I tried the cast function on the phone (Nexus 5) but somehow it can not find any device.
But using the Youtube app casting is working.
Can it work like the chromecast?

With my stock nexus 7 (KK 4.4.4) and wireless display enabled in display settings the screen mirroring works just fine. You have to be on the same wifi network as the nexus player of course then an option will show up in the right corner pull down menu to cast the screen to the player. If it still cant detect it then I am not sure what the problem is, you can try restarting both devices.
I can mirror my nvidia shield tablet on the nexus player with no problem. There is a sec delay but it works quite well, even the sound works. I'm running 5.0 on both devices.
I finally get it working with using the Nexus 5 as AP and let Nexus Player to connect the WIFI hotspot.
So far I can't figure this out, and I'm on the understanding that this can do everything the chromecast can. I use the screen mirror quite a bit!

Guys, I just want to share a tool app, that you need to enhance the mirror feature, that you are trying to establish with your Nexus TV Player.
Follow the link below and scroll down to two post with the above black Android icon on the folder photo, there you will find the tool app and instructions for mirroring and Google casting. Also check out the post with the above top photo, enjoy.

N7 casts from settings and notification menus. For my G2 I had to use the standard Play Store Chromecast app instead
I just got a Nexus Player today and when I tried casting my phone's screen to it, my phone kept saying "no devices found. I turned the Player off, then on, and then my phone found out right away. Just thought I'd mention what worked for me

Does XBMC need a plugin loaded to do that?
Update:
Figured it out... was the UPnP service, Got it running right now on my Nexus 7 using a Raspberry Pi with XBMC hooked up to my 60" HDTV....
While it is limited (not quite mirroring), it is pretty close. I am playing some Youtube stuff on it now. I also played a ripped version of Avatar I had on the Tablet.

Huh? There is no USB cable involved.
This is a Wireless (over WiFi) connection from the Tablet to a device (or TV) that has a WiFi signal to accept the connection to then display it on the Screen.
There is no USB involved. I have it working right now.

In the above, the Raspberry Pi has XBMC running in it.
The limits are the application Shot Beam. It can...
o Display what Photos images you have on your Device
o Play music files you have ON your Device
o Display what Videos you have on your Device
o Use your device's Network to Display YouTube
o Use your device's Network to Display Reddit Videos
See screen shot of App
Screen shot of app playing video
What it doesn't do, is display anything on your device which some people call mirroring.
The app appears to work okay, though it does fail a lot while playing videos. I'm not sure if it is the app wacking out, or the WiFi signal but based on other things I've done, the WiFi doesn't appear to be the issue.
I upgraded from my S3 to my S4 with expectation that Allshare Controll would be there. I've even seen it touted in reviews. But Allshare wasn't installed from factory, and the Play store has it not supporting my phone SGH-M919 (T-mobile version) - 2nd item in list in pic below.
It did list the Allshare Control Tab as being compatible, but it just gave me an error message saying it doesn't work with this phone, when I tried to use it. Since then, it no longer shows up a SGH-M919 being supported.
Is this the case for everyone?
I can't use Wifi Direct as my Samsung TV (PN64D550) only supports Allshare.

If you are talking about Allshare Cast, it has been renamed to Screen Mirroring.
If you are talking about Allshare Play, it has been renamed to Samsung Link.
If none of those suit your needs, you can always use DLNA which is called Nearby Devices (or something like that, my phone is in Portuguese).

Thanks, I was referring to Allshare Play (i.e. no dongle.) I didn't see the Samsung Link, but now I do. And it's not coming up when I'd click on a video/pic from my gallery and the hit Share.
That said, tonight I'll try to set it up and see if it get's added. I'm extremely surprised that I couldn't find any information when googling Allshare issues that it was renamed. And even more surprised that I can't find anything on it in the play store. When looking for Allshare, you'd think that if they're changing names, they'd also keyword allshare in to get links to it, but they don't have have Samsung Link available on the play store as far as I can see.
Stuff like this should be on their product page at least, and it's not there. I banged my head against the wall on this for the past week.
Can someone with Nexus Player please confirm if you were able to sideload Chrome Browser to your Nexus Player?
You don't even need to sideload it, you can straight up install it from the play.google.com site. I'm certain they don't have a 'leanback' interface for the browser yet so you're going to need a keyboard/mouse to actually use it.

Do you think a google TV remote could work for this? The Sony one has a keyboard/ mouse.

Maybe, I don't have any experience with them. Are they just standard bluetooth? I've been using a Logitech K400 with their usb adapter in an OTG cable.

Did anybode had issues with Chrome? When I first loaded it, the "accept terms and conditions" screen was all black. After a lot of back and forth, I was finally able to "blindly" hit the accept button. Now, from time to time, the keyboard screen just flashes briefly and then dissapears. I cannot type anything, not even from the remote app on my phone

I had the same issue. I couldn't get past the black screen, so I installed Dolphin Browser instead. Dolphin Browser works well if you're looking for an internet browser with plenty of features such as a download manager and user agent switcher. Similar to chrome, a keyboard/mouse are necessary.
I can CAST directly to my TV from apps, for example by tapping a photo in Google Photos, but I cannot cast the screen. It does not identify my TV as being available, though it does detect my PC. The TV is on the same WiFi network, and my phone must be able to communicate with it or I would not be able to cast successfully from apps.
In the Shade when I click the CAST BUTTON it does not respond in any way, eg. change colour, as other buttons do. Should it? However, I do get the notification which has the 'not found' report.

Hi, if you been able cast screen previously, and now it isn't work anymore, your problem probably will be in your network configuration. Firstly you should start with restarting -router and tv, unplug power cord, after cca 1 min reconnect -> test -> let us know..

It would be helpful to know what TV (Brand) or TV OS you point at. But it very much sounds like you are sharing via Chromecast (as you mention Google Photos works). But casting the Screen requires a Miracasts capable TV.... You can still cast the screen from within the Google Home App...

I just got a Ottocast PICASOU 2 PRO Carplay AI Box for my car. There is an 1 - 2 second audio delay on anything that I stream through my car speakers. I am trying to get into developer mode to see if there are somethings that I can change to eliminate the sound lag. Does anyone know what the password is to get into developer mode / factory settings? Or does anyone else have any other ideas on how to sync video/sound. I have updated it to the latest firmware off the ottocast website and all the apps are up to date on the Google Play Store. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
PICASOU 2 PRO Carplay AI Box

Developer mode is locked out. They will not supply a way in. the factory settings password is "126".
Type “adbdev” in password field.
alright......what most of us really want......go to play store and download LADB. instead of adbdev type adbwf. this turns on wifi debugger. then make sure you are connected to a wifi connection and open LADB. you now have shell.......adb away.
i like the way you filled us in on what youve learned so far. i just ordered my picasou 2 pro today so now im curious, did you ever fix that delay?? i just logged back into xda after quite some because this device has me curious.. do you have to turn your hotspot on each time in order to play videos or when it connects via bluetooth youre good to go.. your question brought me straight from google so im sure ill have the answer shortly cuz im gonna check out the forums but if youre bored and wanna talk about how you like the device so far id love to hear about it.. i was gonna get the streamtoyourcar 11 pro but decided on this bad boy last minute.. looking for an honest review from a fellow tech dude
