The thread title is exactly what I want to know...is there some way to get byutv.org content streamed to my chromecast without having to do tab casting?
Whether I figure out a way to cast from my computer with a chrome add-on, or from the android app, I'd love to know how. Thanks!
Look of couple of threads down the forum to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2672797 (WebCast extension for Chrome). It works with BYUTV.org.

I tried that extension but the icon never appears for me to be able to use it. It works on other sites, but I can't get it to work on BYUTV.org. Any specific video you used it on that actually worked for you?
Writing to you on a tablet, I mention this as I tried last night but I guess it timed out and it never posted. It was way to lengthy to try again...but I've had some sleep and will copy before posting incase it happens again.
There is a way, but at best it is convoluted and very tech heavy. Honestly, you might be better off waiting to see of byutv starts to support Chromecast... I've seen many forums requesting that from them so it might be better to wait and see...but if you absolutely MUST have it..there's only one way I've been able to divine.
You'll need serviio and aVia. Serviio is a free - with option to pay for - dlna server. Everyone should know what aVia is by now. I can not say with 100% certainty, but I'd hazard a guess the video is rtmp which is why vGet doesn't recognize it.. if I'm right you'll need to install a rtmp sniffer..there's about a billion of them, most free, others not. If it's not rtmp then I can't figure why vGet doesn't see it...but you could use something like getflv or something more free...the whole purpose is to get the url the video is pulling from. Armed with that you can head over to serviio and add it to the online media tab.
Confused? Good, cause it gets worse. Chances are this video may not be compatible with Chromecast and if that's the case, you're going to need to get serviio to encode it on the fly...which is simple, however, serviio does not a profile built in for Chromecast. Do a Google search for Serviio Chromecast Profile AllCast, that will get you to the profile you'll need to add. With the profile, you're now going to need to get serviio to "see" the Chromecast. It doesn't do this by default as Chromecast it's not a dlna device. Instead, you'll need to assign a static ip address to something..say your computer. Let serviio cache that ip (it'll stay cached until you remove or upgrade serviio), then manually assign that ip address to your Chromecast. Once done, in the profiles page you need to change the profile of both your android device running aVia and the Chromecast to the AllCast profile I mentioned earlier.
It will work this way, android with tell serviio, via aVia, to play the online media. Serviio with download and encode the media so that's it's compatible with Chromecast, and then serviio with send the media to Chromecast which will then display it.
In this manner ANY online media is technically playable through Chromecast but...the set up and execution takes a flare of mad cap genius and elbow grease.
Not claiming that there might not be an easier way..God knows maybe bubble, playon, plex, etc might be able to do it in a simple straight forward manner.. just saying that this one will work....and not just for byutv, but for anything. Good luck! Personally, . I'd wait hahaha (edited to mention that it did happen)

I think the issue is that there is a commercial before the show. Would you mind clicking on the webcast icon and see if a full episode plays, or just a 30 second ad only? Thanks.

well, i guess my plan has failed unless someone has a different idea. so i was planning on casting to
multiple chromecasts from the same pc. i can't get this to work unfortunately. i was hoping to do this only for football so i could have different games on each tv and with a powerhouse pc i think it could handle it, but i don't get the option in tab casting. once you start casting you don't have the option to continue casting and start up on the other chromecast.
maybe i'm doing something wrong? anyone else have a solution?
i know that i could use another pc, tablet, etc but nothing is powerful enough aside from my pc to cast in 720p without stuttering.

Not really a solution, but an "HDMI Splitter" can help in your scenario. So, instead of buying multiple chromecasts, you could cast to single chromecast and then mirror the display on all TVs.

Edit: Seems like you want to watch different games. Above is not going to help you.

Ok. You basically need a work around so you can run multiple instances of chrome.
Try searching for virtual desktop software for your operating system.

Here is a workaround to stream from 2 or more browsers.
1) Create a chrome shortcut (other then your current).
2) Right click the shortcut and select Properties.
3) On the Shortcut tab, edit the target to look as follows:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --user-data-dir=D:\Chrome\ProfileName
The bold is what you will need to add, this will have this chrome shortcut use a new profile, so it will allow you to stream to a different chromecast.
My goal was to do this with NFL Sunday Ticket HOWEVER, you cannot log into the NFL Sunday Ticket from a different browser (it limits you to one login at a time...) so if you happen to be trying the same thing and find a workaround for that, I'd love to know.

