Here is how I got to work Spotify via vasting on my razer forge since even newest app would not detect it,new chromecasts and old ones are ok with it.
If you have amazon fire tv or fire tv stick or can use friends either device then all you need to do is log in with your amazon account and then extract spotify connect from fire stick or fire tv,then sideload it to your nexus player/shield/forge or sony android tv.
You also need to sideload amazon appstore (underground now) and log in with your account.
You will then be able to use spotify via casting from your phone tablet etc.
Take a look at my post on Razer Forums:

Enjoy!

it won't do much for you unless you can disable Amazon DRM. It will only work with my account or - your account
What I can suggest that you make amazon account,download their appstore and download the spotify connect to your device and then you will be registered (at least add click to cart and purchase it for free) then hit me up and I will post APK for you.
It will work this way.
Connect apk
Yes can you please post the spotify connect apk you pulled, I have amazon app store and purchased the app. I tried using the 0.0.6 version on my nexus player but i think it's too out of date. Thank you

why not use Spoticast in the first place?
Anyway, this is all annoying and those are just cheap workarounds. We need this to work directly from the official Spotify app without any tinkering. As far as I can see, the Android TV Google Cast functionality has now been degraded to something you could call Google Cast Light ...or Google Cast 2nd Class. As both, a Spotify Premium and an Android TV user I hate to say I'm disappointed, especially since e.g. Deezer has been working without issues on Android TV for ages. Either I've missed it or neither Google nor Spotify have mentioned Android TV compatibility at all in this case. This is the beginning of Google Cast fragmentation...

There is no link to the APK and your account. If they have an amazon account they can just install the underground, login, install spotify, open spotify (dont have to do anything, just open it) then on your phone\tablet\whatever, choose the Asus NexusPlayer.

Spotify Connect APK attached. Amazon Underground can be obtained from here.
works for one song and then fails. Songs play but no audio
amazon.com/Spotify-Connect/dp/B00N1XIY5Q/
Apparently upgraded. Do you have the apk for 0.2?
Why not just use the Spotify add-on in Kodi?
I´m also interested in latest APK.
Could someone please upload the file, I cannot download it "You are not eligible to purchase this app due to geographical restrictions. "

set the browser ua to desktop by typing about:useragent in the adress bar. then log into the gmail desktop site. once logged into google go to the web market at market.android.com/movies
the movies will play in the browsers video player at 480p which is the phones native res anyhow, I'm sure this is the same as google video will play it. they are hosted by youtube and I don't see the hq modes on my pc so id guess that's the quality limit.
this way it will play throuh mhl with no problems.
im rooted. the download wouldnt install from the market. it would start and then just stop for no reason. so i installed from apk. it works now, and with the market too. divx movies forward over to play in the samsung player.

Hey Jack thanks for the apk. It installed just fine but when I tried to play a movie I rented from the market (Wedding Crashers Unrated) I got the following error:
Playback not supported on rooted devices (Error 49)
Have you rented a flick from the market and if so were you able to watch it? I'm rooted and running Infused 153. Thanks again man.
Set the browser user agent to desktop, browse to the Android Market website, and launch the movie from there. Think that may work.
nope, i have yet to see anything i would want to rent over netflix.

ok, I'm a complete novice so can someone please tell me how to do this? I'm getting the rooted error 49 too and have no idea how to get the movie to play. I don't know how to open it in the browser either, so I am totally lost. I have a feeling I just wasted 3.99. Lol.
Dood's Music Streamer streams music from Grooveshark, but it has been removed from Google Play.
It's a free app, if anyone is interested, you can get it here: http://dms.mysticdeath.com/
Removed from Play Store? What the hell? Way to go, Google/Grooveshark.
I downloaded this from the play store a month ago. A few days after I noticed it was removed from the paly store, i can't play my grooveshark playlists anymore. :crying:
Why was it removed?
It allows you to download songs for offline usage, maybe Google has a problem with that.
There's a new page for this app: http://dms.mysticdeath.com/

I gives you free access to paid features of Grooveshark. Borderline piracy and Google wants to steer clear of that stuff. Whole reason why GS isn't in the play store.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
My guess would be that Google would prefer you purchase your content through play music. Rather than have easy access to a free alternative. I don't blame theme either. I'd do the same.

