Hey
When I "cast" Plex from my phone or tablet the sound is rubbish. Almost like back in the day when you watched a video on the internet.
But watching Plex via my set top box is fine. Any solutions?

Without some Media Info and info about your setup it will be difficult to answer...
One reason could even be as simple as a dirty connection between the CCast and the HDMI input...
But more likely is that you are streaming in some form of Multichannel that your TV doesn't support or is set incorrectly to deal with it.
CCast should take into account what your TV will accept for audio but on some older TVs this may not work properly.
It could also be the way it is transcoding in Plex for CCast that is the difference because your set top box may not require transcoding.
So many things it could be that it is impossible to solve without a lot more information to draw from.
It's been fine recent weeks. Up until a few days ago. My set top box accesses the same media PC with no issues.

media Box working is like saying I have a problem with my Gas Car but my Diesel Truck works fine...
Two different devices that can be sent media in VERY different ways!
Is it the same Movie that worked weeks ago that doesn't work now?

It's driving me nuts. The only thing that stops the the Nexus 7 being nothing more than a toy or glorified ebook for me is the fact I cannot find any form of big screen streaming for it. My 2 year old phone has MHL abilities which is okay but someone must know if there are any plans for the Nexus 7? It seems to be ridiculous to have such a powerful device and not be able to use it on a bigger screen.
I've searched back 10 pages on this subject and found nothing so welcome any fresh perspectives on it.

+1 to BubbleUPnP...
Though screen mirroring is not possible in BubbleUPnP, you can throw any media from it to your TV or other
DLNA enabled devices...
Luckily, my TV has WiFi dongle and Wi-Fi direct feature...
so, once my device is connected to the TV via WiFi-direct, launch BubbleUPnP and select the TV as renderer, I can
throw any media to the TV...
I'm also hoping and wishing for the screen mirroring...
Hi I will look at BubbleUPnP, I've been using Skifta for the time being which does DNLA quite well.
I use my PS3 as a receiver but it doesn't support many file formats.
It's a real shame the Nexus doesn't at least support MHL.

Ive noticed that in chrome I can open MP4 videos and play them. Then cast that tab and it works fairly well. But I cant get it to work with any other extensions. WMVs will play but when I cast it doesnt show up on my tv.
Are there any web based media players that we can just cast the tab?
Im a little disappointed with this device it could been so much more
*edit* Apparently you can cast the plex web app.
Yeah if you were looking to stream local content you purchased the wrong device.

It really is worth the time to set up Plex and use it to cast from your Chrome browser tab. I set it up 2 weeks ago and my wife and kids love it. It breathes new life into your TV and movie collection. I use a wifi mouse on my phone to control it.
Also with Plex I can watch ALL of my movies at work, streaming them from my house to my phone and tablet. It really is handy, and makes the wait on chromecast bearable.
Edit: it has played every video format so far...

I guess I should also mention that Plex needs to be installed on a computer and the Chrome tab you are casting needs to be on that computer or another one you are signed into with your Plex info. It was a fairly painless setup.

Local streaming is my #1 by far. Essentially cutting my need to run a HDMI to laptop is the main reason I bought it lol.
As simple as 24p output from netflix, 60hz is terrible! Or am i missing something when 60hz is only I get...?

As the Chromecast picks up the URL of e.g. YouTube or Netflix and takes over the stream, it is unlikely to be able to stream audio to your phone at the same time.

Here is a list of Apps that are already working on CCast support
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromecast
As for what I would like to see....
1 - I would like to see the XBMC remote programs allow you to cast to Chromecast as a Target. But I think they would have to add transcoding to XBMC to do it well....
2 - Would like to see a good SCREEN CAST app which I think may in the end not require an APP because it will be native to Android.
3 - The Ability to leverage HDMI-CEC capabilities of Chromecast in an App to enable CCast to act as a Remote Control via IP. (But better would be an IR blaster port in the next generation CCast so those without HDMI-CEC setups can use it as well)
4 - Screen Mirroring support for PC outside of Chrome (Not really an App as much as a program for PC)
Twitch, undoubtedly my app I'd use the most.

aVia streams from Dropbox!
I doubt that Dropbox would add casting to it's own app.
Whats funny is I looked at the DIAL homesite and saw the Bittorrent and uTorrent name registered in their database...So soon your Bittorrent client like Azureus or uTorrent may get the capability to stream to CCast.
Check out who has registered names and prefixes for DIAL support.

twitch
lovefilm
blinkbox
BBC iPlayer and LoveFilm.
Although I understand they're both UK and the ChromeCast isn't out in the UK yet...so probably not going to be soon.
I do wonder how many Chromecasts are "live" in the UK though!

Good news for you...BBC has already registered the iPlayer with the DIAL Registry.
TBS has a bunch of names reserved as well one of which seems to be for NBA!
Would love to see VUDU, Amazon as well.
Lets hope google will read this forum.. /)

Would love to see a support for MX Player.

With Avia, every app that uses external player and supported file format automatically gets Chromecast support. Even BubbleUPNP can play through it. I am not even sure if I really need anything else.

Great Article! As great as the Chromecast is....It is the DIAL protocol itself that is what makes the device exciting and the Potential to change the way we do TV in the future.
Just imagine TVs with Two Way DIAL support...Whats on the TV can be sent to a second screen...
Or content from any device that supports DIAL can be sent to any TV.
No worrying about the Manufacturer keeping their smart Apps up to date anymore.
I'm a little lost here can you use chromecast to stream videos using the stock video app that comes with the note 3??

Stock video app - only if you have a rooted Chromecast and use the specific version of AllCast (see FAQ).
Otherwise you can use Avia (paid option) or RealPlayer Cloud.
Ohh OK Kool thank you very much

Chances are your chromecast got updated when you first plugged it in and the root won't work now.

I've also been a VERY proud owner of a Galaxy Note 3 since around early to mid-October when it was first released. All Chromecast-enabled apps have worked just fine on my phone **SO FAR**. As far as I can remember, I've never had a single issue casting from my Note 3, even with the "working" version of Koushik's AllCast/AirCast app. Everything has been just fine and problem-free thus far!!(As far as I know....*[1.]My fingers have remained crossed since I bought this phone back in October. ...&... [2.]This wooden desk has had a small knuckle-sized hole 'knocked' straight through it!!* LOL). But yea, as far as the "stock" Samsung Video app goes, as long as your Chromecast has been rooted and you've installed the correct, "working" version of Koushik Dutta's AllCast/AirCast app onto your phone, you *should* be able to just open up the Video app, locate your video that you're wanting to cast(Google's Chromecast PREFERS for "casted" videos to have the .mp4 file extension and also to have been encoded using the H264 video codec and the AAC audio codec.), and finallllllly, locate and press the "Share to AllCast" button up at the top of the app(If you don't happen to see the "Share to AllCast" icon up at the top of the Videos app, you just MAY have to click on the little 2 or 3 pronged "Share to..." button up at the top of the app instead and just scroll down the list that pops up to locate the AllCast app.). Assuming that your Chromecast has already been properly rooted and the correct version of "AllCast" has been installed, your video(Also assuming that the video has been properly encoded in the H264/AAC codecs.) *SHOULLLDDD* start playing on your tv screen in all its beauty (...with an echo ringing throughout your house/apartment/trailer/cardboard box(I'm TOTALLY J/K about this one!!) coming from your Chromecast sounding eerily like Tarzan in the jungle!! Lol!!).
