Cool!

install it on your phone or tablet, then press the icon in the app
Install what? I have both the Pandora & Chromecast apps already installed on my phone. I have the cracked Pandora version tho, could this be why it doesn't cast??
Does it get updates from the Play Store? If not, you need to remove that cracked version and install the update.
The SDK might be getting opened up soon for homebrew apps...

only thing is, there seems to be an issue with Plex and Kit kat, it keeps force closing on my nexus devices. The devs are aware. But this is great news. I saw a bunch in best buy the other day, i bet they will start flying off the shelves now.
So happy I jumped on and bought one when they first came out. Oh wait....I bought TWO!!!
I need to cop a second one too!!!
If you know someone who works at Verizon, get them to order you one.
Went ahead and pulled the trigger on one, couldn't beat the price.
Can't wait until NFL mobile gets supported, I get that free every month already and it looks better on my phone than firstrows streams.

Also, for Plex, you do not have to buy the Plex Pass. You can if you want to use the feature right now. But, it will not be mandatory later on. Not sure when they plan to put it out for free, but the description in the Play Store says "Chromecast support (early access for Plex Pass members). Meaning, if you already have plex pass, you can use this feature, and if you don't, you just have to wait. Im sure they just wanted to make some extra money before they release it for free, which is understandable.
can we also get a mod to merge the three chromecast threads.

The all do. Just play the file in chrome and cast it. Chrome plays most video types.
If you feel that strongly about the device, create a thread for it...
Naw, I'd rather piggy back and troll in yours.

Gotta love BGOL...
At least you're keeping it real
Dude what video were you watching? Did you hear all the flaws he mentioned about that shitty gadget? Its lagging, It crashes, and it can have poor picture quality.. the dude in the video ACTUALLY SAID that the chromecast was the better choice for streaming.
Im not sure....this was something I came across looking up YT vids about Chromecast. Just figured it would be helpful. I haven't had the time to check it out yet
***Update*** Using the tutorial vid I posted... I got the movies to stream to the Chromecast. However, it only played the movies I had in my folder that were in mkv and mp4 formats.... not avi's. Elysium, The Wolverine, a Sommore standup joint, and a Booty talk flick that were in mp4 and mkv played. 12 Years a Slave and Blue Caprice that were in avi didn't play. I'll mess around with it soon but hey, if I have to scoop a avi-to-mp4 converter to get them to work.... so be it! Picture quality and sound was excellent BTW!!

Google opens Chromecast to all developers
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57617969-93/google-opens-chromecast-to-all-developers/
Google throws open the development doors to Chromecast so that app makers can get their apps on your TV.
A key part of Google's plans to build the future of its Chromecast dongle has slipped into place as the company unlocked its Chromecast software development kit on Monday morning.
The Google Cast Software Development Kit (SDK), available now, will allow app developers to give their users the option to stream their apps or Web sites to the Chromecast, which acts like a receiver that you plug into your TV's HDMI port. Web site compatibility only works in Google Chrome via extension, also available today.
The Cast SDK has been available previously only in restricted form, with Google working with well-known companies such as HBO, Pandora, and Netflix to prove the device's worth. Now that it's open to all, developers will be able to register devices and apps for testing and publishing. Once the Cast SDK has been integrated with an app, current users can get the updated app through their regular app marketplace.
Chromecast's future depends on developers making their apps compatible with the device.
"With the Chromecast, we're resetting consumer applications," said Rishi Chandra, Chromecast's director of product management. People, he said, "should expect their phones or tablet applications to just work on the television."
That's a major change for people on both the development and user ends of the app. If the Chromecast's upward trajectory continues, you can bet it will play a big role in Google's desire to get on all your screens.
Chromecast's limited development has thus far demonstrated only a small part of its potential, tapping into video, music, and local media applications like RealPlayer. Its future, said Chandra, depends on developers.
"Gaming is an exciting opportunity for what you can do with Chromecast," he said, as one example of an area where developers could spend more time. "It's exactly the right model. The fact that it works with your iOS phone and Android tablet and Windows laptop is true multiscreen. There's a lot of potential there," he said.
As simple as the Chromecast is, making sure that it was easy to develop for took some time. One thing Google learned, said Chandra, is that Chromecast developers are like Chromecast consumers: they want it to just work.
When it comes to the SDK, he said that "developers don't really need or want all the features. They want turnkey solutions."
When it comes to all things Chromecast, the geniuses at Google may have finally learned their lesson: keep it simple, stupid.
