[Q] How do I watch a Video on my Rooted Tab from Phone?

Hello, I'm not sure where I should post this, so forgive me if it's in the wrong area. If it is, can a moderator move it to the proper place please. Thanks!

Going forward to my question. I have an AT&T (SGH-I377) Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (un-rooted) running Kit-Kat 4.4.2.
I also have an AT&T (SGH-497) Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (Rooted with just SU no custom ROM), running Jelly Bean 4.1.2

I have DirecTV GenieGo on both devices. My Watch list plays perfectly fine on my Phone. Since my Tablet is Rooted, I can't play any videos because I'm Rooted. The show would load, start to buffer then crash. I have tried RootCloak and RootCloak Plus, none of which will allow me to watch my programs. I have posted in that section for help, but its a dead post (told by the OP of that post). All I want to do, is somehow, play my watch list on my Phone and mirror it on my tablet.

Is this at all possible? Would I need to get some sort of transfer cable?

I don't really have an answer for why root cloak isn't working, but if you're looking for suggestions for a cable.

Thanks for the reply!
I did find a modified apk. It loads when using root cloak. But when it starts buffering, it crashes. I've spoken to the IP and he did it was dead. So now in looking for another way around it. I can play a show on my phone, using the GenieGo app, but I can't share it or mirror my screen onto another device. I'm looking to see if there are other ways to do this I can connect the two devices by wifi, Bluetooth, but the problem is when I launch DirecTV genie go, it only plays on my phone, no option to share or send. If I have to do wired, then so be it..

Sucks the modified apk didn't work :/ I do hope you find a working solution, and I will keep an eye out to see if I find a solution as well. Good luck!
