One thing that I like about casting is the youtube app that you can send videos from your phone/tablet, I use it some times with both my TVs and that's why I tried to make casting work (still last year when I built Lollipop for the Play), after seeking I found that starting with a Play Services update Google has limited the casting to their devices (it's something really simple, similar to what they give in their Nearby Connections API), before that you just had to sideload the cast apk, but now it performs a check on some keys and if are not good it doesn't start.

thank you for the kind words, btw I have included two keyboards in the build, the AOSP one (that I don't like on a tv box, I select it only because when you choose to hide the IME keyboard when an hw keyboard is plugged in it works and doesn't take any screen space) and the leanback from android tv one, you can select it from settings, if you use the dpad I'd use this second one, is much better imho.

For Netflix DD audio, the regular app has no support for it, moreover the Android TV one doesn't work with the way Amlogic has set-up their hd audio (that is provided as stagefright libs, while Netflix tries to play it at low level using AudioTrack, this should be the way that Nexus Player and Shield are using)
