Yeah but doesnt this version not allow the new movies to play? Like it gives the "video not available" message. For example, Fifty Shades of Grey.
I had version 3.81 3.83 3.85 but for some reason it was showing them all in my dropbox, I had to rar all 3 of those last versions, that worked with chromecast or to my Samsung TV
edit.. I did notice that on some "video not available" message, what I do then is download the video and watch it on usb stick on my Samsung tv....

Would love to see Chromecast ability come to MX Player. Was sad when it had it for a time and then it disappeared
In my knowledge, MX Player never had direct chromecast support. Seems that you are talking about inbuilt cast screen option.

Please add min formats support for Chromecast
Guys, isn't it time you had something for Chromecast? Even if it was just a few formats. I love the MX player, but I'm forced to use other players due to lack of chromecast support.

It says it does, but I have installed latest nightly and I do not see my Chromecast2 device in Local Network menu. I'm still forced to mirror my screen in order to watch movies from my phone on TV.

Actually it was about VLC 3.0 nightly that's for desktop.
For Android VLC 2.0 is in candidate stage. Don't confuse yourself.

I'm not confused. Info is misleading. First it talks about Chromecast support in 3.0 nightly, but does not specify which OS it is for. Latest nightly for Android is 2.1.0

Yes it is not clear from their statement.
Anyway, it's already landed on 3.0 nightly for win & they call it Renderer Output (under tools).
BTW, this is not the proper place to discuss about VLC. You may ask about the same is apps section instead of MX Player forum section.

If you've read any of this thread, you'll see that MX itself does not support Chromecast. Download the Chromecast app from the Play Store, and use that to send videos to the Chromecast.
In terms of if your device has sufficient capability to cast the video, you should ask in the Galaxy Nexus subforum.

Link to original thread: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/mx-videoplayer/Xgb6KKj95vg/discussion2Wow, thanks for the update! This is good news. In terms of performance, does video playback lag if you have screen cast enabled? Would you mind also trying how 10-bit playback performance works with screen casting running? I won't be home to try this for the next few days.

@CAL7 not to sound cynical, but my guess is that Google is playing favourites
I'll have some more time to play mess with the setup tonight I think. I haven't watched a full movie with it yet, but for what I tested it seemed fine through mxplayer- no lag for the short while I watched ( about 10 mins worth plus some shuttling forward and backward).
To be honest, all I think I know of 10bit is that it's a higher quality or uncompressed video..I can google it myself. Just a data point that you're asking a dumb monkey when it comes to that particular question...at least until I check the "internets"
but if it helps, the video I tested was encoded at 1920x 1080 4:2:0
As a side note - and not using mxplayer for this portion of a test but I've used it to mirror video playing from firefox (via a live stream) which played as it would normally just fine. I know that may not offer much in answering your question, but I mention because I was actually surprised that I had no "beta" issues that I had anticipated. And that was for the entire stream (not my reaction of surprise, but the lack of beta issues).
That said, I'm figuring I'll have the same success with a longer mxplayer test.
At any rate, I'll give a longer test tonight. I did just see there are some noted sample vids in one of the other mx threads for 10bit (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54146055&postcount=25) and I'll try one of those. I take it I need check the box for the h/w+ setting 10bit as well.
I'll give a heads up after.
