QUOTE(jonwei @ Jul 25 2013, 11:14 AM) Can it stream whatever video I play on my iOS? Like watching tvb drama all can? The Google Cast API allows for many possibilities. I'm not surprised if developers manage to add the cast button to video players on Android. Devs are picking at the SDK at the moment. |

QUOTE(uzary @ Jul 25 2013, 04:45 PM) i still confused with this chromecast, does it work like the 'throw' function in sony product? 'throw' basically display whatever media we play on the tab or phone to the compatible tv. but i believe the tv need to have a wifi function. Think of the Chromecast as having a Youtube player for your TV. It pulls content from the cloud, as instructed by your smartphone/tablet. Nothing is loaded from your device. In short, no display mirroring, for now.ok for example, currently my lcd tv no wifi function, if i used this chromecast attached to my tv, will i able to do the throw function from my sony tablet? But since the device is open to development, and actually has it's own hotspot (as shown in initial setup), I'm not surprised if display mirroring becomes a feature in the future.

QUOTE(mtxx @ Jul 25 2013, 05:13 PM) never buy a product base on the 'potential' it has, or a promise for bug fix and update. I fully agree with you. It was never my intention to encourage getting the Chromecast for display mirroring. Though that thought is exciting, isn't it? invest in something that already proven to work.  i am wondering if it can stream google+, i have tons of photos that i wish to share on the big screen with my family.  |

Just received mine. Having problem connecting it to the router. I'm on Maxis Home Fibre, using the bundled Thomson TG784n router. Anyone can help? I have enabled UPnP and Multicast. Cannot find the setting for IGMP.
I dusted off the old streamyx router (with TM interface), and that one connects well. EDIT: Gave up. Used the streamyx router as a bridge, and set up from there. All done. Definitely an issue with the thomson router. This post has been edited by DJFoo000: Aug 20 2013, 05:24 PM |
