored exactly on the TV screen, EXCEPT for Netflix videos. When I open the netflix app, everything still works, I can see the Netflix menu on the TV, but once I play a video, the video player shows no video (audio is OK), I can see the frame of the video player, I can see the time bar on the bottom, but just no video.
I searched and can't find anyone with similar problem, most people have problem making the mirroring work, but mine is fine just no Netflix video. Could it be because of copyright issues, that Netflix disabled it because of copyright?? but this user DUGLESSM did it successfully in his youtube video "2013 SAMSUNG SMART TV SCREEN MIRRORING A S4 WITH NO DONGLE SCREEN MIRROR" (sorry i'm not allowed to post outside link yet) at about 6:55 into video.
any help will be appreciated, thanks.
Did you find a solution for this? I have the same problem with tmobile note 5 rooted with cfautoroot 6.0.1 it happens with hulu, netflix, Amazon video, hbonow.com. YouTube will work, but not the other video streaming services. Every other feature works fine with screenmirroring. The video just goes black on the TV but still plays on phone fine.
Google?

I have the same problem described HEREand have searxhed and searched and am searching right now and is how I came across your thread.. lets get this fixed. Btw i can get slingtv to work also i am beginning to thinkit is the app services themaelves. Lets jeep this thread going.
Found an answer HERE I had come across the fix of disabling hdcp in build.prop but didn't know own what it really meant. Basically hdcp is DRM or copyright protection and when you alter your stock software the apps that use hdcp will not function properly. There is no current or expected fix.

Netflix connection error from a phone/tablet to TV
Has anyone found a fix yet for mirroring Netflix to a TV using a phone or tablet please?
As with everyone else I see my phone mirroring function works fine too but as soon as I hit play the TVs mirror function is cancelled. Someone suggested a rooting problem fix but my Samsung Galaxy S7 is not rooted so is there another fix please?
Netflix Mirror Black Screen.
The Black Screen issue is not due HDCP,content protection or everything else you may heard before.is more of a Bug.Here's the fix.

Hi,
I'm trying to have my Samsung galaxy note pro 12.2 mirror the screen to a chromecast connected to a tv.
When I try to choose share screen in the chromecast app (latest version) it freezes the tablet so a home-power is needed.

Any solutions to this?

ChromeCast and Galaxy S6

Hello to all,
i would like to know if Chromecast works well on the Galaxy S6 with:
1) ScreenMirroring ?
2) 1080p 60fps made with the phone (smooth playback on TV) ?
3) 4K made with the phone (smooth playback on TV) ?
I really would like to buy this phone and because of the missing MHL port i want to know if it works fine with the above mentioned points.
Thanks a lot
RubenMMS2
Someone with the S6 and Chromecast that could gave this info?
thanks and best regards
RubenMMS2
sgs4 experience
i'm still waiting for the s6 but i have a s4 and a chromecast dongle
when samsung didnt changed anything i'm afraid the default "screen mirroring" function will not find your chromecast
it is only supported by samsung tv/dvd/etc..
you can add a AllShare Cast hub because as far i know this is the only supported receiver
BUT you can allways use the chromecast app to mirror your screen wich works quite well with most things
1080p is ok but i suppose 4K will not work well...
I'm afraid that clonednull is right. I have an S6 and a chromecast and it doesn't find it when using the built in screen mirroring. You have to use the Chromecast app to initiate it.
I had no idea this would be a thing. It used to worked with Nexus 5.
Could this be a Google issue and not Samsung?
The s6 is not on the list of supported devices at the moment. One can hope.
https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/6059461
It is working quite well. I bought one for my partner which works with my S6
You have to use the Chromecast app, but Screenmirroring is supported, as are some of the basic apps like Youtube.
But of course the quality is not as good as it would have been using an MHL-Adapter( if that was possible).

It's working for me on the s6. I didn't watch a whole movie, but I got it to connect with Amazon instant video with screen mirroring. When you first turn on Chromecast in the upper left there is a menu that says "devices." In that menu you will find screen mirroring. It says it's a beta version.
There are already 2 things about this phone that Irk me.. Both being chromecast compatibility and MHL. I hope these issues can get worked out ASAP. dont know why samsung could not make the device at least MHL compatible...
