I had a similar issue with CenturyLink. If I used the DSL router's WiFi, my chromecast wouldn't be reliable. I tried everything. So I plugged in a separate WiFi router, disabled the DSL's WiFi and bam, everything has been glorious since.

Different market so the equipment could be different but I was able to get it to work with no trouble on Comcast routers in two cities.

Its not comcast. Its router settings.

I have been using my chromecast lately to play local mp4 files. All you do is drag drop them on chrome. Quite nifty.

Yeah, I'm still going to return it, but I'm going to strongly consider getting my own Modem/Router so I don't have the restrictions. Comcasts stuff is mostly garbage. Just got it at the time out of convenience.

Is there a decent free way to stream video files from your PC using a chromecast? I realize Plex launched something a few months ago but required a premium subscription so I didn't bother.

Dude.. open up a chrome tab. Drag drop the file you want to play onto the chrome tab.

Cast the tab.

Done.

Thanks. Would never have guessed it was that easy now and also had no idea you could drag drop media into chrome.

I did have a VPN but it was never connected, ever. I just deleted it but I don't think that would be the issue. Upnp is enabled. Already on a Wireless connection. meh

I've seen a lot of talk about Roku in here recently. I may be buying this for my dumb-TV since my chromecast is mostly so I can play HBOGo on my smart tv.

Hint: It is a Roku in stick format. $49.

If you're wanting a micro deal like that, maybe look into a Rasberry Pi running XBMC? You'll have access to a LOT more stuff.

I've looked in to it.

Apparently it's about a 1/2 step behind chromecast but plans to allow tablet/pad/phone/PC streaming within the year.

So far it appears to be the only device promising to stream wirelessly from a Mac to device other than appleTV while still having the full compliment of Roku channels...

I downloaded and installed allcast from the playstore. I was able to play video files from my phone and shoot them to the chromecast. Flawless.

This thing is most certainly worth buying now.

I get more out of my Roku, at least for now. I bought both and honestly, Chromecast does nothing more than if I hooked my laptop up to my television. Save the 35.00 until they get some serious programming on the device.
