VLC can stream to a Chromecast , but this feature is currently unstable and only available in experimental builds of VLC. Install it from the Chrome Web Store and launch it. Your Chromecast will stream the video from your computer without the graphical issues and stuttering that occur when using the tab-casting feature.
But Videostream actually supports practically any media file type. If necessary, Videostream will automatically transcode the file as it streams it to your Chromecast. The Plex Media Server has integrated Chromecast support.
After you do, you can access it from all your other devices. Plex has apps for a wide variety of devices, from mobile phones and video game consoles to the Apple TV and Roku. Your Chromecast will stream the media from your Plex media server. Check out our guide for more info on setting everything up if you need a step-by-step.
If you just want to watch a few videos now and then, Videostream does the same thing without any setup process. But, if you want to set up a full-blown home media server, Plex will work for you. In a pinch, you could do this with the features included with the Google Cast extension for Chrome.
Drag-and-drop a video file type Chrome supports — like an MP4 file — into the Chrome browser window and Chrome can play that video file back in a tab. Click the Google Cast extension icon, select your Chromecast, and you can Chromecast the current tab — and the video playing in it. You could also play the video in another application on your desktop, such as VLC or another media player.
Videostream and Plex take advantage of this, setting up one of your computers to function as a media server the Chromecast streams just the video file from. Image Credit: iannnnn on Flickr. Download BubbleUPnP.

This could cause due to lot of issues, you need to read this guide which covers some solutions for your problem. YouTube is free to download on both iOS and Android. Once upon a time, we might've recommended that you download Rdio as your go-to Chromecast music streaming app. Unfortunately, however, the music streaming gods saw fit to cast Rdio into the abyss and, for awhile, the world was audio-less.
But that was before we discovered Slacker Radio — the hip radio alternative that arguably does a better job finding music that you're going to like while sprinkling in little factoids about the songs and playlists you select.
Set your stream to Kbps in the settings, sit back, relax and enjoy your new favorite streaming app. Let there be sound. Google Play Music is the ultimate player for anyone heavily invested in the Mountain View company's audio store. Able to stream tunes from your library as well as from a massive catalog of on-demand music, Google one-ups the competition by adding Chromecast support to its iOS and Android Google Play Music apps.
We've sung Plex's praises before: the media center app takes TV shows and movies stored on your PC and streams them conveniently to your phone.
Plex's best trick, however, is that it can send this stream to your Chromecast, effectively giving you a set-top box with access to any movie or TV show you can possibly imagine. As well as its own Spotify Connect, the world's biggest streaming service also allows you to use Google's Chromecast to play music either through your stereo or TV.
If you opt for the latter then you'll see your currently playing track displayed on screen, but we imagine most people will opt to play Spotify through a Chromecast Audio to get their stereo streaming-connected. With an increasing number of streaming speakers on the market now supporting Spotify Connect you might not need to plug in a Chromecast, but this is a great option for anyone looking to upgrade an old stereo. Perhaps unsurprisingly, being so big and so bright the channel offers a free app that works with Chromecast.
On it you'll find new episodes of the Doctor and Looper, as well as need-to-know news stories. Of course if you don't have your handset handy you can always stream from your laptop or tablet to the big screen, too.
AllCast offers an all-in-one way to take movies, music and pictures from your small screen and shoot it to your dongle. The free version slots in a few annoying ads and limits video length to a few minutes, but for frugal streamers it's the easiest, most effective method to taking your content from your mobile device to the big screen.
AllCast is available on iOS and Android. Only the free version is available in the UK. At this point we've covered the best ways to share movies, music, TV shows and photos with Chromecast, but what if you want to show off some good ol' web pages? For that your best bet is Chrome. Like using a web browser on a desktop, the mobile versions of Google Chrome essentially mirror your screen, letting everyone around see what you're seeing on your phone.
Twitch is a gamer's paradise.
