Chromecast and security topic

I am involved in a project that will potentially utilise Chromecasts out in the field.

Our main concern is that if the CC is attached to a publicly accessible WiFi AP, it can be tampered with, and inappropriate material cast to it.

Of course, we can create a private WiFi AP to use for the sole purpose of the CC, which is an acceptable solution.

But I'd like to know if there are other options available. I have seen there is a CC "ROM" that can be flashed to the device to replace the original firmware. Does this new firmware include any added security, or indeed offer the possibility to add extra security?

green screen in Chromecast topic

First of all I don't know if this is a general question or modding-related as I am running leankernel 1.5 and latest Rastapop but are other people (running custom or not) successfully casting their phone's screen to Chromecast? I am not talking about separate apps like Youtube etc. they do work fine on me as well. The problem appears when I just connect my entire phone through the "Casting" tile from quick settings in order to do some picture browsing or use an app or a game through my tv. Then my tv just shows a "dead" green screen and that's it :confused:

Data use on streaming on Chromecast topic

A little background here, i am yet to order the google chromecast as i have one question on my mind.
I live in a country where high speed Internet is both expensive and limited. Thus my monthly internet cap is 60 GB for 8Mbps or 1MBps speed.

So my qiestion is , when local content i.e content on my phone , tablet or pc is streamed via wifi to the chromecast , is this data consumed from my internet bandwidth. Say i stream a 2Gb movie , will 2 Gb be deducted from my internet limit as my wifi router was used ?

Sorry if this is a naive question , but I do need some clarification regarding this.

Thanks.

Chromecast Screencast - Anyone had success? topic

Has anyone had success using the screencast feature on their chromecast with this phone? I tried installing the latest CyanogenMod nightly (cm-11-20150104-NIGHTLY-epicmtd) along with the gapps-small for CM 11 from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps#Downloads and the phone was able to find the chromecast and even begin connecting to it in order to start the screencast (the TV screen even changes to black to show that it is trying to connect), however Google Play Services immediately crashes on the phone afterwards and causes a disconnect. An error then appears on the TV saying something went wrong while connecting and to try again.

I just wanted to know whether anyone was successful in using this or if they know how to make it work. Any info is appreciated.

Protect Chromecast topic

Hello guys,

I am thinking about buying a Chromecast. The only thing that stops me is the protection of it.
I currently live in a big student house with 16 other people. The wifi network is shared with all of us. I'm pretty sure some of my housemates are going to troll me with the Chromecast since it's so easy to connect to it.
The question is if there is a way to protect my future Chromecast by whatever method (whitelist, password etc).
I have no control over the router and I dont think I will get that. I also dont want to spend a lot money in buying (network) stuff.
I don't mind rooting and stuff like that.

Thanks in advance,
