[Q] Miracast and Google Play Music are incompatible - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have two Nexus 4 and one New Nexus 7(2013).
I try to use Google Play Music on those devices to miracast with my PTV3000.
No one can work successfully.
Environment:
Two Nexus 4 with official 4.3 ROM and include Google Play Music (5.1.1109K.772337).
One Nexus 7 2013 with official 4.3 ROM and include Google Play Music (5.1.1109K.772337).
PTV3000 (both version 2.2.16 and 2.4.3 are tried)
Test Step:
1. enable wireless display and start Miracast to PTV3000.
2. Wait until the Miracast connection is established.
3. open Google Play Music, and select any song to play
=> a. can't play
=> or b. Miracast is broken.
I try to rollback Google Play Music version to 5.0.1042J.737497.
It works like a charm.
Could someone help me to reproduce this issue and report to Google?
Thanks.

Cant fetch license error

I just bought a movie on Google Play and when i try to play or download it it says cannot find license (Error 901). It works fine on my Nexus 7 which is running the same setup but not on my nexus 10. Any suggestions?
FIXED: Uninstalled Google Play Movies & Tv with titanium backup then installed again through play store for anyone else having the problem.

[Q] How to play downloaded movies on TV

If I have downloaded movies on my nexus 7 2012, 4.4.4, how can I play them on my TV? I download movies that are a variety of formats. Usually play them on my tablet with MX, Diceplayer, or VLC. Is there anyway to get them on my TV? I have a 7 year old Panasonic plasma TH-50PX80U.
Chromecast. If you have hmdi.
Sent from my SM-N900P using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
i thought chromcast would play certain subscription channels. i want to play movies from my nexus 7 2012, that are playing video files that i copied to the device, and they are playing in vlc, mx, diceplayer, etc.
Chromecast can do this, you can stream directly from certain apps on your device, or from your chrome browser on any PC, to the chromecast via your wifi network.
There are also other apps that help extend this functionality on our device, such as localcast and allcast, both free in the play store.
I've streamed movies/tv from MX player to my chromecast using the allcast app and it worked pretty well.
There's also a mod available to stream your screen to the chromecast without needing an extra app; i've not had the chance to test this myself yet, but it's been reported to work well (here's the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193) .
This functionality is now native to the 2013 Nexus 7, but sadly not for grouper
The link "[EXPERIMENTAL] Enable Mirroring from any device" that you mentioned said that we need to have "root access on your device". How would I know if I have root access?

[Q] Issues Casting to Nexus Player (Starz/Showtime/Sling)

I can cast most things. But Slingbox, Showtime, and Starz are having issues casting to Nexus Player.
The other Chromecasts I have in the house work perfectly fine with these 3 apps. But casting to Nexus Player doesn't work for those apps.
Anyone else having these issues?
Edit: I am using an iPhone 6
I came to post the exact same thing! Showtime and starz both don't cast to nexus player. I tried using different frequencies on wifi and used a USB to ethernet adapter on player until I finally tried the apps to my chromecast with no issues. This is a major bummer! I also noticed that when casting HBO GO voice wasn't in sync with video. Nexus Player is definitely buggy hopefully they push out a bug squashing update soon.
ok. Well at least it's not just me. I posted on google forums as well. Maybe a google employee will see it? Hopefully they know about it.
Are you on android? Don't think it's an OS thing...
I also tried it from starzplay.com to nexus player. That doesn't work either. So I think it is a problem with nexus player casting. Some bug fix is needed.
Funny I have an app that works when casting to a nexus player but not on chromecast. Seems like there is more to the googlecast protocol than I thought. I thought the implementation would be the same on all devices.
Sent from my Nexus 5
I can add casting chrome desktop doesn't work to the Nexus Player either. I get a black screen (just like with showtime app). Again works perfectly fine with chromecast. I hope this gets resolved soon. Another thing I noticed is the HDMI-CEC. I can cast things to the player and it will turn on the player but it doesn't change input if the TV is currently on like the chromecast does.
Devices I've used with same results are Nexus 5 (lollipop), 10(kit kat), and Acer Chromebook 13.
vudu showtime anytime abc all dont work properly, yet android and windows screen mirroring and windows chrome tab casting works much better, i was able to sideload hbogo, maxgo, showtimeanytime, and vudu ....which can all be used with a mouse and keyboard combo like the logitech k400 as long as you have a microusb otg to usb hub
Netflix via Chrome wasn't working for me
I had problems last night getting Netflix to load from my OS X box running Chrome. I clicked the Cast button in Netflix and I just got the spinning/loading icon. I then went to the Chrome Cast Extension, and "no devices found" showed up. When I went to Youtube, the Chrome Cast Extension showed the device.
I haven't tried restarting browser, but just wanted to see if anyone else was having similar issues.
I am also experiencing the same issue with Slingplayer on my iPhone 6. The cast icon appears within the player of the Slingplayer app, and my Nexus Player shows up as the cast device. However, when I select the Nexus Player, I just get an endless spinning/loading icon.
Also having some casting issues!
Previously had a Chromecast and everything I had worked great with it.
With the Nexus Player though, I have two apps that don't even give me the option to cast anymore (Vudu, Disney Movies Anywhere). It is like they don't "see" the Nexus Player as a cast capable device. Every other app I have works fine (Netflix, YouTube, Flixster, Twitch, Google Play Movies, etc).
So is the Googlecast part of the Nexus Player just different enough that apps written specifically for the Chromecast don't work with it or what?

