My favorites are Web Video Caster for casting videos from websites (ie. couchtuner) and BubbleUPnP for everything else.
@Asphyx you seem to know quite abbit about chromecast. Can you point me in the direction of what is need to play local files from a code point of view? We were thinking of making a video player with cast support built in. From what we tried from viral (app in my sig), it plays online streams (non youtube) but doesnt show cast icon for local files.
Thanks
Probably not as I'm on a new job and slammed.
Regardless, drop me a PM, let me know where you are with the SDK and any other details since the conversation started and I'll be happy to chip in as time allows.
I used Avia as well. Not the best player, but best solution out there IMO. I'd love to run a Plex server, but don't really have a dedicated PC/server to do so with. Either way, the streaming apps play nice enough with Avia so that I can stream just about any movie/tv show that I can think of. Anyways, here's to hoping CC supports more formats in the future.
Share the page to either vGet or Web Video Caster, and cast from there.
It's one extra step - sharing the link - but it works great for supported video formats.
vGet has more options and is a paid app. Web Video Caster just casts and is free.
