Not sure how you mean??

 

When I wake up on the weekends sometimes its earlier than I would like so I will just lay in bed and watch the matches on my phone on the NBC Sports Live Extra app, which works really well.

 

I wanted to know if I could then cast that app to my TV, which has no cable or satellite in my room. 

 

I have bought the Chromecast and since discovered that the NBC Sports app doesnt cast, but I can watch the matches on the Live Extra website with the Google Chrome browser and then cast that tab to my TV.  Not perfect, but it works.  Hope they support the app for next season.

 

I recommend the Chromecast, especially for a tv that doesnt have cable.

Tell me more about this, bought it today. How do I cast my chrome browser from my nexus 7?

Laptop screen decided to stop working so I have to get that fixed to get the most out of this thingy.

I havent got a Nexus 7 but if its like my phone you need to download the chromecast app and set it up. Need help setting up xbmc give us a shout.

Close evrything on your phone or Tablet.

 

Open Playstore Download Moliplayer and Y2cast

 

Download MX Player Plugin if you have MX already uninstall it http://s3.amazonaws.com/1.7.24/videoplayer_ad__1_7_24_neon_market.apk

 

Download the XAF version of XBMC http://ubuntuone.com/7ML3qJhxCczqrfw0uN28eH

 

Install both and Close

 

Download this http://www.mediafire.com/?a4c338nlwqaycep then copy and paste it to Android/ Data/ XBMC/ Files/ .XBMC./ Userdata and paste and replac. 

 

Now your Device is ready to play once you connect Y2Cast to the Chromecast

 

Its very easy

 

Can be done on the PC the same way with a decent Android Emulator

Right Si , ive followed all of this but how to i find the Android/Data/XBMC etc folder.... On the nexus??

Hi mate yeah, I found a better way same method like, But download file manager it doesnt hide any folders your path to store is, Android/Data/org.xbmc.xbmc/Files/.xbmc/User Data. But theres a better method, that costs £1.86 ive done it as it has much better results.

 

Download Avia and Unlock all its features

Download this http://www.mediafire.com/view/a3y3byisq12wksj/playercorefactory.xml and do the step your trying to do its a piece of piss.

 

Soon as you load something in XBMC it will load into Avia then you cast

wuaki are doing a deal at the moment, where you get some free content if you buy a Chromecast. So, the entire series of True Detective in HD - with a Chromecast works out at £28.99 plus £5 p&p and you get a £5 credit in the Play store.
