A few my best:
1. Filesmaster.
2. My Passwords.
3. Video Player S2.
I do not talk about watch faces, there are millions of them in app store

1. bike counter
2. filesmaster
3. ebook reader

Watching a video on the watch should not be done... your phone is your friend there. Too small in my opinion.

I think id be happier if it had podcast app!
Also a tide widget or watch face

There is a tides app called TideChart. It does not have a widget and requires a companion app on the phone but it is useful and has some nice features.

[Q] App idea: Soundhound integration

Hi,
Casio's new GShock-GBA400 model watch is able to record music sample and query it from Soundhound app on the phone. Then it returns the result from app on the watch's LCS screen as song title.
The watch is communicating with the Android phone through bluetooth.
I believe this could be achieveable with our beloved Gear 2.
Any developer who could do this ? I'd gladly pay for such app.
any ideas?
is it possible ?
with the soundhound widget and Wearable Widgets app, I was able to do this. Of course it does not use the mic on Gear,instead uses the mic of the phone. But better than nothing.
I use AppLauncher and then added Shazam to the list. In Shazam, there's an option to enable the app to listen right after its been opened. Works great
A new app got posted today called Gearam Music ID - works great and seems to use the watch mic instead of opening an app on the phone. Bonus is you can immediately play to Google Music if you subscribe.

yes, I saw and tried that. Good one.
But personally I would prefer Soundhound. Because Gearam has a smaller DB (imho) , its recognition is not that well.

Gearam uses Gracenote DB.
I used to have Gearam Music ID installed on my watch, but I just bought a new phone and had do a factory reset on the watch when pairing them up. I want to reinstall Gearam but I can't find it in the store anymore! Does anybody have an apk for it?

Video Player?

I'm brand new to the Gear/Tizen scene. Is there a video player app that allows you to play local video files stored on the Gear S2?
Cant say I've seen one - if you do find one, do let us know
I've had video play when video search the through text. But no video app launcher
I believe Filesmaster does but have not tried it yet.

Definitely you must download Filesmaster. It plays video, music, show pictures and open some text files. Great stuff to play media and manage files and folders.
I use Filesmaster to transfer movies from phone to S2 and watch then in train on way to office. It even plays subtitles too, only SRT format so far.
Wrote to author to add TXT subs too.

Thank you! This was the one thing that still had me on the edge of whether or not to buy. (I'm genuinely surprised that this doesn't seem to be as big a deal for anyone else; could find no other discussion on it). Just placed my Gear S2 3G order now.

One can find a few good apps for S2 but still miserable with apps on Samsung Apps store.
However, it is begin, S2 is sold for 2 months yet, so should be better with apps soon. Probably in few months will be
thousands of apps for s2. Cheers!

Unfortunately this plug-in can't be added to the Play Store (for the obvious "Google will kick it in mere minutes" reason), which means we can't take advantage of the Play Store features.
Would there be any payment method other than PayPal that'd work for you?
I am chinese user I guess what I can do is use alipay(you even may not hear about that...).
beside that, i would like suggest add a zombie app in appstore and with payment, and update through xdalab, or i pm you play gift card.

Looks promising! But it seems like I am to stupid to find the download button.
EDIT: The playlist I created was for some reason a mixed, not a YouTube only playlist. Downloading a playlist created with YouTube directly works.
Is there a way to import a playlist already on my YouTube account? I can't seem to find that option.
:crying:
How can i get this app?
thank you !!!!
Hello! This is a great plugin but I have a problem: whenever I enter a search query and I am on cellular data connection it just keeps searching, offering no results. Is anybody experiencing the same?
i wish it has been free,would like to try it out.(I am not using any credit cards personally that's why ) Btw i checked the spotify plugin,in spotify i login using my facebook account and do not worry about the user name and pass.is there any way to login to spotify reading from system settings or any button to login to spotify using facebook or google acc?i mean for faster login option.Also I would like to contribute for translation to Turkish if you can send me the text fields to be translated.I don't understand the github database thing.
Great app
But still some Playback error's happen.
Btw, will this app get updated or does the devolopment stopped?
Maaaan why £2.00? I don't wanna pay for the privilege of having a YouTube plugin for a music player.
It doesn't work for me (see screenshot)... After clicking play button I can see the play button circling (around the pause icon) but never started playing.. Am i missing to configure anything in particular..
Is this plugin dead now? Looks like it hasn't been updated in a while.
It keeps spinning.
Download???
From where can I download it?

[APP] TubeCast - Youtube to Chromecast Audio

Hello everyone,
As you all know youtube app on android and ios does not support Chromecast audio, so I've developed a new android app that let users cast youtube to Chromecast Audio. It finds only audio track, so you do not need to worry about network traffic, as the audio track size is usually much smaller than the video size. My intension is to support more websites, currently it works best for youtube.
Key features:
- Detect music audio tracks from the websites you visit and cast to Chromecast
- Support queue, so you can add many items once and let Chromecast do the rest
- Support repeat playback, repeat all/one/none/shuffle
- Support playback and volume controls
- Built-in browser with multi-tabs
- If websites contain both video and audio, this app will select only audio track, so you do not need to worry about network traffic, as the audio track size is usually much smaller than the video size, which is very efficient for Chromecast Audio.
The app works pretty the same way as Google Youtube App, you click on a video, it shows a dialog and let you choose to play or add video to queue, and it also allows you to move the queue items up and down, and play the queue on repeat (repeat none, all, one or shuffle).
It can also with normal Chromecast video, of course, but you only see thumbnail on the tv screen, and the music, not the video, as I already mentioned - only audio.
Here's the video demo on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEGkoC6LPp0
And the app on PlayStore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sibimobilelab.castwebaudio
Great job!
What I miss:
-Add some way to store playlists
-Add whole playlist from YouTube (This could be too traffic intense and lead to banning the app that is already in gray area...)

