Are there any good ones out there? Tried 2 different ones from the play store and didn't even work. Any suggestions?

I can't get this thing to work with my Skyrocket. It installs and even opens just fine, but anytime I open any video it plays about 5 seconds of commercial before freezing. I have to force stop it in settings to try opening it again but again anytime I try and play any video live or replay it starts up for a few seconds then freezes. It would appear that the problem is with the app itself, since it has an overwhelming number of 1 star ratings on google play with a ton of people reporting the same issues over several different phones, but I was just curious if anyone has gotten it working on the skyrocket...
If this thing could actually work it'd be really neat. Live streaming video of almost every match you can think of.

I've tried it on a few different devices and didn't have luck with any of them.
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

Koushik Dutta is still working on it. Still in beta and will self destruct after 2 days but it is a amazing start

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.
Has anyone else had freezing videos after the 4.4.2 update? The sound is fine on the videos but the video part is freezing skipping lagging very badly.
Have you tried a 3rd party app?

Yeah I tried VLC and a couple others. I can record fine but not play. Even YouTube videos are doing it. Weird
The battery also dies extremely fast. When I plug phone into computer it freezes my phone right away

Are you talking about the issue where YouTube is all grayscale, and has about 4 different horizontal strips, only the top of which is the correct(ish) video?
If so, I heard that's the gapps package issue. Uninstall and reinstall from the market.
A temp fix is to change the video quality, and then restart video from the beginning. It fixes it for that single video. I'm a tad lazy and haven't tried the above fix, but I will right now!
As for the others, not sure!

Hey all
I've done a search but can't find an answer or a solution that works.
One of the many faults with the Z3 happens to be missing 1080p playback in youtube app.
Anyone have a working fix or an idea of why it doesn't work. Contacting Google is a joke.
Cheers/

Not a Z3 fault, it's YouTube App's fault. It is also happening right now on my Galaxy tab S, plus there are a lot of other people complaining about the same (read the Play store reviews) and all of them are from different models.
There was a way to fix it, I even did it when I first got the Z3, but after latest YouTube update it stopped working and the fix no longer works. It was to clear Cache and data from YouTube app, then disable it, then go to PlayStore and Enable it and download latest Update. Doing this always seems to have fixed the issue with My galaxy Tab S and the Z3, but like I said above, it no longer works, so now I have a Galaxy Tab S capable of watch up to 1440p YouTube videos and can only watch up to 720p videos.
On my other phones I'm able to play videos thru Hulu just fine. But on the mate 9 it just shows a blank screen forever. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app still doesn't work. It will still let me stream videos to my Chromecast though
I've had exactly the same problems. I've written a comment to the developers through the play store. You should as well. More people that write more likely we get a fix
Hulu works just fine on my Chinese variant 6gb/128. Although I downloaded my hulu through the amazon store. Maybe uninstall the one from play store and try installing the version through the amazon underground app?
I tried downloading thru Amazon app still has the same problem. I'm going to try one more thing tomorrow downloading the app and side loading it. Hopefully that works
