-> it's made up of the "Rays" of the Cast-Icon and the Browser-Icon (I think you're pointing to a sea on the globe ), both from Google's Material Icon Set. it's truly not the best, but I'm absolutely no graphics-designer, so this is as good as it getsThe app-icon is too much detailed up-right. I cant understand what it symbolize. :silly:
-> Not a self-explaining name, I know, but there are already "Web Video Cast" and similar named apps on the store, wanted to make a difference, as it works differentlyAlso. the app should be named web-built-in-videos-cast. or web-video-cast.
-> no, it's way easier in a nutshell, it get's the Video's URL from within the browser window and then tells Chromecast's/FireTV's built-in media player to play it. so you even could kill the app after starting the video and it would keep playing and it doesn't drain your battery more than necessary.One question, how does the inside app-architecture work? Does it download offline in cache and stream seconds later, or does the app (cast controller) redirect live to the device (chromeCast eg.)?
thanks for the feedback
Would it be possible to add support for other browsers,Thanks again.I purchased Pro and rated 5 starsUPDTAE: had to artifically remove Youtube support from App, as Google screwed me for this - so next Release won't bring YT to your TV anymore
However, Amazon don't care about that kind of stuff, so I implemented this ridicolous "barrier" only for the GooglePlay-Release - via Amazon Appstore it will continue supporting Youtube.
What do you mean exactly? I can't bring the Cast-Functionality to other browsers, as all the logic is wired within this app - I need it running to extract the video and send it to your device. But I can let it open URLs you "share" from other browsers/apps, if you like.Would it be possible to add support for other browsers,Thanks again.
On UC browser I am able to watch movies on this website called xmovies8.org but on browser in Cast Controller I can not.Thanks again.What do you mean exactly?

Thanks for your reply,I did have to try a couple of different browsers to be able to watch the movies on that site on my phone.I think its uses HTML5 player?Looking foward to future development.ok I see - got to look into this in more detail, will give feedback as soon as I can fix this
update: @CadTechBGMC xmovies8 is embedding the videos in iframes, it's likely I won't be able to fix that as iframes represent a sandbox-browser-widow which is not "accessible" the usual way still I'll try to find a way!!
yes it's a html5 player - pure standard and easily accessible normally. but it's loaded within an iframe's content, so the HTML structure looks likeThanks for your reply,I did have to try a couple of different browsers to be able to watch the movies on that site on my phone.I think its uses HTML5 player?Looking foward to future development.

Your right about the ads&co on that site,if it was not for Adguard on my PC and Minminguard on my phone I would not even use that site.Im not sure how UC browser is able to play the movies? Thanks againyes it's a html5 player - pure standard and easily accessible normally. but it's loaded within an iframe's content, so the HTML structure looks like
and the video is within embeddedpage.html, so it's "out of sight" for my script for now maybe I'll find a way around, don't want to open every iframe seperately on every single page loaded to check them for vids (more often, iframes contain only ads&co), that would slow down browsing massivelyCode:<body> ... <iframe src="embeddedpage.html"></iframe> ... </body>
oh ok you meant that one, that's rather simple too. the videos are encoded with some commercial codec (I think mp4), and if the Developers don't license it for good money, they can't use it. E.g. Firefox did not support many video formats & mp3 for a long time after HTML5 was introduced.Im not sure how UC browser is able to play the movies? Thanks again
I'm glad you like it, if you don't mind please copy/paste this to Google Play ReviewsSlick app, works perfectly with my Amazon Fire TV! I've been trying so hard to find a decent implementation for sending web videos to my Fire TV. I only have a Chromecast Audio device so it's been killing me when I would see the Cast to option on videos and could only Cast to my audio receiver.
