when is the chromecast app going to allow me to just select any video that i view on the internet and click the symbol to stream? I know their big worry is probably pirated movies, but that's not what i want. it's for porn.

If it had Amazon Prime, it would be a perfect match for me. Until then, Roku.

The &quot;New&quot; labels on <a href="http://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/devices/chromecast/apps.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;intl&#x2F;en&#x2F;chrome&#x2F;devices&#x2F;chromecast&#x2F;apps...</a> only have &quot;-webkit-transform: rotate(45deg);&quot; set, breaking the design on non-webkit browsers. :(

I just wish I could broadcast from VLC.

Deployed military (any nation) or other people with slow or no internet connection would really like to stream movies locally[1] to several screens. They probably bought the movies too. Sure, chromecast can do this via tab sharing, but an app would be nice. Why the obsession for streaming over the internet?<p>[1] <a href="http://www.theonion.com/articles/pentagon-loses-hard-drive-with-all-the-movies-on-i,6822/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theonion.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;pentagon-loses-hard-drive-w...</a>

Plex support! That&#x27;s huge.<p>Though, truth be told, my 3 year old Samsung SmartTV is how I&#x27;ve been streaming Plex already, so...

Oh cool, I never heard of Viki previously. I watch some Korean TV shows like Running Man, but was previously forced to stream the whole Chrome tab.

To use Plex, you need to have a plexpass subscription (I believe this subscription is not required to use Plex on Roku)

If only they&#x27;d make it a DLNA Digital Media Renderer. You&#x27;d then have many choices for playing local content, instead of just Plex.<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Living_Network_Alliance" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Digital_Living_Network_Alliance</a>

Any word on when it&#x27;ll be available outside the US? I thought at launch they said a few weeks... (or at least &#x27;soon&#x27;).

Nice.. having Plex on Chromecast almost makes my Roku 2 useless, almost because I subscribe to MIT&#x2F;PBS channels on Roku.

Chromecast is still not available outside of the US. Come on, why no love for friendly Canada? :)

Songza would be awesome, but it seems to not really actually work.

Hooray, BeyondPod support!
