Lame. This isn't needed to cast to a Chromecast. Anyone can use a tab to "cast my screen" and put in on the tv. Yeah, like that would be worth the watch. And this isn't an extension, it's an app. And It's just a link to their site. If you go to your google apps (chrome://apps/) you'll see it there and you can remove it from chrome.

Can't figure out how to load .srt file. It supposedly searches opensubtitles.org for the file and loads it automatically. I was able to find the file on opensubtitles.org and download it, but there appears to be no way to load it. Search feature in app fails despite file being hosted on site.

No different than casting a tab, wich causes lagging and poor streaming quality.

What a joke. Its just a tabbed video player. You cast it just like a webpage. UNwatchable garbage. What a scam

Nearly useless. Extremely limited file format support. I can only use mp4 and m4v with it. I have hundreds of avi and wmv files, but can't use them with this player. There is also a lot of lag when sending video to the chromecast.

How do you uninstall this. Not showing up in the extensions list.

Not a real chromecast app - just has you cast the whole tab so quality is terrible!

Doesn't play audio on my .mkv

★★☆☆☆2015-09-16

Plays and casts well with the exception of limited codecs so no audio on many current video files. One would expect a .mkv file to play with audio but it might not... Not interested in converting existing formats just to use this player. Expecting users to do so is weak. If this issue was fixed it'd be a 4 star rating at least. Instead I'm getting rid of it in favor of something else.
