Need help/ideas. want to be able to cast youtube to a lineageos device (waydroid) - General Topics

so, my goal is to run waydroid (android on Linux) and be able to cast YouTube videos to the YouTube app for android tv. waydroid is essentially, an android compatibility layer for Linux. It runs atop lineage, and allows you to run android apps on Linux. my goal is to be able to cast youtube from my phone to my linux computer via waydroid, and lineage. Not sure about what the simplest way of doing so would be. would it make sense to spoof lineage to an android tv box? can that even be done? is there a way to install android tv specific apps onto lineage? the linegae os build i'm using comes with GAPPS, but i don't know how to install the youtube app for google tv.I've even thought about building lineage from source, but i'd only do that as a last resort. Again, i'm trying to cast youtube from my phone to essentially a stock android lineage, rather than casting from my phone to a chromecast. I've thought about using smarttubenext, and some other similar apps, but i want full youtube cast support, meaning not having to pair with a tv code.
Does anyone have any idea on how to install youtube for android tv on top of a semi-standard lineage build?

how to gain access to google tv apps to use with other devices. is there even a point

i am looking for the Airtight app that will let me stream content from IOS device to my MK802 Android 4.0 USB stick that i have hooked up to my TV. since it is a GTV native app, i cannot get it from the play store on either my galaxy note or my allwinner 10 device spoofing a xoom tablet.
since iGTV is basically just like any other android device my MK802 should be able to run it. is there a way to spoof the play store to get the app, or is there anything i can do to get it ?
Any progress on this? I would also like to use the GTV UI on another Android device...

[Q] Installing & Running Android TV apps on a tablet?

I have a Nvidia Shield Tablet running Android 5.0. This tablet has HDMI so I think it would be useful if I could run some of the apps designed for Android TV on it.
I was able to extract the APKs from the Nexus Player factory image. LeanbackLauncher, LeanbackKeyboard, etc. None will install properly on the tablet though. Install fails without any details. Eventually it would also be nice to get the Netflix TV app (com.netflix.ninja) too.
Has anybody had success doing this, or ideas on how to accomplish it?

Can't run Android TV apps (WWE Network)

Hi, so I have a Shield Tablet (stock, not rooted) and want to watch WWE Network from outside the US, but the WWE Android app requires GPS verification that though I can fake, but the process takes very very long every time I select another video to watch and for some reason the streaming quality is always in SD.
There is a WWE Network app on Google Play for Android TV that doesn't have the GPS verification, but I can't download it with a non-Android TV device. So I grabbed it somewhere else and sideloaded it to my tablet. It did install, but I can't open it. The "Open" text in the window that comes up after sideloading an apk is greyed out or missing (can't remember anymore), and the app is nowhere to be found besides in the app management settings.
I mean, why can't I run the app? Afaik Android TV is a restricted version of the full Android, so the full Android should be able to run Android TV apps, right?. Is there a hack that lets me run Android TV apps on my tablet? Can I perhaps install Android TV on my tablet if nothing else works?
Appreciate any help. Thanks!
Anyone please?

android device to use on a tv

Hi,
I'm after some advice. I need to connect an android 5.x device to a tv using hdmi. It need to be full android as per a tablet. Ideally the device will have a standard resolution such as 1920 x 1080.
The reason being I have to install some software for android that turns it into kiosk mode and then run digital signage software. The software is site kiosk by provisio.
The tv will be a large format touch screen so in essence a giant tablet. I could plug in a tablet which would work but it seems a waste as I don't need the tablet screen.
Are there any devices I could use, off the shelf or something I could get and then install android on to. I was thinking of an rpi 3 but seems android doesn't work yet on the pi, well not android 5.x anyway
I also looked at android tv devices but I'm not sure these run a std android os and therefore the software I need to use may not install.
Any suggestion would be great fully received.
Thanks....

MX10 | Install Android TV OS (?)

Hey Community,
is there a way to install Android TV OS on the MX10 box?
I couldn't find anything on google so far, I really need a version of Android TV for it, because otherwise it is useless for me.
I just want to use the Remote control and don't want to use any mouse or keyboard.
Btw. if there is no chance to install a Android TV OS for it, is there a way to start some Android TV apps like netflix, without a error message (Device is not supported)?
Thanks
Regards
