[APP][2.3+] Castaway for Chromecast

awjones · Feb 22, 2014

Hi All,

Castaway is a Chromecast app that I have been working on for a while now.

Castaway offers the following:

- Cast Google+ photos and videos from your Android device to your Chomecast
- Cast local photos and videos from your Android device to your Chromecast.

Please give it a try and let me know what you think.

Thank you!

Is your phone on the same network as your Chromecast? Also, you may want to try to reboot your Chromecast. I had to do that a few times during development in order to see my Chromecasts.

That worked. Thank you. Had to restart my device and my whole network, but it found it.

Uhm, DLNA works for me... also Samsung link and Miracast Airshare or MS WHDMI do a fine job as well. I just don't justify a buying a Chromecast for my tablet or phone. Though I am sure your app does a fine job for phones and tablets that are too old to have such things built in.

Look, not everyone has or wants a new Samsung device. And if you don't even have a Chromecast and have no interest in getting one (I don't have one yet simply because they're not sold in Canada) then what are you even doing here? The developer obviously worked hard on this, just leave them alone and let them do their thing, whether you appreciate it or not.

At the developer: any plans on adding in music streaming in the future? Or does Google look down upon that? I know you're going to be busy adding in sorting and filenames for now. The fact that your app exists at all is pretty amazing, but streaming music would be a Godsend.

Yep - I plan on adding another tab for music. Right now I'm just trying to let the dust settle a bit and fix any bugs that are reported. I am also researching the ability to cast photos from your G+ account.

How does this compare to Allcast? And thanks to the dev for the effort!

Cast Google+ photos / videos

FYI - I just updated Castaway to v1.4... This version will allow you to send Google+ photos and videos to your Chromecast.

Please let me know what you think or if you run into any issues.

Thanks!

Awesome app man! been waiting for this. I tried the free version and wanted the ability to rotate videos, since all videos that i recorded in portrait mode were being played in landscape on the tv. i thought buying the full version would give me this option, but it didn't work. So i refunded.... bring the rotate video feature and I will purchase!
