Cast/Stream videos, music or pictures
FROM your phone or tablet, NAS (DLNA/UPnP or Samba), Google Drive, Google+, Dropbox or a webpage

a Chromecast, Nexus Player, Amazon Fire TV or Stick, AppleTV, Sony
Bravia, Samsung, LG, Panasonic and other SmartTVs, Sonos, Xbox 360, Xbox
One or other DLNA Devices.

– Subtitles: Opensubtitle.org integration subs from the same folder will be added automatically
Videos
Please
be aware that the Chromecast only supports a couple of formats. It can
read containers like mp4, mkv, 3gp and m4v, but all these containers can
use different codecs. If you can’t hear the audio of a video, then the
audio codec is not supported. If you can’t see the video but hear the
audio, then the video codec is not supported.
(I am looking into “on-the-fly” transcoding)
Music
If
you cast from your device or DLNA, the album cover will be displayed on
the TV. The queue and playlists work with all files, but were added to
easily set up music for your next party and don’t worry about it.
Pictures
On a Chromecast, Nexus Player or other Cast device:
You can rotate, zoom and pan pictures easily from the “Now playing” screen, just touch the button with the four arrows.
Subtitles
If you use a Chromecast, Nexus Player or other Cast device:
You can easily add subtitles. You can download them easily inside the
app from Opensubtitles.org. Subtitles in the same folder will be added
automatically. You can set a dedicated subtitle folder which will be
searched when you start a video. Subtitle timing, font, background and
color can be changed.
You can change the subtitle encoding in the settings, e.g. for arabic subtitles choose UTF-8
Internal subtitles which are inside the video container don’t work YET
Wireless headphones (beta)
Touch
“Route audio to phone” on the “Now playing” screen, to listen to what
you are watching on your phone. This feature is in beta: it might work
