In short
CloudCaster is a free Android casting app from Tacit Dynamics.
Highlights
Really helps with media presentations during church services
Been a great app to date
This is literally the best free casting app
Also love the ability to play off cloud drives
It works far better than the other apps I've tried
Keep up the good work guys
One of the best casting apps
But just a little thing
Thanks for getting it right
Only works on about half of things I try to use it on
It doesn't play ANY standard and popular video formats
I was met with frequent errors of not being able to load video
Poor ui on TV with file names displayed before each image
After logging in didn't see any of my Dropbox files
Why doesn't it support video formats we all have
Requiring a force close and restart to continue
Useless without ability to switch audio and subtitles in mkv files
Video from Google drive is way too choppy
Pretty bad performance when it was working
Description
CloudCaster enables you to cast supported media files directly from the cloud to your Chromecast. Perfect if you need to display pictures or play video/audio from the cloud in your living room. What CloudCaster can do CloudCaster can cast supported media directly to the Chromecast. For it to work, the media file and its codecs has to be supported by the Chromecast. See supported media here: https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/media If you experience black screen, screen tears or corrupted audio, your file is most likely not supported. CloudCaster can not transcode audio or video, since media is cast directly from the cloud provider to your Chromecast. Be sure your internet connection is of high quality to ensure audio and video files doesn't lag. When streaming directly from the cloud to the Chromecast, CloudCaster cannot influence the quality of service - it acts merely as a remote control. Quick guide To access accounts and favorites, use the right drawer menu (swipe in from the right). Direct streaming support Files on your device DLNA (Android 4.0 and up) Dropbox Google Drive OneDrive Bitcasa Box WebDAV * Streaming via device SMB/CIFS Copy.com SugarSync * Some WebDAV servers may not support direct streaming to the Chromecast. WebDAV servers with self-signed SSL certificates will definitely not work, because Chromecast does not allow the connection. However you can then stream via the Android device. Supported media See https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/media for a list of supported formats on the Chromecast. If your file is not compatible, you will need to convert it or use a transcoding DLNA server. Free version The free edition of CloudCaster contains ads and only allows you to add one cloud account. If you upgrade to the premium version via in-app purchase, ads will be removed, you can configure unlimited accounts and save favorites. Please restart app after buying premium version.
