Wow, those went fast. I wouldn't fret - I'm sure they will have stock soon, and they're saying to go ahead and order and they'll ship when available - in other words, first come first serve. I'd get in line for that free shipping if I didn't have mine ordered!

Still trying to figure out if I want one. I know its only $35, but I have drawers full of $35 gadgets rotting away. I already have an Apple TV and a Roku 3 and a WD Live and a HTPC. All of which do everything this does and more. The streaming from the phone or tablet thing is goofy....your content is not on your phone (unless you are a 14 year old or something), its on a server somewhere (either netflix's or Amazon's or your own). Add in the lack of Ethernet (wireless sucks for streaming HD content...you are always at the mercy of your neighbors) and I think its a $35 drawer-space-taker-upper.
Someday I will be in Best Buy or something and my retard gene will kick in and I will buy one, play with it for a week, then into the drawer it goes, lol.
too bad its out of stock :<
Before I order I want to know if you can use it to stream movies from your phone to the TV without WIFI IE ad hoc from the phone
can someone upload the apk? in the italian play store is not available

In this article: http://www.inquisitr.com/868923/chromecast-tv-35-google-dongle-is-cheap-but-how-well-does-it-work/ it says this:
Essentially the Chromecast TV dongle will offer users the ability to stream Internet video and content onto their television screen. Simply plug the dongle into the HDMI port of a TV then connect it to the WiFi network at home. You can then watch movies or listen to music stored on your smartphone, tablet or PC, and watch or listen to it on the big screen.

Sorry if it wasn't what you were looking for, but how did you expect it to connect without Wi-fi? The nice thing is that your phone is free to be used as normal while streaming.

I picked one up at Best Buy yesterday and tried what you are asking. It will not work that way. You can setup and adhock network on your phone, connect the Chromecast and a 3rd device to stream to the Chromecast. I couldn't stream from the device providing the network.

Exactly. I used my S4 to setup the network, connected chromecast and my wife's Note 2 and streamed to the chromecast via her Note 2.
I really haven't played with it too much; just watched a couple of youtube videos but that did work.
Joe T, can you play local content like
- local stored movies
- local stored musik
- local stored pictures?
Cloud stuff is quite good but not everything is synced with google at my side, just my music..

From what I gather... no unfortunately. Google Music should work, YouTube definitely works but those are the only two things I was able to stream.
I tried to stream a TV Portal (android app) show to it and there was no "Chromecast" option on mx player or my S4's stock player. I've only spent about an hour messing around with it though.
I actually looked into it this morning in hopes there was something I was missing, I wanted to stream my own content to it and came across this G+ post. It doesn't look like you can stream whatever you want to it.
Also, if you look on the chromecast developer site it states
"You may not publicly distribute or ship your Google Cast application without written permission from Google, per the terms of service described below."
and
"YOU MAY NOT PUBLICLY DISTRIBUTE CODE CONTAINING THIS SDK OR REFERENCING THESE APIs WITHOUT A WRITTEN AGREEMENT WITH GOOGLE ALLOWING YOU TO DO SO."
I hope google doesn't lock this down so only certain services can be used.
EDIT:
I was wrong. You can play local files through the Chrome Browser

