G+_Michael A Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 My go to chromecast for live twit broadcast has apparently been discontinued. Is there an alternative that I haven't been able to find? What chromecast app do you use? Right now I can still use the old app but it buffers constantly and, after checking multiple times, it's not due to my WiFi connection. Any direction would be great!

G+_L I Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 TwitCast? I've been using it too but on the Flosoft 480 mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Michael A Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Yea. That's the one. Need an alternative now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jeff Brand Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Since the Chrome browser for Android has an internal video player with HLS support, this URL should work: http://46.105.115.117/flosoft/smil:twitStreamAll.smil/playlist.m3u8 (as provided on http://wiki.twit.tv/wiki/Stream_URLs#Flosoft.biz) That is the HLS feed itself. Opened in Android, you should have a Chromecast logo visible and be able to start casting from there. If you get similar results, then it's the feed or your connection. There are other HLS links on the Wiki page to try. Tell us what works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jeff Brand Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Interesting note: The IP is owned by Flosoft and is likely physically in France. I wonder if the additional latency is part of the issue. Any significant transcontinental delays would factor in as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Richard Hargett Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I use Pocket Cast. Works perfectly fine for videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Michael A Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Hmm... I think u need to learn to make apps. The stream link didn't work for me. I got a Web page and yes, it had the chromecast icon but nothing would play. Just a black screen. Hmmpft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Michael A Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 I take that back. Yep! It works. Thank you Jeff Brand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jeff Brand Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Weird.. I'd love to learn Android app development and have been thinking about coordinating a full open source TWiT app. But, I gotta pay the bills.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
