Cast button for Google Music from web browser

Anyway to cast directly to chromecast through a cast button simliar to youtube.com and google music on your phone/tablet? I can cast the entire screen,but was hoping for a native cast button..

I really hope Google adds this functionality to the Google Music web app at some point.

I'm confused, you're talking about the Google Play Music app with subscription service right? Because it has cast ability built-in if you have the latest version on mobile devices.

He's referring to being on a personal computer on a web browser. Far as I know there isn't a native cast button

Ahh thanks for the clarification, now that I read it slowly I see and agree. Wish there was a way to cast from a desktop like how the mobile app does, having a white control bar is not very good for tv's without a screensaver option.

This would be in a specially important update for Canadians as we can't even subscribe to Google Music

Anyone have the Play Music app force close upon trying to cast?
I wish there was browser support because this issue is annoying me...

I did have this issue. I needed to unplug my chromecast to get it to work, then it went fine.

I do hope Google adds that capability. I use Google music through the web quite a bit at home.

Soon?
When this loading the google music website icon appears but when finishes loading disappears ... it will be implemented soon?

This would be a good addition but just using the Chromecast Extension works perfectly fine. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-cast/boadgeojelhgndaghljhdicfkmllpafd

That's now possible !

Chromecast and video files?

I was going to buy this when it first came out but the reviews showed that for local video files, movies that I happened to have on my desktop would result in lag and chopiness framer ate. I was wondering if this is still the situation?

AFAIK, yes. At least in my own experiences.

So if I don't use YouTube or Netflix should I skip out on the chrome cast?

Absolutely! You're better off spending a few dollars more and grabbing an Android TV stick, or splurging on another set top box like Roku/Plex, or WDTV Live box.

Local file streaming work around and questions?

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.

Im hoping.. my popcorn hour died..

i jut use handbrake and make a mp4 version of all my files

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...

anyway u can pm me as well with instructions?

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.

Any app that can cast rtsp stream?

Anybody know if there is an app out there that can cast rtsp video streams? Can't find anything out there. Just want to be able to cast my IP cameras.

Real player used to support RTSP (probably still does) but that doesn't mean it will support Casting to a CCast.

I saw that tiny cam pro has chromecast support, but I can't get my cameras to pull up on the app so I am not waisting my money on the pro version. I just tested on the lite free version.

Seems everyone is charging for the CCast support these days! LOL
Yeah I would be sure it will work before you buy and if it can't do it in the app itself no way it will work with CCast.

possible to cast any app?

The app developer needs to build in Chromecast support. So it would be up to Showbox to add it.

Hi
You can cast the screen of you device, so everything you see on your smartphone will be on the TV too.

Check out the app Allcast in the playstore. After you download it you can use it to playback content from Showbox by casting to your Chromecast. In Showbox hit the hamburger icon next to video playback quality and select Other playback...
Here's the link from Showbox that goes into more detail:
