Bare wit me I'm tired and going to bed in a few min. I started playing with chrome extensions and turns out Plex works pretty great.
Heres what you do in a nutshell. if you use plex already skip this.
1. download install plex media server and set it up using folders with your videos to add to the que.
2. the above might just work with Myplex.com but I have both. So get a my plex account and link your plex server/files to it.
3. install the plex chrome extension.
4. go to myplex account and your library. que up a video and start playing, cast it to chrome then hit full screen on the plex player. your audio and video will automatically size and cast to the tv. how awesome is that?

no it won't work over tablet as of now. really the op is only making people aware that it is possible to stream all your local content regardless of codec through the browser. then it's just casting that tab, it works alright but is nowhere near flawless and the limit is 720p.
i am really really hoping that it gets integrated to the app itself, but it doesn't seem to be a top priority for the devs. i do think they will get around to it eventually though.
I just read a report this morning that the Plex devs are optimistic that they're app will provide support soon.

I read the same thing and it appears they are only saying that due to a tweet from last week that they had ordered some. In the plex forums the only thing that a developer has said is that they won't start working on it until they have their devices. i do expect them to add the functionality, but i doubt it will be in the next few weeks. they generally aren't the quickest at adding new features.

Yeah, good to know. I'm still hoping that the developer of MX player decides to update the app. That would solve all local streaming issues. Just connect to LAN on ES File Explorer and then stream the video using MX Player.
I emailed the dev from mxplayer and they said a new app would need to be made. Apparently the app can't support both the chrome and android sdk. I'm not sure how accurate that is maybe they have to look into it a bit more. I think there is some confusion since the sdk for the chromecast is chrome sdk not android.

As was said, tablet apps are different, this is glorified mirroring. it's not perfect. it's more or less a proof of concept. I'm sure if you messed with buffer rate it would probably speed things up a lot. I was up all night and just kind of knocked off my seat when I saw audio reencode on the fly. What's kind of crazy is the plex plugin seems to figure out what you want and tries to do it for you. I don't see how the plugin is resizing when you hit full screen mode It's like it's interfacing with chromecast. Like for example if you try to play a avi by dragging it into chrome you get no audio but if you kick it into plex the audio gets turned off on the pc and put to the tv. I think plex guys should have this golden in a short time. as a fairly long time plex user. almost 2 years on roku. they rarely announce their Dev stuff they just one day release it.

You need to install plex server and after you add avi files to plex library you'll be able to play from chrome tab. You can cast the same tab as well.

Oh? Dang, must be doing something wrong because Plex asks me to send file to my Plex library. The only way is that personalized email link or dragging from a website with the Plex icon. I can't figure out how to drag a local avi from Explorer in WIN7.

Once server is installed you need to access its web interface for managing library. Do some search on their forums/documentation. You will get it.

the web interface has always been http://127.0.0.1:32400/web/index.html#!/dashboard pms(plex media server) should be running first
save this page as a bookmark in chrome does the same thing
just start casting then hit fullscreen video
when video is fullscreen alt+tab is handy to set tab focus to desktop if you want to continue using your PC for something else(windows key)
Thank you very much, fellahs. I finally figured it out, namely, I had installed the Flex Media Center instead of the Plex Media SERVER! :silly: It's all good now and all the .avi's I have play in Chrome. Thanks again, now awaiting my Chromecast but at least I'm all set-up!

Yes, only if your computer is running XBMC at the time and yo have UPNP sharing turned on.
However, you don't need the XBMC program on your tablet to stream music or videos from your XBMC library on your PC; You can use UPNPbubble from the Play store to access the shared library and MX Player (or any other player) to play them.
i have an iomega nas drive and its streams great from it to the nexus 7 ... the only thing with videos its still software decoding not gpu yet

Hopefully we get Teg3 support on XBMC when it hits beta. There is definitely not going to be Teg2 (h/w decode drivers) for XBMC Android, but theres a chance we could see Teg3 fully supported. :>
That is fantastic! Can't wait to try it.
They really need to work on a touch friendly skin for xbmc though, I can see him struggling to hit list items.
theres two skins cooked in to the (precompiled apk) download build, confluence and a touch friendly theme for smaller screens

Not true. I've been using a beta version I found somewhere around here, and it works exactly like XBMC on a PC. You can add sources from several kinds of network shares or local stuff on your device. I stream all my stuff from simple windows/smb shares, with no special sharing program running on the PC, and it works great.

yup, that is kind of the best bit of xbmc, means you can store your movies on a central server and access them on multiple devices throughout your house. Mind you the awesome plugins that stream from external sources is a very close second.

