Description

The easiest way to stream videos on your computer to your Google Chromecast! Play mp4 video files on Chromecast. Supports HD video, does not re-encode. It streams directly from the file on your computer. It can also play some MKV files, MOV, M4A, etc. As long as it's a supported Google Cast media type, it will play! It is very resource efficient, and only runs the app when you are on the website, or actively casting.

Downloaded app, clicked on app icon, was sent to mp4Cast, clicked on "Select File" button... and nothing happened! Repeat steps, same results. This is not the best way to watch movies on my hp chromebook!

what about subtitles?

My wife is not a native English speaker and we rely heavily on .srt files. Subtitle support would make this a 5-star app - the picture is silky smooth!