GrooveShark decides anybody else using their service to offline cache music is illegal except through their own app.. which costs. Figures...
Does anywhere know where the app exports playlists too? I can't find a directory, i want to export my playlists to my other devices without having to redo them all.
thanks
I was searching it, thanks for sharing us DM streamer.

How do you activate shuffle in doods?
Seems like both Dood's and Tinyshark are not working in 4.4 :crying:
They were working on 4.4 but when I updated to 4.4.2 it broke compatibility with doods and other apps that have lock screen controls. Volume rocker mods won't work cause of the lockscreen issue.
Works for me using v1.3.3 on nexus 7. Just apply the new v2 of the ‘songs not playing fix’ (soft button, settings, songs not playing fix, on v2).

Just a quick heads-up for everyone: The dev released a new version of the app,the 1.3.4 which is supposedly fixing bugs among the one which made the search by artist/album option not working.
Sign into grooveshark on Doods?
Is there a way to sign into doods music player so I can sync my playlists with Doods music player?

Sorry but you have to search for your Grooveshark username to download your playlist. So make sure it's a very unique name. I found out mine was not very unique and and to try about 25 of them before I found mine.

Be sure to update to the latest version if you are having issues with the IP Block issue on Android KitKat 4.4.2. Latest version is 1.3.6 as of this posting and it fixed my issues when on 4.4.2 on my Moto X on U.S. Cellular. You can get the latest version from his site shown below.

App doesnt seem to be working for me..is it not working for anybody else either?
Hey guys, I wanted to see who all here has picked up a chrome cast and what your thoughts are on it so far?
I really dig it, quick connection and ability to play things with no noticeable degradation or lag. And with HBO Go and Hulu Plus both coming soon it is going to be really nice.
One issue though that I have found is that the previous version of Google Play Movies allowed you to play locally stored videos on your device through the app. With the update to work with Chromecast this option is removed even when trying to do it on your device only so you have to use an external app such as the gallery or MX player etc.
Any word or people working on creating a cracked version of google movies or a work around to allow other apps to chromecast?
Read somewhere that clockworkmod and someone else have done it or are really close. Check Chromecast development

This may be irrelevant now, and if so I apologize for the waste of time, but I have found that if you open the video files in a Chrome tab, they can be cast that way. At times it can be a little inconvenient, but I think the video/audio is pretty good.
If you are using your NP as Chromecast-receiver, be sure not to miss that Google has released that part as a separate app.

I had lots of app that didn't work casting to Nexus Player but worked to the original Chromecast but now they all work.
Can someone that understands this explain what would prevent any and every android device from becoming a cast receiver now that its a separate apk?

Care to elaborate? My Nexus Player is running this version of Google Cast already yet Vudu and Disney Movies Anywhere still don't "see" it as a device to cast to.
anybody use Amazon Music? Been using Google, but wanted to try Amazon since free. After installing notice casting option not there. It show on wife's non Samsung phone, but not mine. Nope, cant cast from app.
Anybody able to get this to work, or does it natively work for you? If so, did you k stall from somewhere other than Google play store?

I can't answer your question about casting. I do like Amazon Music though. I use the payed version because the streaming music fidelity is very high. AFAIK Tidel is the only other choice for high fidelity.
OK, for others, figured this out. There is a bug on family plans Prime where only main Prime member can cast. All other family users can only cast if logged in as main account holder... Which screws up personalized playlists.
Mine doesn't work well for casting. If I have it on the TV and am cleaning or whatever where I am not touching my phone it stops every song or two until I touch the phone...
No other service does this for me.

Maybe you need to set the app to never close in the battery saver menu.

While I don't use Amazon's music service, I did find that my preferred media player was being limited by the Samsung "Background usage limits". I put the app into the "never sleeping app" list and then it continued to work well when the phone went to sleep or screen locked. Hopefully this willl tip help you.
So the answer is... Broken. Amazon admits won't work properly with anyone other than Primary Amazon account holder. So, I used my wife's account to log into music and it works, however stupid Amazon didn't keep log in on the app separate from other Amazon apps so all Amazon apps think I'm the primary and that won't cut it, particularly for Amazon shopping as I get her lists and history,.
