About Avia Media Player (Chromecast)

7/18/2017 - Fixed a crashing issue that appeared after a recent Google Play Services update. Casting now works again! Thank you to all of the users that reported this issue.


In-app purchase of $4.99 gives you Chromecast support, casting to Apple TV, Roku, WebOS and UPnP/DLNA enabled devices, support for themes and an ad-free interface.


Chromecast has been a success for Avia, to say the least. To add to the sweetness, we're now supporting casting to Apple TV, Roku and WebOS devices along with an updated UI, icons and themes. Avia 7.2 also offers overall stability improvements. Here are the features of 7.2:

Features:
• Updated user interface with simpler navigation and smoother response
• New icons throughout the app
• Casting to Apple TV
• Casting to Roku devices (need to install Avia for Roku)
• Casting to WebOS enabled TVs
• Improved stability and support for the latest Google Chromecast software
• Full playback control from your phone or tablet
• Music album artwork and artist images displayed on your TV


And of course, Avia still allows you to: Share your photos, videos and music on these devices: Chromecast / Roku / Apple TV / WebOS TV's / Xbox One / Google TV / PC / Mac


Play and manage media stored on your Android device, in the cloud or from these devices: Facebook / Google+ Photos (Picasa) / Network Attached Storage (NAS) / Windows Media Player (WMP) / XBMC / Serviio / Plex / Subsonic / PC / Mac / Other Android Devices


Finally, here are a few pieces of advice to get the most out of Avia:
• To cast to Roku devices, please install the Avia for Roku channel that will appear on your Roku screen.
• Make sure your Android device and device you want to cast to, e.g. Chromecast, are using the same Wi-Fi network.
• When using Avia to access media from other devices, they must have UPnP/DLNA serving enabled.
• When casting from Avia, files MUST be compatible with the receiving device. Many devices have fewer compatible codecs than a home computer.
• Please review your media formats with the specifications of your devices before attempting to cast. (Example: Chromecast is not compatible with .AVI files.) Please see the video conversion guide at http://aviatheapp.com/support.


If you have questions, comments or feedback, please check out our support page at http://aviatheapp.com/support/


If the Chromecast icon is still missing, troubleshoot suggestions are below :
• Reboot WiFi router (optional: change WiFi channel), reset factory settings on Chromecast, rename Chromecast and re-install Avia.

Wish I hadn't purchased this app. I used it to listen to audio books. Once I stop listening there is no way to save a bookmark and the app only stays open in the background for maybe 5-10mins then closes and I lose where I left off.. I mentioned this a 3 years ago in a review and no update has been made. I'm done with it.

Love this app even more. App developer responded to me directly after I reached out with an issue and the issue was fixed. I'm sure they were already working on it when I contacted them but still, very fast update. I'm sure as a result of Android Nougat release, not a bug. Try this player , I know you will love it too!

UPDATE!!!! NOW ITS BEENS UPDATED IT WORKS AMAZINGLY ONCE AGAIN!!! QUITE FRANKLY THE BEST CASTING APP ON ANDROID. LETS ME SWITXH BETWEEN STREAMING AND STORAGE INSTANTLY WITHOUT CONSTANTLY RECONNECTING Been working well for a while. Now all of a sudden it crashes when I try to connect to my Chromecast.

Even paid for the "extra content" to be able to stream. As of right now that's another wasted $5 in the effort to try to play videos from my phone to my tv

Nice app for playing direct from a usb device but.... doe not do what it says. I purchased the plus version which Does Not connect to my TV nor any of my Apple TVs which they certainly brag about.

I started using this a little while ago after being disappointed with Localcast and I liked it better but unfortunately it just crashes now everytime I try and cast to my Chromecast. It does this on my tablet and phone so I know it's not my devices. Switched to Allcast since that actually works. Please fix this issue cos the app really has no purpose for me without the cast ability. EDIT: 7-20-17~ Okay everything seems to be working again with the recent update and I'm happy to be streaming from my devices again. Thank you Avia team.

So since I last used the app a lot of the Chromecast streaming issues have cleared up which is great. I now have new issue however, streaming 3D content via Avia using Chromecast for some reason puts the video into a small screen to the top of my tv screen with a bit of the 3D video cut off to the right of the screen. I've seen this before with non 3D content which has now stopped so was wondering if this could also be fixed.

What a con! £3.27 to connect to Chromecast and I can't even try it first to see if it'll stream my videos properly. What a rip off.

W70%
by W####:

I paid for the pro version. Doesn't play 99% of video files using chromecast. Paid for the full/pro version for the chromecast support which isn't working. Very bad app, don't pay for the full version, it will not work.

Awful rubbish app. It should not be on play store. Nothing is working simply nothing.I paid for this app and try to play different media files but player blinks and dissappear. Shame

Q70%
by Q####:

Frustrated that this app will not close and remains in my notification bar on Android 7 on a s8. When is this app going to support Chromecast audio?

Q70%
by Q####:

Do I really have to pay $4.99 just to see how it works. I press the cast button and I already have to pay?? I don't know what I would be paying for. We are in the era of the free trials.

WHY doesn't it show my Dropbox videos anymore? I am a paying client and use to use this app on my Roku device to watch movies that I downloaded onto my Dropbox account. I have over 100 movies on Dropbox. Now, when I log into Avia (I've already linked my Dropbox account to Avia) it shows or claims I have "no" videos showing in it. Showing up in DB! As I wrote, I have over 100 videos in my Dropbox account. What is going on? Do you no longer link up with Dropbox? Please help!

No better than the stock media player on my mobile. In order to connect to my Chromecast the app required money. No thanks

This app is amazing. It can play just about anything from just about anywhere. Ok so I think bubble upnp is better because it allows access to cloud storage like Google music etc
