The RealPlayer Cloud app is US only and I was hoping to use it (as i live outside US). Does the local video casting work outside US? Please, anyone in US, can leech an APK and post here.

Try this: http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
You can get the app URL using Google search.
As a tip, you can create a US based google account and switch to same whenever you want to install US specific apps.

Could you tell me what orbit is? I live in Belgium. I could install the app but when creating an account it complains about my region

Sorry that should have read Orbot (my spell checker changed it). Its basically an app that allows you to connect to a proxy. In order to use it download it run it go into settings and change the last exit node and enter:
{us}
This tricks the real player install into thinking you're in the US and should allow you to get it working. But to be honest as soon as I discovered Avia I gave up on real player. Real player at the time was only allowing you to cast stuff for a limited period of time, not sure if this is still the case? Oh and I think Orbot is pretty useless unless your rooted.
Well I rooted. I like AVIA, but it does not show subtitles

Thanks man I was able to use it now. However it seems subtitles are not possible either :s.
Are you able to use a player with chromecast that plays local video's and is able to display subtitles?
As for plex. It can't use my device as a server I think... (so playing local files on my phone)

I suppose it is not as convenient, but you can always download the content from your pc to cast it directly from your phone with Plex. But it is a different solution, i have all of my content stored on my pc, so i use my phone only as a remote. Hope Avia adds the function to play subtitles.

Official Spotify app is now live on the android market, you need a premium account to use it, which seems pretty reasonable to me.

It's also live on the Apple App Store, so I guess a nod to Spotify for launching both at the same time.
Not worth the £10 a month yet, really buggy when changing screen orientation on the G1.

It now does both.
You can sync playlists from online and you can now add in all your local files to the desktop client as well. You can only sync these files over wifi (for obvious reasons) but it works rather well.

Still trying to figure out if I want one. I know its only $35, but I have drawers full of $35 gadgets rotting away. I already have an Apple TV and a Roku 3 and a WD Live and a HTPC. All of which do everything this does and more. The streaming from the phone or tablet thing is goofy....your content is not on your phone (unless you are a 14 year old or something), its on a server somewhere (either netflix's or Amazon's or your own). Add in the lack of Ethernet (wireless sucks for streaming HD content...you are always at the mercy of your neighbors) and I think its a $35 drawer-space-taker-upper.
Someday I will be in Best Buy or something and my retard gene will kick in and I will buy one, play with it for a week, then into the drawer it goes, lol.
too bad its out of stock :<

In this article: http://www.inquisitr.com/868923/chromecast-tv-35-google-dongle-is-cheap-but-how-well-does-it-work/ it says this:
Essentially the Chromecast TV dongle will offer users the ability to stream Internet video and content onto their television screen. Simply plug the dongle into the HDMI port of a TV then connect it to the WiFi network at home. You can then watch movies or listen to music stored on your smartphone, tablet or PC, and watch or listen to it on the big screen.

I picked one up at Best Buy yesterday and tried what you are asking. It will not work that way. You can setup and adhock network on your phone, connect the Chromecast and a 3rd device to stream to the Chromecast. I couldn't stream from the device providing the network.

So you could use a phone for the ad hoc network and connect a tablet and the chromecast and then stream from the tablet to the TV?

Exactly. I used my S4 to setup the network, connected chromecast and my wife's Note 2 and streamed to the chromecast via her Note 2.
I really haven't played with it too much; just watched a couple of youtube videos but that did work.
Joe T, can you play local content like
- local stored movies
- local stored musik
- local stored pictures?
Cloud stuff is quite good but not everything is synced with google at my side, just my music..

From what I gather... no unfortunately. Google Music should work, YouTube definitely works but those are the only two things I was able to stream.
I tried to stream a TV Portal (android app) show to it and there was no "Chromecast" option on mx player or my S4's stock player. I've only spent about an hour messing around with it though.
I actually looked into it this morning in hopes there was something I was missing, I wanted to stream my own content to it and came across this G+ post. It doesn't look like you can stream whatever you want to it.
Also, if you look on the chromecast developer site it states
"You may not publicly distribute or ship your Google Cast application without written permission from Google, per the terms of service described below."
and
"YOU MAY NOT PUBLICLY DISTRIBUTE CODE CONTAINING THIS SDK OR REFERENCING THESE APIs WITHOUT A WRITTEN AGREEMENT WITH GOOGLE ALLOWING YOU TO DO SO."
I hope google doesn't lock this down so only certain services can be used.
EDIT:
I was wrong. You can play local files through the Chrome Browser

Any idea if it has DLNA support?? Say to support something like Plex??
Just as the title says. I want to know if there is anyway to cast a PowerPoint or PDF directly from my Note 3. I know I can do it from my laptop via Google Drive but I want to be able to just need the Chromecast and my phone to run presentations for a classes.

