Hey ho.
Has anyone ever tried to get the Google Cast Receiver working on the tablet?
As it seems not possible to just install the Google Cast Receiver app, because Google made sure only official devices are being talked to, I was wondering if it may be possible to port the SHIELD TV receiver to the tablet.
Any experiences?

I recently learned about Samsung's WI-FI All-Share Cast Hub (wireless HDMI Display Adapter). See details here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0089VO7MY
I'm thinking about getting one to use with my 5113. Before I do, I thought I'd ask here if anyone has tried and/or used one.
Thanks in advance,
Rich
Does your device support all share cast or are you just looking to add DLNA to a TV?

You hit upon my confusion. I'm confused about DLNA, Miracast, AllShare Cast. I've been unable to learn if either Miracast or AllShare Cast is supported on my Samsung Galaxy tab 2 10.1. I am running stock (but rooted) Android 4.1.1 on the device.
I should have asked about solutions rather than specific technologies. What I would like to do is:
1. display/show pictures that are on my Samsung Galaxy tab 2 10.1 on my TV screen wirelessly
2. display/show videos stored on my tablet similarly
3. watch Youtube & HBOgo videos on my TV using the cabailities on my tablet
I am familiar with WiDi and would like that capability as well so that I can also use my Windows 8 table to connect to my TV.
If you go to Samsung they are out of stock. I hope they are upgrading this box so it is a lot speedier.
If you read the reviews for this device on amazon it seems it may be too slow.
As for all share cast just go to the play store and see if your device supports the app.
I am also considering one of these to add DLNA to an older 61" plasma display. My tab 2 7.0 does not support cast, but I have alot of videos that work with allshare.
I think streaming won't work without cast, but that is a guess.
I got the allshare cast dongle today. I bought it for the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 but it does not work
I also have a SIII. That works fine. On the S3 you can connect with the dongle from the connection settings. It has a option AllShare cast. The Tab 2 does not have that option.
Please let me know if you have a solution.
I use a tablet as a Miracast receiver. I had a old china tablet with Android 4.2.2 and Miracast was working without a dedicated application like Miracast Receiver. Now I have a new one with Android 4.4.2 and it is working only if I run Miracast Receiver application. Can anybody tell my why?
Hello, first of all.
It's been a long time since I have visited this place, so excuse me please if I missed a similar thread. I have searched for it.
My question is if it this possible to turn my old Motorola XT 720 into an Android TV box (i.e. Chromecast or similar).
I have tried CheapCast app that only crashed when opening YouTube. This phone has a HDMI port and I assumed it can connect through it to my Philips TV, which is not a smart TV, but a regular HD TV.
The only connection I was able to create was the built-in version of media gallery from phone which has the option to display the pictures from phone on TV screen (proving there is a working connection at least).

This should be possible as the device has the ability to use another display. I would recommend using something like Tablet Remote or other similar apps on the Play store so instead of using the device as a chrome cast you can use it as a full media center device connected to your TV. By using one of these apps you would play videos directly through your device instead of "casting" them. This should hopefully work arround the issue of apps like CheapCast crashing.
Hope I could help and good luck
Thank you, Tablet Remote works good between the 2 Android phones. Still working on it.
I am also working on this route, trying to make use of my screen-broken Xperia Z. However apart from using as mediacenter with kodi, it would be nice if I could properly emulate chromecast. I would love to see a nexus android TV Rom being able to drive my phone, is anybody working on that?

Is there any way to cast media from an app, specifically Google Play Music and YouTube, from a Nexus 6P to a Nexus 7 (2013), similar to how a Chromecast casts those apps?
I'm trying to get a tablet head unit install working elegantly, and casting GPM/YT from my or my passenger's phone while still being able to use Maps navigation natively on the tablet would be the most elegant solution I can think of. If anybody knows of a way to do this or something similar, let me know! I'm willing to pay for an existing app or to incentivize the development or release of a new one. Thanks
I have the same question. I've been searching everywhere for a similar solution with no luck. I want to cast youtube music from my android phone to a nexus 7 tablet on the headrests. (Not just screen mirroring, that creates a sound lag.) Did you ever find a solution?
In other words, how do turn my tablet into a youtube "sink" or receiver?
hi all,
i'm planing to buy an USB-C to HDMI Adapter to connect TV, but still don't know about supporting of Xiaomi mi mix2 with MHL.
Is it possible to show the smartphone's screen on TV and play videos with this adapter, anybody knows?
If no, are there alternative ways to get it (chrome cast and dlna are not a option)? May be with software?
thanks!
I went to a local best buy and tested out a USB C to HDMI dongle, unfortunately it did not work.
However using Chrome Cast to mirror the screen works great.
screen printing？
