FAQ
Q: Why does the video buffer / pause / stop?
A: Streaming video between 2 devices is probably the most intensive thing your wireless network will do.
Make sure both devices have a strong wifi connection.
Q: Does this app just open a web browser?
A: No, this app converts the video into a format that the ChromeCast can play and serves it from a built in web server. It then opens Google Chrome at a special web app and streams the video. Behind its minimal interface a lot of powerful things are happening, so keep the app open when your playing files!
Latest reviews of StreamCast for ChromeCast app for iPhone and iPad
Incredible ! Crash all the time. Came on ! Fix it !
interface is incomplete, the welcome movie does not even work, I bought the pro version and uploaded the movie I wanted. Then it says: plesse choose another codec other than Dolby due to licensing reasons. Come on! most mkv come with ac3. Amateur programmer.
Not functionning, never open any video
Purchased it but never really worked. Just gets you to go to their website which links to external content. Not sure this is a good idea, anyways it never worked for me.
Nice idea with the wi-fi server mode to upload files, but the navigation is unclear on how to go from server mode to browsing files. Plus, yeah, the crashing on playing its own welcome video issue isnt helping much either.