Hi,
The idea is to create playlists with your youtube account and I will implement the feature to add the whole playlist to the queue. I will try to do so in upcoming releases.
I know it's risky to do things with youtube, but how do you know it's in gray area?

If you are asking yourself: "Is this legal?", then it is in the gray area.
You are providing easy way to get content without paying (YouTube red or ads).
-the playlist feature will be better if it works with playlists in general not just ones from your account.
-storage is local.
Because:
1.spares all the queries you have to make for each song in playlist every time you open it(there are playlists with hundreds of songs).
2.privacy concerns
Well, I think gg should provide youtube support for Chromecast Audio for free, just like they do with normal Chromecast, since they do not send ads to stream in normal Chromecast as well.
This app allows users to cast to chromecast audio only, not anywhere else, and not play locally or download videos/audios which I think will make it more "legal". So just let's wait and see
About storing the playlists, since I'm not using youtube API, and youtube is the only one of many websites this app supports, the video/audio links that I can get live only for a short time (approx. 1 day) then they will get expired, so storing playlists is not an option for me unfortunately. The official youtube app also does not store playlists locally.
Then make sure to not throw hundreds of requests at once when parsing the playlist.
And one small thing: the "playing" icon (the three animated bars) is annoying (at least for me). You have made plain simple UI keep it that way and just put the simple triangle thing without animation ( ▶ ). It's an Unicode symbol. (one less image to take care of).

Ok, thank you, I'll keep this in mind
This is GREAT! I purchased Chromecast audio only to find out I can't cast from Youtube app. Such a stupid move from Google
Perfect

2. is there a way we can donate to you, as you're a life saver bro!

Hi,
Thank you for your offer, unfortunately this app development is suspended and I've removed it from playstore. Now I'm working on an replacement - Amaze Browser, it can also cast youtube to chromecast audio, however the queue function is not yet added, I do plan to add it in future releases.

It would be a heavy request to google server and I avoid doing this to protect the app in play store . In fact I removed most of the things with YouTube - download, background playing, only leave the Chromecast feature.
Pls keep in mind that the queue feature is not yet added in Amaze Browser, continue to use Tubo cast if you need this feature.

It would be a heavy request to google server and I avoid doing this to protect the app in play store . In fact I removed most of the things with YouTube - download, background playing, only leave the Chromecast feature.

Tubo Cast was a great app so far!!! It would be great if you publish a hacked version out of the Play Store... I'd be glad to donate to you! Youtube playlist support is a must in my opinion... it'd be a killer feature for sure!
Maybe you could publish it on the Play Store "as is", and let we download an unofficial plugin that enables that feature!
Probably I'm only dreaming...

Hi, I cannot promise the playlist feature, what I have right now is a new version of tubo cast with the fix for the disconnection issue, I can upload it here.
Do you encounter the disconnection issue by the way?

Mh... I'm a new Chromecast Audio user, since I bought it last week, anyway, I tried several way to cast youtube contents to that thing... and your app (I found it somewhere around the web after reading this post) is the best solution because it doesn't need a constant stream between phone and chromecast. It'd be absolutely perfect with playlist support... and I mean perfect indeed!
I didn't have disconnection issue till now... I'm having more issues with apps like Deezer, just to say, because it randomly disconnects, starting to play the sound from my phone's speaker...
By the way "I can't promise" means "no" or "maybe"!

Means " no" for now
If you encounter the disconnection issue, follow the workaround mentioned in the home page to solve it
Again we published it to playstore, and also added premium verion.
Change log:
- Upgraded browser, added startpage, bookmark, history, search suggestion
- Use wifi wakelock to prevent disconnection issue
- Upgraded to more stable version of Google Cast API
- Added premium version
1.What is premium? Just supporting your efforts or something else? One can't really understand from changelog/app.
2.Is there a typo in the name? I see now TubCast instead of the previous TubeCast.
3.What is the difference to the other browser app that you are developing.
4.Is there a list of supported sites?
5.Any chance that vbox7.com can get into the list of point 4?
6.Youtube playlist support is not on the table anymore?
Thanks for update.

regarding your question:
1/ Yes premium is to add a little support for the development
2/ Tubecast is the name in playstore, in the app I made a tupo name Tubcast which is funny
3/ It supports queue, the other browser does not yet support queue, this one focuses on chromecast audio and shows popup dialog directly when it finds audio links, this app is also more lightweight and removed part of the UI in compare to another browser,
and the UI is more close to the youtube app
4/ It supports most of the sites except flash websites
5/ Will need to check with vbox7.com
6/ You still need to add songs one by one, adding the whole youtube playlist is not possible
