This is so full of win it's not even funny.
Works great.
Tried and works great. Streams seem to be more stable than with both Avia or BubbleUPnP for some reason.
So, on which sites would this be useful? I tried it on amazon prime, it didn't work. I wanted to see if it would work on byutv.org, it didn't work. Any suggestions on where I might use this?

You can use it to watch clips on hulu.com (not plus) and if you like searching archives (I do, it's an acquired taste) there's a ton of stuff on the Internet Archive.

It's jumpy, it's cheesy but it's the original **** Tracy.
Some good and all but lost stuff in there.

I'm sure you'll run across things for your tastes at other sites if you're not interested in that sort of thing. There's a lot of gems squirreled away on the net.
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.

Since now.
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.
People responded with unhappiness in the Play Store comments, the dev replied -

We are truly sorry for those that cannot afford to spend a few bucks and have no Facebook or real live friends to refer. But basically it's simple: Developing and maintaining an App costs money. This money has to come from somewhere. For some very popular Apps, Ads may be able to pay it for you . They cannot for vGet - we tried that initially.

I got the price by asking in another thread.
It's not listed in the Play Store - it simply says that an in-app purchase is added.
Why doesn't Avia display my video add-ons? It showed it and then once I reinstalled XBMC it stopped.
I'm using a paid Avia and XBMC 12.3 Frodo installed on Win8. Not sure how to fix this issue...

Perhaps aVia made changes to support Gotham (XBMC 13) and they do Add On Display differently now?

I've installed Gotham version of XBMC and now Avia does see the add-ons but not all, why some are not displayed?
For example this one is not displayed: http://tvteka.com/support/forums/5/topics/57

Well thats using an external Zip Source (outside of Officially supported add ons) which may mean it doesn't automatically update and may not be fully compatible with Gotham yet. Or perhaps aVia only supports official add ons at the moment.
Does it work on XBMC proper?
Add ons for these 3rd party programs (XBMC and Plex) are difficult to support because there are so many chefs cooking that soup...
1 - You got the original content provider who can change the way they stream their content and break it...
2 - You got XBMC changing to a new re-designed framework that could break it
3 - Then you got aVia Devs who may get some of what XBMC does working but not all of it yet.
I would say if it ever worked in aVia it will again once the dev figures out the new way of doing things in XBMC or Gotham becomes a stable official release as opposed to the beta it is currently.
Using my device as an AP to connect my Chromecast has been semi-successful.
I'm able to use the "Cast screen" option and AVIA.
I'm aware there is limited support, but strangely the cast button was available immediately following the Chrome beta release that supported casting Youtube and HTML5 content, but recently the cast option has disappeared. It's available on another Android devices, but no longer available on my HTC One as an AP.
Does anybody have a working Chrome beta that is running a Access Point and able to cast HTML5 from their device?

Downgraded to 34 beta of Chrome and all is good!
I have been using a rooted Chromecast for more than a year. Recently however when I am unable to cast from either PC Chrome or Android phone. Team Eureka web panel indicates all ok and I can see my albums on TV when I switch to chromecast HDMI source. However, Cast app in Chrome cannot connect, unable to play youtube, HBOGo, etc. Any suggestions on how to resolve?

Try logging into your Chromecast via a web browser, then change the Team-Eureka Whitelist to the Google Whitelist.
This work for me.
Thanks that worked! Should I keep the Google whitelist going in future?
Netflix (installed from Google Play) works great. But the cast icon doesn't appear in the app, even though it does appear in the YouTube app, for example.
Is there any way to fix this?
Thank you.

I had this problem too. All other casting apps like bubbleupnp and showbox and youtube worked but not netflix. Tried everything to fix it but nothing would work. Now I'm on cm12.1 it works again! So
if you're running stock maybe try cm12.1?
Use the Chromecast app
I have the same issue. I have installed the Chromecast app to solve the problem. I just fire up Chromecast app and then connect to my Chromecast. Now I am connected to the Chromecast through the app and my TV is mirroring my tablet. Then I just fire up Netflix and I'm watching a movie..

That's... a solution, for sure. Not ideal, but it'll have to do. At least until I try CM (will do that soon). It has to be something on the Amazon ROM that tells the Netflix app that it's not Chromecast compatible.
If you've got root through installing a custom ROM, this should work, it worked for me:
