Chrome and Netflix chromecast not working on fire 8(10th) - Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General

Toolbox 26.1, Fire HD8(10th) 0020367984772. Cleaned, loaded Google Play, xfinity, netflix, etc. Unable to get Chrome or Netflix to cast as it does on my Android phone, or casting via running Netflix via Chrome and trying to cast via Chrome's cast option which is missing. Searched forums found others who asked but no solution. Amazon Video, and Xfinity works (they casts to chromecast). Thanks.

Download app airscreen on your android tv, connect same wifi, i cast fine

[Q] Playon

Anyone heard anything about using PlayOn with the gtab?
Would solve the issue with netflix and streaming my dvd collection on the nas box.
I use playon and some of it works, most doesn't. Hulu and Tv.com shows for example don't get past the initial ad. I use UpNPlay to access the Playon server from my tablet.
Playon works good with my PC's but not with the tablet.
Hrm...not really working for me...It can't find a video player to play the feed back successfully....
Bump!
I have the UnPlay app and PlayOn with the mobile settings enabled and the port opened. I can connect to my PlayOn Server Via 3g and via Wifi but I can't get the video to play over 3g... only works on Wifi it looks like it's going to play but then just flashes back to UnPlay! Also there's no cover art (screenshots) being displayed for anything at all like there is when browsing on wifi
I just signed up for the PlayOn Android beta but I don't know if i'll be selected or not.
Would be nice!

There's another thread from the other day on Netflix and Playon. The latest version added Android support to the mobile interface. Make sure you have the latest version installed and go to m.playon.tv from your local network. You should see your PlayOn server and be able to watch videos. I've only tried it with the Dolphin browser, make sure your user agent is set to Android. I even managed to connect to it ouside of my home network with my EVO over 3g and watch a Netflix movie.
This is working for me too. Make sure the user agent is set correctly as Matt said.
Does it seem like if you stop a video on a playon client the server still uploads or continues encoding? It's like the stream does not stop from the server.
playon works for me - including hulu and netflix on vegan 5.1 with Pershoot kernal (first time I've been able to see hulu!)
had to map the port mentioned in the playon settings interface in my router...
even works with the dock and an ethernet connection.
Started testing out the new beta for android support today on my tab and Evo. Works fairly well so far as you switch to the Phone display mode in your browser. A few little issues, but its still beta.
Playon and Netflix
Through Playon, I finally have access to Netflix! PlayOn is an additional cost and it does require a server running on a PC but I think it is worth it (for the short term anyways...).
My location: Canada -- apparently we are 3rd world when it comes to media streaming ...
My setup: GtabComb 3.1 on BL1.1. I have 10.3 Flash and using Opera Mobile and I have the Playon app loaded on my Gtab.
My Netflix setup: I am on the 30 day trial right now.
My PC setup: I started with the latest Playon version 3.3.8.2110 but that wouldn't let me login to Netflix. I contacted the PlayOn support group and they set me up with a PlayOn 3.3.9 patch. I ran the patch and my Netflix login issues went away.
Everything seems to play ok. One quirk with my HC setup is that I have to play the movie in full screen or else I seem to just get audio. I think this is a known limitation with this version of HC/flash. I will report back if I encounter issues.

[Q] How to stream via DLNA/WIFI Direct to my smart tv?

I noticed in Gallery I could play videos and pictures on my TV, which was awesome because it was wireless. But how do I, if it's possible, just show the whole phone on the TV. Or if not the whole phone, apps like emulators.
You can guess my main goal would be to play the amazing n64oid on my bigscreen, but having the ability to steam anything to the tv would be amazing. Note: this is without the need of adapters/dongles. Since it works for gallery I assume there is a way to do it with the phone or other apps.
Thanks!
Edit: Apparently it's called Wifi Direct and it is not enabled on our phones, yet.

How to enable google cast receiver on android tv box?

How to enable google cast receiver on android tv box?
http://www.apkmirror.com/?s=google+cast&post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk
any luck with it?
Be sure your Google Services is up to date, and be sure your installing Google Cast Reciever to /system/priv-app/. And be sure all TV frameworks & libs from gapps (tvstock) are installed. If that still doesn't work, try finding/installing a compatible updated TvSettings.apk. Good luck!
Hmm, I was only able to cast in youtube manually. As in having to enter the TV Code and physically starting the app.
I managed to update the Google Play Services and install the Cast Reciever and now I got it to connect automatically and start up the app (YouTube only though)

Technogym Unity and Youtube TV

We have a gym with Technogym Equipment and are located in the US. We have been asking for Technogym to add the US Streaming APPs like Youtube TV, Hulu, Sling TV, etc to their APP Store. To date they have not done that. Their IPTV and TV APP do not work well in our location. As a European company they have not made US APPs their priority.
Unity APP and Hardware is an Android Tablet device with Android 5. The Technogym APP store has Netflix and Youtube. They work fine.
Is there anyone on the forum that has experience with the Technogym Hardware and done any side loading of APPs? How would we go about loading Youtube TV? What issues if any would we run in to with the account data?
Any help would be appreciated.

PC alternative to Web video caster?

Hi all, using WVC on an android phone -
Although generally it works well, I get it stop every 10 minutes, I have to open the app, restart the stream and restream it. I am 99% sure its due to Androids aggressive battery optimisation, I have done as much as I can but cannot get the behaviour to change and now giving up on that.
I am wondering if there is any PC based alternative that has the same capability? Web video caster doesn't cast the browser tab, it finds the video stream in the page and sends that directly over wifi to the app which runs on the TV, its full screen and high quality and doesn't use Chromecast.
The TV's built in browser doesn't work for video sites, (probably missing a lot of plugins) and cast tab to the builtin chromecast doesn't work as it only works for "specific sites"
Any suggestions?
Do a Google search for "PC alternative to Web video caster?". You'll get dozens of findings ...
