Give me a site you want me to try. I went to twit.tv and played a video. I have also dragged and droopped video files and mp3s into the browser tab and they play. It wasnt smooth but the youtube app was smooth. It warned me my local network was probably causing issues
Can you explain this to me? I just tried with an AVI but not sure how to do it, it played in VLC instead.
If I understand correctly, the Chromecast CANNOT be used to output ANY content from the PC to the TV. Like if I wanted to use my TV as a PC monitor, I CANNOT do it with a Chromecast. If this is true, can someone please tell me why? I cannot understand why the Chromecast cannot be used as a computer monitor when it is possible to output movies....
Not sure, I have all my stuff going into my tv hdmi then audio going out of my tv via optical to my rec
Does it work through an AVR ?
Does it support 5.1 audio?
You're only going to get stereo sound this way. TVs optical out or ARC only transmit 5.1 sound from the built in apps in the TV . Sound from the TVs HDMI inputs will be sent to the receiver in stereo only.
Cool article for those who are interested in the device. Looks like MKV is supported currently.

I think they didn't think that the Chromecast would sell as it did.wow, shocked they ended the Netflix promo so quickly. I wonder what the rationale was...
I edited the person's name out for reasons. So tomorrow I'll be calling Netflix and Google and asking many questions regarding this. I will get my 3 months!02:34 AM(GMT) xxxx(CSA): Call them and complain up a storm.
Also, the CS rep I talked to said that if I can't get the 3 months from Netflix or Google, then he will credit me the $24 to my Amazon account.
