[Q] Allcast app issues on N6

[kkl0wn]

I have the Allcast premium app for streaming media to my Chromecast. Last night I tried to stream a video from my library and it would not stream for more than 5 - 10 seconds without buffering.

I tried the same file from my 2012 Nexus 7 and streamed flawlessly. Both are running lollipop. Not sure why my Nexus 6 had issues.

Anybody using this app and have similar issues?

It's the app not n6. The app usually can't play a majority of files, my work around was just casting my screen and using MX player.

I too have run across files that had trouble playing. But like I said above I played the same file with the same app from my Nexus 7 without issue.

My Nexus 7 is running lollipop too so its not the app or the OS. Comes down to the Nexus 6. This phone is brand new so I expect there will be a software fix soon.

In the meantime I'll try MX while casting the screen.

for chromecast you can just use the built in cast screen instead but I have also had some issues with allcast.