Not at the moment as far as I know. Would be a piece of cake if we had Android screen mirroring, but we don't yet.
If you export the PPT or PDF as still images, you can cast those stills from Avia, though you should be mindful of scaling and aspect ratio.
Sounds like it'd be a good app idea though!

For some reason when you do a search for Chromecast in the Play Store it lists Quickoffice among the Apps.

LOL! Yeah, a number of false hits for Chromecast searches in Google Play right now... I'm hoping they enhance the on-device Chromecast category or apply some kind of filter qualification so it's easier to determine what third-party apps support Chromecast..

Hi,
I was wondering, since the olympic games in Sotsji 2014 is going to start tomorrow, is there a way to stream the games Live to Chromecast.

Anything based on YouTube would be out as live streams are not supported - unless someone's uploading delayed content in chunks.
Was thinking of a solution with a livestream on a website, I thought maybe it would work with vGet + Avia

It'll all depend on the stream format.
When using vGet, sometimes it's advantageous to use the mobile version of a website rather than the desktop version as mobile versions tend to use mobile-optimized MPEG-4 rather than Silverlight or other streaming technologies. Resolution may be reduced, however, so it really depends on the provider.
Popular sites often use m.whatever or mobile.whatever instead of www.whatever
Alternatively you can use a user agent switcher in your browser to send a mobile browser's user agent.
Do you not have OTA HD stations around where you live? I know its not as elegant as the Chromecast, but it should be available for free on your local NBC network.
Short of that, you will need to find a stream in the appropriate x264/AAC format..
YouTube is showing a live feed of the Olympic Games beginning at 12PM EST tomorrow.

Whatever it was which wasn't working when it was stated was removed by YouTube for violations.

Thats NBC main channel....which is not showing any live events, only tape-delayed highlights. And even then, many big events (like ice hockey) will not even be shown on there at all.
I would like to know if anyone found a solution yet.

Broadcasting live might be difficult because of the huge time zone difference. How many people are willing to watch a event after midnight?
Not a Chromecast solution, unfortunately, but the NBC Sports Live Extra app has quite a bit of live content. It'd be nice to find a way to cast it.
EDIT: you can cast some live content from your PC via nbcolympics.com, but you do need to have an account with a participating cable supplier.

At http://www.nbcolympics.com/olympics-live-extra-schedule witch is dated the 7th much is shown to replay because it takes place in the AM. Some are listed as live. I did select on one but didn't follow through with selected my provider, etc. Not sure it an event already completed.
EDIT
Found today's schedule and what's live or not, picked Luge, signed in to my U-Verse account and so far all I've seen is ads! I'm using IE but if happened to be using Chrome, you should be able to cast to the CC. After half dozen or so ads, I give up!

VPN to Europe
I've had good results using tunnelbear (or your preferred VPN) and viewing coverage from european sites, such as BBC Sport. Both live and on-demand videos available. Surf there in your browser, then cast the tab to chromecast. Not perfect, but no commercials and/or pink-eye distractions!
Is there any service that allows me to stream the World Cup matches directly on the Chromecast ?
Thanks!
if you live in the UK then you are lucky, open the BBC/ITv websites or apps (depending on the game i guess), start the FREE live stream and cast it away.
if you live in the US (and have iOS/android device) download the ESPN app and cast the games for FREE to your CC.
if you live anywhere else where you country has a good company that will be broadcasting the cup online, you can cast the tab and pray you get a good quality.
lastly if live anywhere else, unless you have a custom FW for your CC and a bit on the geeky/nerdy side, there is no way... (my case but without the Custom FW T__T)
hope that helps
And of course, VPNs should work right?
