Phil,

Is there a trick to getting the google chromecast with google tv to work
with the full frontend? When I attempt to install it the message I get is
something to the effect that it's not allowed.

Not sure if I'm using an appropriate build - I am trying to install a
frontend for v31. Not sure where to get pre-built android FEs, but I am
running leanfront successfully, so it's not an urgent problem.

I would like to run a full frontend on my nvidia shield, but I am not able
to get it to connect to the database. I still have some investigation to
do, but I have other (linux) remote frontends so its not just a networking
problem. Is there some trick to it?   Unable to connect via the full
frontend from any android client.

Thanks for any insight...

George