The guy who developed the Videostream app pretty much said exactly what you said. They are not exactly the same. Unfortunate because I bought the Nexus Player for it's casting feature over Wifi AC and it turns out it doesn't work for the main website I want it to work for.
Solving Google Cast to Nexus Player Issue.
HI there,
Issue: the Chrome cast app in the Google Chrome browser no longer 'finds' the Nexus Player (Windows 8.1).
Fix: 1) Unistall the Chrome cast app in the browser.
2) Navigate to your AppDate file in the Windows user folder (view, shown hidden files etc.)
3) Find and delete the Chrome Cast app data.
4) Reinstall the Chrome Cast app in the browser.
Finding the app data in step 3), above can be a chore, as it will depend on your particular Chrome browser's configuration. You may need to go to other Windows or Google forums to learn how to locate the file.
Cheers.

Google Nexus 10 is not able to play private Android app.

Hi,
I have Google Nexus 10 and I have rooted it. I have build my own video player app which I am typically using it to play H264 encoded RTP streams.
But I am not able to play the RTP stream on Google Nexus 10 using my video player app. However, I am able to play the same RTP stream using the same APK on other tablets like Google Nexus 9, Samsung Galaxy Tab4, and Microsoft Surface Pro 3.
NOTE:
I am able to play RTSP stream on using my app on Google Nexus 10 but not RTP stream.
But while playing RTP stream using my app, log shows:
udp_resolve_host: No address associated with hostname
LAVF_header: av_open_input_stream() failed
Is there any Firewall / app protection settings that I need to change to be able to use my app?
I have "Unknown sources" option checked under security-->Device administartion settings.
**An update to my above question.
I debug this issue further more and I found out that getnameinfo() API call is failing on Google Nexus 10. So I am using ff_getnameinfo() instead as a workaround for this issue and I am able to play RTP stream now.
Can any expert please let me know why getnameinfo() API call might fail, but only on Google Nexus 10? Possibly a security or Android config issue ?
NOTE:
getaddrinfo() API call does not seem to be failing. Android version on Google Nexus 10: 4.2.2(Jelly Bean).
Thank you,

JVC Android TV (Android 7.0)

Hi,
I bought a JVC Android TV (Android 7.0) but missing Google Play Store; instead there is a JVC Market (Aptroid based). I tried installing Google Play Store along with the Google Services however Google Services is installing successfully, but not showing anywhere for configuration.
Any advise how to successfully install Google Services and make it work...? Do I miss any other component...?
Furthermore, I can open Google Play Store through the browser and successfully sing-in into Google Play Store but my device (Android TV) is not listed in my devices. Can I add a device manually in Google Play Store...?
I have a 4K 65" 3D JVC TV With android 4 and also looking at ways to get Android TV 7 on it.. any help would be appreciated
