Vudu Gets ChromeCast Support.. VERY Silently - Google Chromecast

Just in case you haven't seen, Chromecast now has Vudu support. I hear that Crackle also has it but the CC icon doesn't show on the app.

Just got the update today and looked at their play store site and noticed it. Cool. Haven't tried it out yet but look forward to some of my movies from them being able to be played now. I gave up purchasing movies from vudu and went more for Google play movies. Now I can start shopping between Google play and vudu to see who has the better prices again...
As far as Crackle I just opened the app and the cast button was there for me.
EDIT: Watching a movie on crackle right now. It was slow to load up, the video quality seems lacking and grainy, not the quality I get from Netflix, Google play movies, or my movies on my hard drive using A via to cast them from my phone. Maybe in time they will work out any bugs.

I think google has better prices but vudu had the best video and sound quality I've found anywhere with streaming.

On avs or the Google+ community, vudu hdx movies are going for $3-5 to buy.. Can't really beat that. That's a rental on Google movies

[Q] App recommendation Podcasts

Okay call me old fashioned but I really want a podcather for audio and some video podcasts that can be watched or listened to offline. I like to enter RSS feeds and have my catcher batch and then download episodes. I love gpodder, is there anything like it in android?
Features requested:
Update all feeds.
present new episodes for download from all podcasts.
batch download episodes and present them for playback offline.
Thanks for your help!
Mike
BeyondPod isn't too bad.
I use google listen works great for audio

I also use Listen, works great and keeps track of what you have listened to which in turn syncs to all of your other devices.
Thanks for the recommendations listen is great, and the price can't be beat

Listen is nice but I think Doggcatcher is the best catcher out there.

Still looking for one that will let you pause the stream, go do something such as run in to the grocery store then come back and resume. Every one I've tried, including dogg catcher, restarts the stream. Any suggestions?

Video playback with subsonic.

Subsonic streams audio and video, using ffmpeg to covert video to flv and audio to mp3.
With flash support released yesterday I've been using subsonic to play both SD and HD movies on my xoom. The HD quality is obviously not as good as converting the video and playing with the native app, but it's still pretty good. If you are lazy like me and don't want to convert, it's perfect.
Visit subsonic.org to download the software that runs on your PC (or if you have a readynas there is an addon!). The software is free, but you need to donate any amount for the video streaming. Then grab the free app on the market and you're set!
*yay*

Subsonic kicks ass. It's definitely worth the donation if you get it set up properly.
for music subsinic is awesome. But for video I hate not being able to fast forward easily. Only gripe but still a fantastiv app!
you can fast forward by selecting which minute to start playback at... not perfect but works very well
Any way to play a video in a player and not a browser?

SPB TV, Netflix, TV.com, Crackle are 4 I've tried. I love Netflix and the built in Google Play movie rental system the best though.

In2streams, in the market but it paid subscription, totally worth it Imo though

Share some good video apps

I thought would start this post since I didn't see one where people could some of there favorite video apps that don't come stock on the N7. Her is my list:
1. Netflix - pretty good app and greatest availability of streaming movies you will find from a monthly service.
2. Xfinity Player: Nice updates to the UI for 7 inch tablets and really good for catching up on old episodes of Spartacus.
3. Crunchyroll: The premiere app for watching animes that are subbed and best of all they have a free option that works over Wi-Fi. Doesn't work over Bluetooth tethering, but ICS built in Wi-Fi tethering is just fine if you don't mind the ads.
4. HomeDia: A nice free app that allows you to stream videos on your home network. I paired mine up with plex media server since you have to pay for tversity and it has worked well. If it doesn't play a video just use a third video player app like rockplayer.
5. Dailymotion: To be honest the only reason I use this app is to catch up with subbed anime episodes of OnePiece, outside of that nothing really else for me.
The good thing about these apps are they are free to download and numbers 1, 2, and 5 have apps for the Xbox 360. Well those are mine, so what are yours?

Crackle has some good free movies and tv shows. I also like to browse vimeo using the app, there are lots of cool videos on there.
If you like to watch current TV DROID TV Primetime actually works very well on the N7. There are quite a few free shows but for @$9 for three months you can get shows like Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Greys Anatomy, and dozens of others. I have used it for over a year on my DROID X and it sizes up really well to the 7inch for factor.

Are you doing this on a N7?
I had problems with it on my N7 in that I couldn't get it to lower/hide the info when the video was playing. Unless I am missing something .... On my phone it worked just fine.
UPDATE
Now if this isn't stupid on my part..... if you touch the video when it is playing, a icon shows on the bottom left to make it Full Screen... thought I had tried everything...

Thanks I didnt know that Crackle would work with the N7 unless I installed flash. So far it looks pretty good, I just dont like how the UI doesn't work that well in portrait mode. Hey that's what updates are for.

When I checked out veetle in the play store for some reason it said it was not compatible with the N7. Still looks pretty good though.

Chromecast and Moto x

This is some info I can't keep but sharing I came across a video about Chromecast work around. It was really lengthy and boring...but..here's what it was. Use the app avia (it's worth paying for) and the app show box. After installing link the avia to your Chromecast, then open up the show box app find a movie or show. Select what quality your Wi-Fi can handle. UN check the use internal player, click watch now and select avia. So far from what I can tell I could disconnect my Hulu, Netflix and probably my cable. Every series I watch was on there and every movie I've bought through vudu was there. Show box is not in the android app store but I found it on slideme's website. Another video app is tv portal
