anything that you can't cast from apps, you can use cast screen (mirror your phone). As long your phone is always on charging that's fine. I always download movie from my phone then cast it.
Even sometimes i play & cast movie from NAS drive through ES Explorer

I found that ES Explorer Cast plugin not so reliable for me. (tested on Nexus 5 & Xperia Z3 Compact)

i believe the chromecast apps itself can cast the screen. but it could be device dependent. i could not get that to work on my Note 2.
