Hey Folks,
Would you help me building an up to date list of all the optimized apps for the Chromecast ?! The device is just a few days old so the list is still quite short but due to the huge success and possibilities of this tiny device, I believe the list of of compatible apps for it will grow exponentially in the short term.
For now we have:
YouTube (Video)
Announced: YES | Status: OK | Available: YES
Google Play Music (Music)
Announced: YES | Status: OK | Available: YES
Google Play Movies & TV (Video)
Announced: YES | Status: OK | Available: YES
Netflix (Video)

Phone to Chromecast (Video)

Dropbox to Chromecast (Video)

Let's keep it going and thanks in advance for your help, guys and gals!

Yes, you're right. A Pandora app with a native "cast" feature wasn't released yet.
Thanks for the heads up. List updated. :good:

Small question:
Can someone give me a list of apps/extensions that koush has made for the chrome cast?
My understanding is that he made a dropbox one, one for RSS feeds, the. one for local phone file gallery streaming. But then today's app sort of unifies it all?
Then there's the chrome extension which runs a mini web server which directly beams over many different video and audio files in full quality and speed.
Anything else?
Props to koush for all of his hard and continuing work, seriously amazing.

He asked for a list not if they are released.
The OP named all the apps. I don't believe Koush named any of them. His one video called it "MyCast" but then he got some douchebag lawyer threatening him on google+ so I think he changed it because his next video (CM integration) had the name "KoushCast". But CM said that will not be the name of it.
I'd like to start a thread for news/rumors of more officially supported services.
Not casting web-pages, or demo Apps/Hacks, but Official Apps from other services that support Chromecast.
Any hope?
well hulu and pandora is confirmed, but the main problem right now is the SDK isn't complete (they have a preview one out though).
Once the SDK is done we will start seeing a lot of content I bet.
I am looking forward to bitcasa support. That will be awesome.

I hope so - I think this is the first step of moving away from Broadcast TV for TV entertainment. This is the revolution that Apple had planned to do but didn't. When people do reviews of the Cast I think they miss the largest point. Controlling the content using an interface we all love (phone or tablet) is a giant step forward. Using the built in smart features of a TV or DVD to search for a YouTube video is a terrible experience. You need a link to find most things and those are shared in communication links in your phone.

Ya i thought that is what you were talking about, what else the chromecast will be able to do. Its confirmed it will be able to use hulu and pandora should be comming kinda soon. And HBO, Vimeo, Redbox Instant, Vevo (?), Devour (?), Blip (?) (maybe these are britsh or something, i've never heard of them), have all mentioned they are planning on it.
(where I got the information)

So ya in total we have
right now
youtube
netflix
google play music
google play video
soon
hulu
pandora
HBO go
announced support
Vimeo
Redbox Instant
Vevo
Devour
Blip
plus soon we get the official sdk and we will get 100s of apps I bet
Hulu said they were interested in adding it some day. I wouldn't be expecting it anytime soon. The only real partner besides Netflix announced at launch was Pandora. My guess is Pandora will release an update about the same time the final SDK is released. Google is probably working with Pandora as sort of a beta test of the SDK.

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.

aVia hopefully will replace both Fling and AllCast, and doesn't require root.
Looks like I know where some of my Google Play store credit is going!
Great stuff!!
My question is what are the implications for the rooted user on a custom ROM?

Now that's what I am talking about.
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.
Viki
Not sure why but all the new apps don't stream to my chromecast. Not even an icon to do it. HTC One. Not sure why,

In good news tho, once we release this new OTA we have been cooking up, there should be NO delay between when rooted users get google served applications.

Stock or rooted?
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.

Seen on the Playon.tv site, they will be adding Chromecast support "soon" as well. I've been a lifetime subscriber to playon and it's flippin sweet. Sorry to say but on my i7, 16GB monster of a pc plex still has trouble transcoding (audio/video sync) while playon has always been perfect.

Google asked them to pull the CCast support until the Google Services rollout has been completed.
I suspect the hold up on a second wave of CCast compatible Apps are related to that rollout being completed.