Some of the links like help and such seem broken, but if you're rooted with Eureka-ROM or a developer, you can still use it.
@Kyonz just added Vbukit to the Team Eureka whitelist, so you don't need to visit the Vbukit website.
You need to install two apps to make this work:
Vbukit for Chromecast
Vbukit User
To operate it:
Run Vbukit for Chromecast
Dismiss the petition request
Select your Chromecast from the Cast icon in the upper right - this will bring up a QR code on your TV.
Run the Vbukit (User) app (tapping Send to TV in the Vbukit for Chromecast app will launch this)
Tap Send File
Select media type
Select media file(s) - make sure you tap the upper-right of the thumbnail to select/deselect it, otherwise it'll try to just open it normally
Tap Send
Scan the QR code on your TV
The selected media should appear on Chromecast.
Use the zoom control and forward/back to control what's displayed
I'm going to "sign" the petition to help the dev get a public release, because I can definitely see this being very useful for teachers and other people doing presentations like @Notrega from this thread.
One thing I can't figure out... I can't disconnect Vbukit for Chromecast from my Chromecast, so the barcode just sits there until I run another Chromecast app.
Ahh, I see Virtual Bucket sent me an email (it must send to the account from the Play Store download) with login info.
Very slick!

I've heard about this app before....it was a month or so ago..a few weeks before Google "opened the gates" for that last batch of apps(Vimeo, Plex, Avia, RealPlayer, Red Bull, etc..) to be able to "work" with the Chromecast. I've been kinda wondering what it was actually used for and now I finally see its use, and it seems like a pretty darn useful app that can handle all different kinds of media, including webpages from your phone/tablet(This is pretty dang cool feature if ya ask me!!). But my question for you is: What's the difference in those two apps("Vbukit for Chromecast" and "Vbukit User") AND do we HAVE to use BOTH apps in order to make use of all of VBU Kit's features ? Sorry if this is a silly question, but I just don't want to download two different things and sign up for this app without fully knowing what I'm gettin myself into, ya know?

A very valid question...
The Vbukit (Virtual Bucket) model consists of two endpoints. The Sender, where the media lives, and the Receiver, where the media is (dis)played.
Vbukit (User) is the Sender.
Vbukit for Chromecast is the Receiver. It's really just a "launcher" for the Vbukit receiver on Chromecast, since Chromecast has no interface.
There are also Vbukit for Google TV & Tablets, as well as other platforms.
You can also read more about Vbukit on its site.
Interestingly enough, you could technically get this to work on a non rooted chromecast if you intercepted an http address and forced the chromecast to navigate to the page.
Would there be any interest in an application that did this? like some sort of http man in the middle thing (not sure how I could present it).
Just wondering if anyone would use it.

For same-type content, you can multi-select before you send so you don't have to keep re-scanning the code.
Essentially the code scan seems to be a "session" so whatever you send applies to that "session" - after that you need to reconnect.
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.
I have an android with Allcast, Vget, Plex, Avia..

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.

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.

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!

I'm just not getting how to use VGet with Chrome to cast an internet stream. Can someone explain it to me?
I have the VGet downloader extension and the VGet casting extension installed in Chrome on my PC.
I see a VGet icon on my toolbar.
If I start an internet video stream (like the **** Tracy example), I can can click on the VGet icon and it gives me the options to download or cast to Chromecast.
I click on Chromecast, and says it's searching for a DLNA renderer on my network (why does it need one?).
I have to turn on an Android based DLNA client like BubbleUpNP on my Android table, or it won't find anything and it won't proceed. My TV DLNA clients on Samsung or Roku aren't detected.
If I select my Android tablet as the DLNA renderer, I get a small VGet play window that looks like its trying to play something, but nothing happens. It never asks me anything about which Chromecast to use, and my Chromecast shows nothing. The BubbleUpNP client on the Android tablet shows a blank screen.
What's supposed to happen? I don't quite understand the relationship between VGet and the DLNA renderer and the Chromecast.
I'm using the vGet app for Android. On that, if you turn off desktop/Flash mode and turn on Chromecast, select an mp4, it'll cast. With desktop/Flash mode on, you get to choose - Stream (to your selected Android media player, MoboPlayer is good here), Download, or DLNA.
I didn't know that they made a desktop Chrome extension.
PS - when I said it works great - I'm using it with low quality videos that don't look worse via vGet/casting vs. any other methods I use to watch those, but it's very convenient so that's great for me.
VGet appears to work for the Webisodes Network website which is nice.
Would be even nicer if vGet had a functional back button in their internal browser. If I navigate into a site and then press the Android back button, it just bumps me out of the app.

