send photos to Chromecast using iOS devices

                     


Sending photos from your iOS device to your TV using Chromecast is now possible, thanks to this free app.

After Google opened up the Chromecast to all developers who were interested, it was only a matter of time until we started seeing apps hit Android and iOS markets alike.

One such app that's especially useful for iOS users, will send photos to a Chromecast. The app is called Photo Cast and is available for free.

After installing the app the only setup required is to grant the app permission to access your photos, and tapping on the Chromecast icon to select the device you'd like to send the photos to.

Then, any photos you select will show up on your TV automatically. You can even start playing a slideshow, with an adjustable timer for each slide.

Some downsides currently are the inability to send videos from your iDevice to Chromecast, and of course there's no way to continue a slideshow while the app runs in the background.

Xbox One :- energy-saving mode

The Xbox One's instant-on mode, whereas convenient, uses thirty times a lot of power than energy-saving mode.

Powering on the Xbox One by voice command could be a pretty cool feature, although you may feel a bit silly doing therefore initially. Responding to the "Xbox on" command is one in all the options of instant-on power mode. Instant-on power mode starts up the Xbox One in mere two seconds and conjointly lets automatic updates occur. For those that oftentimes play games, watch videos via Netflix and Amazon, or have live idiot box up, instant-on can in all probability be the well-liked power mode. For all others, the energy-saving mode could also be the higher selection.


The Xbox One's energy-saving mode requires you to press the Xbox button to power on the console and can take up to 45 seconds to start up. It also won't allow updates to download and install automatically. So why would you use energy-saving mode? It uses 30 times less energy than instant-on mode. Instant-on mode uses 15W of power, while energy-saving mode sips just 0.5W of power.


To enable energy-saving mode on your Xbox One, first press the Menu button on the controller.



Next, go to Settings, then Power & startup.



Under Power Options, highlight the Power mode, then press the "A" button on the controller to toggle between instant-on and energy-saving.





When you turn off the Xbox One in energy-saving mode, the LED on the power supply will glow orange, instead of white.

Netflix playing the next episode automatically . Stop it Now

                                 

In August 2012, Netflix proclaimed another characteristic called Post-Play. The thought behind the characteristic was to make it simpler for those of us who fling on an enduring stream of scenes from the same TV arrangement. 

With Post-Play, Netflix will immediately start playing the following scene, without obliging any collaboration from the client. Each two scenes you're asked to affirm in any case you're viewing and haven't nodded off to rest. 

Similarly as with any characteristic, Post-Play isn't for everybody; yet as of not long ago, it was empowered as a matter of course with no possibility to get to Netflix clients to turn it off on streaming-underpinned mechanisms. Techhive initially reported in October 2013 that the alternative to cripple Post-Play might be advancing, in the end. Quick send and now Netflix has at long last empowered the setting, again as initially reported by Techhive. 

To incapacitate Post-Play if you not appreciate having an interminable stream of inconsiderate substance tossed at you, you'll have to log into your record on Netflix.com

                               


Click on the Playback Settings link, found in the "Your Profile" category. Here you can edit the amount of data, or stream quality, Netflix will use with your account, as well as uncheck the box to disable Post-Play.

Utilize your cell phone to check your remote control electric cells



Most standard remote controls send signs to your home theater rigging utilizing a pillar of infrared light, which a sensor on your equipment gets. You can't see this bar, yet your cell phone's Polaroid can! Thus, if your remote isn't working right, you can utilize your telephone to check if your remote needs crisp electric cells. 

Wake your cell phone and pop open its Camera application. Next, switch to the front-confronting Polaroid, focus the remote at the Polaroid, and press any bind on the remote. 

In the event that the remote is working legitimately, you may as well see a glimmer of light hail from the IR blaster as saw through your telephone's screen that looks something that this: 

In the event that you don't see the flash from the IR blaster, or maybe only a quite, exceptionally lower glimmer, you most likely need to change the remote's electric storage devices. (Also if new electric cells don't help, you most likely need to reinstate your remote. Too bad.) 

Obviously, this trap isn't restricted to your cell phone's Polaroid; numerous computerized Polaroids can see infrared light, regardless of having channels to block it out. So if all you have available to you is your smart phone's inherent webcam, you may have all that you require.