I use XBMC as my main media centre in my house, usually I use androids and iphones as the remote controls for my TV with XBMC running on it, this way is a bit around the wrong way but I can see it being awesome for things like the nexus Q and TV's with embedded android who can suddenly grow full featured media centres
Hi,
I guess many of you know Sopcast. The official app has never been published on Google play. But it's available for download on their website and it works like a charm:
http://forum.easetuner.com/download/
Would be possible to modify the apk in order to add Chromecast support? If someone is able to do it, then I won't hesitate to get my Chromecast
Thanks in advance

Sent from my GT-N5110 using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2
I guess that you mean that you can't find channels in English. The channels loaded by default might not be in English.
The nice thing of Sopcast is that every time there is an important sport event it's streamed via Sopcast, but the links to those events don't appear in the channel list but in some websites.
I will send you a link via PM because I guess I'm not allowed to post it here.

Is there an update on this? It would be great to have casting for sopcast, and I assume now that the SDK is out not too hard to implement.
However, right now Chromecast is mostly US and UK, so not sure if the developer is interested in going that route.
Let's submit a request to their website. The forum is down, but this might work http://sopcast.com/info/contact.html
I might be wrong but I think Sopcast is very unknown in US and not so popular in UK like in other European and Asian countries. So I wouldn't expect to have sopcast support for Chromecast anytime soon...
I tried to contact sopcast developers several times in regards to other issues related to their Android app and I never got a reply. I just know that sopcast developers are from China and it's not open source software.

I think Acestream is very similar to Sopcast and you can use the Chromecast with Bubbleupnp transcoding with Acestream. I have a video showing how to do it.

Most are using it to watch Sports that aren't broadcast locally.
The channels you find in the app itself are very limited, Most of the content available for this app is not listed there and found on the web which then launches the sopcast player to stream it.
chromecast doesn't support live streams format it need to be transcoded
even if you manage to cast chrome cast isn't able to play
the best way i found is this for acestrem which is something similar to sop cast

Has anyone else tried this method. I can play on the computer but no luck getting it to the chromecast like it claims can be done.

Yes, I was able to get Sopcast to play on the Chromecast using VLC Transcoding but after transcoding, unfortunately the picture goes from crystal clear on the computer to low quality on the Television. I'm not sure if there is a better Stream Output String than the one I'm using that would transcode a clearer picture. Bubbleupnp transcoding seems a bit better but it always gives me a cannot find Mime-Type error. This is the VLC Stream Output String I am using.

Plex is a great little app but this feature will be rolled out FIRST to premium subscibers.
RealPlayer cloud opens the door to streaming video from their online storage (2GB free - more than that = paid) and is limited to 15 minutes to discourage piracy.
aVia indexes photos on Picasa, Dropbox and Facebook, allowing users to show any of their photos on any of these services on their TV but alas you need to be a paid subscriber for this service also.
Now play podcasts via BeyondPod and enjoy the Washington Post’s PostTV, online music service Songza, RedbullTV, Revision3, VEVO and Viki on your little dongle of delight.

LOL aVia's site is getting bombarded. Their database can't keep up (search is giving me database connection error). That gives us a little bit of insight as to how many Chromecast users and followers there are out there!
This is pretty important.. Is there a possibility that someone can release an "emergency" pwncast to get these new streaming abilities? Or does it just have to do with the Whitelist?

Only the whitelist.
It's a good point to make that one of the downsides of using a custom ROM/firmware is that updates and such will encounter some delay. After all, people like the folks on Team Eureka are donating their own free time. It's not their job, nor do they work at/for Google (at least not as far as I know), so with the power of root comes a requirement of patience.

If you're rooted, you'll have to wait for the custom whitelist to get updated.
If you're stock, just make sure all your apps are up-to-date.
Chromecast support in Plex is currently limited to PlexPass members.
Chromecast support in aVia is part of the paid extras (at least that's what the article in the original post says, and from what I can tell so far - free has no Cast icon or option)
EDIT: Hmm... just bought aVia and still can't find the Cast option... might be because I don't have a Chromecast visible at the moment...
2 of the apps i installed had an update. vevo and the PostTv. I switched to another account on the play store and it showed up. So it appears the apps are being updated now.

Tried the app, couldn't cast anything (hoped for entire tab casting, later saw it should allow only casting various videos on various webpages).
Maybe it works and would appeal to some but it's not really intuitive..

Thank you. Tab casting is cool idea, but it will drain the phone battery just like screen mirroring (Miracast). Let's see if we can make that happen with Chromecast.

About a month initially with the Chromecast "preview" SDK and then a week to update it after the final SDK was released. It took longer because we didn't use the Cast SDK's companion library. We didn't like the default look and feel of Google's remote control buttons all squished up in one corner of the screen. Hope it helps.
...and with the latest update of vGet and its unusually high cost, this browser looks like a sweet deal. I might give it a better test this time around
Maybe this would be a good community to post a beta on for a version that supports 4.4

Dude, this needs a lot of work. It is pretty much unusable