Odd. Must be device or Android version dependent. I get the previous page.
The problem with the app that I noticed last night is that once my phone has gone to sleep, it sometimes forgets that it's casting and remote control is lost.
Are you seeing any of that?
PS - thanks for the tip on Webisodes.
Could be version dependent. This is a Nexus 7 2012 running 4.4. The bad back button may be a quirk of the new Chromium Web view.

Eyeonanime.com tried, tested, and verified to work.
Tried a few more experiments with the PC Chrome extension and with the Android app to answer my own questions about vGet since nobody else seems to have the answers.
As far as I can tell, the vGet extension for PC Chrome does not currently support the Chromecast, although it uses the Chromecast icon. When I click the cast icon and it prompts for a "DLNA renderer", it's looking for a playback client. But it doesn't detect the Chromecast as a valid client, nor does it detect my Roku (even if it's running the DLNA client), nor my Samsung Blu-Ray player (even if it's running the DLNA client). The only thing it detects is Android-based DLNA clients on the network, like BubbleUPnP on my tablet - and it can't cast successfully to that client either, although it tries.
I can get the Android vGet app to work and cast a stream like the **** Tracy video to the Chromecast, but it's really flaky. Most of the time I just get the cast icon in the middle of the screen on the Chromecast when vGet connects, and no stream starts. A few times I got sound but no video. It takes a couple of tries to get a proper video stream to start, and as soon as it does, vGet crashes Android immediately, causing a reboot - but the stream keeps playing on the Chromecast, so it's obviously receiving it directly. If I attempt to restart vGet after Android reboots, it just crashes and reboots Android again immediately as long as the Chromecast continues to play. Only after I turn off the Chromecast will vGet start again without crashing the Android tablet.
Too bad vGet on Android isn't more robust. I'd guess it cares about the version or something. I've used it quite a bit already without those issues. Hopefully they'll fix it.
Vget forma Android is great. But only with DLNA devices.

My mileage is the exact opposite.
On vGet Android, I uncheck desktop/Flash, select Cast, then tap the desired mp4 link and I'm in business.
My TV tends to suck at dealing with DLNA video.
On my TV, I'm stuck with this -
Compatible files: DLNA-supported file types and extensions are listed below.
Music – MP3 (.mp3)
Photos – JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg)
Video – MPEG1 (.mpg, .mpeg) MPEG2 (.mpg, .mpeg, .trp, .ts, .tp) DIVX (.mpg, .mpeg, .avi)
MPEG4 AVC (.mpg, .mpeg)

Between vGet, LocalCast, and RealPlayer Cloud, I'm pretty much done with DLNA.
It's fabulous when it works though, I agree.
And now it's US$5 for vGet.

If you update to 0.4.3 or newly install it, you get two weeks free, after that it's $5. I understand that one can earn more free time through a new referral plan.
0.4.2 was the last free version.

Hi all. LONG time browser. First time poster. Hope you guys can assist. Tried searching and found no results. Kinda surprised it hasn't been brought up before.
So here goes. Is it at all possible to bypass/skip the "cast to device" prompt on an Android device. As I only have one (1) Chromecast device it seems kinda redundant to select it every time I have something to cast. Granted certain apps like Plex, Youtube, Netflix have the option to connect from the get go and bypass the said prompt. I am hoping to achieve this function constantly. More specifically with Google Chrome on Android. As I stream a lot of anime, choosing my Chromecast after every episode seems redundant, especially when I only have one (1) Chromecast in the household.
Can anyone assist? Thanks, GIGA.

So here goes. Is it at all possible to bypass/skip the "cast to device" prompt on an Android device. As I only have one (1) Chromecast device it seems kinda redundant to select it every time I have something to cast. Granted certain apps like Plex, Youtube, Netflix have the option to connect from the get go and bypass the said prompt. I am hoping to achieve this function constantly. More specifically with Google Chrome on Android. As I stream a lot of anime, choosing my Chromecast after every episode seems redundant, especially when I only have one (1) Chromecast in the household.
Can anyone assist? Thanks, GIGA.

I know but it would still be a nice feature if at all possible. Btw I realized I can somewhat simulate the desired effect if I play another video while the current one is still casting (Chrome Android). In this way the connection doesn't break. But if the video stops or completes then I once again have to be prompted "cast to device" to watch another video. Is it possible for someone create an addon/extension/plugin for Chrome Android that adds the option to connect constantly like Netflix, Plex, Youtube etc?
