Block YouTube ads when casting from a smartphone - Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions

Hi,
I use YouTube Vance's on my smartphone, and when I cast a video to my Nvidia shield, I see many ads.
I know Chromecasted YouTube video ads are server side, so how to block them?
Do you have an idea?

No idea. but why chromecast, install SmartTubeNext to shield?

In fact, I like to "send" a video from my phone to the shield.
Having SmartTubeNext on the shield will permit that?

Yes, you can "link" SmartTubeNext app to your YouTube app and then when you send video you can choose SmartTubeNext

It works!
So thank you!

Youtube viewing on mobile

For example : http://www.youtube.com/results?sear...&search=Search&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&spell=1
When viewing on computer, when searching songs etc, featured video will be on the top, most of the time will be official music video.
However searching on phone using the youtube application, there wont be a featured video and even we have the direct link to the official music video, it can't be played. It will say "The video is not available for mobile"
Any ideas to make youtube searching be the same as computer and able to view those video that wont be available on mobile?
Did you use the youtube player to search the video... ?
Or just the webservice..?
I use both youtube application and browser to search but both is the same, can't display the offical music video of any songs.
try using another app like jetvd, u can search youtube that way and it plays videos that the youtube app cant. and if u long hold on it, you can actually download the video as well

lol.
Sure, write the content provider a strongly worded letter than you don't care for their copyrights and wish to view things on your phone.
The reason is they have the rights to show the video on a computer only. Those rights don't transfer to mobile devices or devices hooked up to a TV, like the PS3, Wii, or Google TV.
@isiyou125: OMG Thanks, it work now!!
@iead1 : You're wrong, the jetvd apps make it able to play it on mobile!
No. I'm right.
The app you're using is a way to circumvent copyright protection. Officially, YouTube doesn't have the mobile rights to that video.
Yea correct. Anyway I don't care about it when I still able to watch those video "not available on mobile" on my mobile.

Chromecast

Hi,
i am currently got stuck in developing a video -> chromecast tool. I know how to detect the upnp chromecast adapters and i also think i understood how chromecast works. I'm able to start a youtube video by POST command to my chromecast and i'm also able to stop the stream via DELETE and go back to the main window. How do i stream a local video or music file resp. an hls stream? I suppose it is the PlayMovies app which starts https://play.google.com/video/avi/eureka?${POST_DATA}.

Any way to cast video files from my Windows 10 laptop?

This method is supposed to work for Chromecast:
http://www.geeksquad.co.uk/articles/stream-windows-10-google-chromecast
Unfortunately it doesn't work for me with the Shield, has anyone else had any luck?
There are some chrome extensions for this, but they all seem to render the video in a tab and then re-encode it before transmission, resulting in horrible quality. Dragging and dropping the video files into Stremio or Popcorn Time sometimes allows me to cast them. But that is neither clean nor reliable.
Download AirPlay
If all else fails, you could try going the other way - playing videos on your Shield from a Windows share or Plex server.
I've come up with an okay solution. If I install Kodi on the Shield and enable UPnP then I can cast natively from Windows, but only if Kodi is already running. It's not 100% reliable but it's better than what I had and it doesn't require any "hacks", just an install from the Play Store.
You can cast straight out of the Chrome browser if your video will play in it.

Thanks, this works great for .mp4, unfortunately .mkv and .avi aren't supported.
Using Plex is a good option, but Chrome's cast also has an (experimental) option to cast your screen. Click the little down arrow on the top right of the cast menu.
Videostream works amazing well

Please any help for streaming to youtube from a nvidia shield android tv,I don't want to use twitch they seem to be bias towards twitch at nvidia,so guessing there's money involved here and they are not allowing apps to run as far as I can tell this is the case but may be getting it wrong? Tried Gusher it has a youtube option,it states on a youtube video it works but when i try it says live not enabled,it points me to a link to enable it via youtube,in your account profile or settings page,but this is stating live is enabled?But I create a live broadcast in youtube and once I publish it it states offline,I then srtp details method in Gusher and the same message pops up again enable live streaming got no clue how to ammend it or how to work around this,contacted google and nvidia google put me over to nvidia,nvidia fobbed me off stating the shield is using twitch so use twitch,we don't support youtube streaming??? They suck at this.Personally I'd tell them if I was president of google,I'd say look nvidia you use our android tv os but won't allow the live streaming in favor of twitch streaming either enable it or loose your rights to the os to use it on shield tv!I'd also say what no love for youtube streaming on the shield tv but you have a partner ship with an alternative live streaming provider instead of the live streaming provider of your os that's a bit of a poke in the eye.
UPDATE
Found an app that enables youtube live from within android tv os and that is this app BitStream https://play.google.com/store/apps/...roid&pcampaignid=APPU_1_Pz9_V_-nIciZgAa6l4Io%
1.88 gbp price 1080p max varied resolutions other than 1080p and no ads at that cost,it's awesome,1 flaw though the mic setting when enabled keeps the sound and microphone going all the time,you mute the mic though and it mutes the game stream sound as well.Just thought it might help those who can't enable live streaming option from the youtube site when using the shield android tv console

Shield TV for watching a TV in the UK

Hi Guys,
I am thinking of buying the Shield to replace my Sky box but have a few questions please.
1. If I buy HDHomeRun box and connect to Shield, will Shield's native tv channels app recognize HDHomeRun and display the channels properly? Or it will only work with HDHomeRun app? I want to use the native app as it allows to add more sources and has prettier / more integrated interface.
2. Will the native app automatically get correct EPG and live show descriptions without me having to setup anything else?
3. Can I record the shows from native app or should I purchase HDHomeRun subscription for that? If its through subscription, will the native app record the shows or only HDHomeRun app can record?
4. What about catchup tv? Can native app search and play catchup tv? If not, what are the options to set this up?
I basically want to have all-in-one option for both watching, recording and catchup so that all can be done via native channels app (or some other third party app) without me having to open seperate apps for catchup and waching. I want something to mimic Sky box.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.
