With the newly released ChromeCast allows you to hook their device up to any HDMI enabled TV and stream content from your Android phone.
Would it be possible in the future to add this as a sink?
The Android Plex app would have to stream it to the device.
I believe it takes URL strings, so potentially until then we can use Chrome and PlexWeb, but it would be awesome for native.
Second this! Get on it Plex devs.
Yes please!
do it! do it ! do it !!! :)
Oh yes, please make this happen.
OHH YAH! Plex pushing to chromecast from my andriod, ios and laptop would be AWESOME.. Especially to use the 'TV queue' option as well.. :D
This would be amazing!
Right from my plexpass plex app, I click the Chromecast button and away it goes!
Yes please! I am happy to donate a device (I was able to order one in the 1st batch) to further this effort.
Found a couple of other things. Looks like the device only supports MPEG-DASH and Microsoft SmoothStreaming for transcoding services. Plex uses HLS for transcoding so it looks like Plex Media Server would need to be able to support at least MPEG-DASH (which is a standard) or SmoothStreaming. Personally I'd prefer MPEG-DASH at least it is an international standard.
YES. PLEASE. Totally cool with hooking my Mac up to my tv every time I want to stream Plex media to a big screen (because Rasplex is ok if you have an ethernet connection but blargh no ethernet at my tv), but to have Plex and Netflix and YouTube in the same device built for the big screen would be FANTASTIC.
This would be great if I could sync video to my device like I do now for travel and then be able to play synced content from tablet direct to TV while offline. Our holiday home has no internet so rather than only watching on tablet I could stream to TV.
if this goes through. forget buying 100 dollar Roku. Only reason why i have rokus is for Plex. bring it ON! plex Devs. this is huge
