Higgings Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Ive got one and i use it regularly with apps like MovieHD on my Oneplus 2. Pretty decent but it depends what app you'd use to watch stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realist Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) Ive got one and i use it regularly with apps like MovieHD on my Oneplus 2. Pretty decent but it depends what app you'd use to watch stuff I'm planning to use Showbox, i'm sure it'd be similar to MovieHD e: do you literally just plug it in HDMI and configure w/ ur phone and ur good 2go?

Yup, really simple to useEdit: although it does need a usb power source, but most tvs come with a usb port Edited February 11, 2016 by Higgings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realist Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Yup, really simple to use Edit: althought it does need a usb power source, but most tvs come with a usb port so it goes into the USB port and the HDMI port? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgings Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 so it goes into the USB port and the HDMI port? Yeah, its a hdmi with a micro usb slot on the end which you can either plug into a phone charger or the usb port in your tv/ps/xbox etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Scripts Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I have tried to stream a movie through kodi genesis from my desktop to the TV with chromecast. Didnt quite work out unfortunately, the sound disappeared every now and then. Not sure if it works more stable from a mobile phone though.

I used to have similar problems but its because chromecast doesnt work well with some file types (most 720p) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have similar problems but its because chromecast doesnt work well with some file types (most 720p) Yeah, I tried streaming 1080p. maybe the newer chromecast supports better HD streaming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What add-on are you using with Kodi? Genesis used to be beast but it's really failing nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