Any idea if it has DLNA support?? Say to support something like Plex??
Direct streaming to Chromecast without using the tab mirror option
1) First find you favorite vimeo URL
for example: I choose this http://vimeo.com/69627704
2) Go to http://keepvid.com/ (This service and other like it can resolve URL from other video site too, not just vimeo)
3) paste in the vimeo address and hit download. You will be presented with 2 links obviously choose the 720p one if possible. Right click on it and copy url it should be something really long like this http://pdl.vimeocdn.com/18706/952/1...n=1375283992_18627ba2bd4d1204fdaacfc695607cc9
4) go to http://googlecast.github.io/cast-chrome/ (I take no credit for this site whomever did it was great)
5) Drop down activity type to HTML5 video play back and paste in the really long URL
6) Hit play (the video should play now, but ignore it and scroll down fast)
7) YOU have to scroll down fast to the bottom on the page and hit the name of your chromecast fast (then your TV will go black screen for a bit seems like a long time 5 secs, then it should play on your TV).
I believe this method work with other video service too as long as you can get their true URL, basically you just need an mp4 file or something URL
Vimeo is already working on an app. It appears that once the SDK goes out of preview there will be a whole glut of casting apps.
Just found the method to work with putlocker as well. When playing putlocker video, to the bottom right it allow you to "download" the video, I just right click and copy the link and past it directly to step 4 above. And it works
I combined http://googlecast.github.io/cast-chrome/ with an apache instance on my macbook air to natively stream an .mp4 to the chromecast, no transcoding or webrtc.

Yep there is a set of control at the bottom when you click on the chromecast to activate it. You can pause stop volume... I been having good luck with multiple video providers... Best of luck to all until we can get official support. The trick is all about the true url of the streaming video and the github website still wondering who made that site. I am trying to study the code, but I am not white listed so it is limited

sort of off topic question:
does it cast the highest resolution available when used natively? for example youtube, does it send 1080 when the video is available in 720 and 1080? i hope they would offer more bitrate/resolution settings in the future.

From what I see, as long as your source from Internet has 1080p then yeah. This is direct streaming, so it work like those YouTube 1080p video directly to Chromecast. However I think you would need pretty good Internet for that. I always have trouble with smooth 1080p streaming even on computer.

No, it doesn't work any more. Google disabled all of these unofficial casting apps by introducing a "whitelist" of allowed apps in their August firmware update. That's one of the reasons why we've dubbed it the Google CrippledCast in our house.

...and @Kyonz developed KyoCast to have a custom whitelist, and Team Eureka released Eureka-ROM which lets you use Google's whitelist, Team Eureka's whitelist (which allows things like AllCast, fling and a few other third-party apps), or a completely custom list of your own.
Of course all of that requires root, which isn't possible for newer Chromecasts...
you can use curl to play video directly on chromecast
If you have whitelisted device (via Kyocast/ EurekaROM) you can play supported video formats using curl directly to chromecast.
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://<your_chromecast_ipaddress>:8008/apps/Fling -X POST -d "<your_video_link>"
where <your_video_link> is the video link from internet.
<your_chromecast_ipaddress> is the ip address of your chromecast
Still no direct Chromecast support in the Vimeo player, but if you have Plex, the Vimeo channel in Plex works with the Chromecast.

Sorry that should have read Orbot (my spell checker changed it). Its basically an app that allows you to connect to a proxy. In order to use it download it run it go into settings and change the last exit node and enter:
{us}
This tricks the real player install into thinking you're in the US and should allow you to get it working. But to be honest as soon as I discovered Avia I gave up on real player. Real player at the time was only allowing you to cast stuff for a limited period of time, not sure if this is still the case? Oh and I think Orbot is pretty useless unless your rooted.

I suppose it is not as convenient, but you can always download the content from your pc to cast it directly from your phone with Plex. But it is a different solution, i have all of my content stored on my pc, so i use my phone only as a remote. Hope Avia adds the function to play subtitles.

Anything based on YouTube would be out as live streams are not supported - unless someone's uploading delayed content in chunks.
Was thinking of a solution with a livestream on a website, I thought maybe it would work with vGet + Avia

It'll all depend on the stream format.
When using vGet, sometimes it's advantageous to use the mobile version of a website rather than the desktop version as mobile versions tend to use mobile-optimized MPEG-4 rather than Silverlight or other streaming technologies. Resolution may be reduced, however, so it really depends on the provider.
Popular sites often use m.whatever or mobile.whatever instead of www.whatever
Alternatively you can use a user agent switcher in your browser to send a mobile browser's user agent.
Do you not have OTA HD stations around where you live? I know its not as elegant as the Chromecast, but it should be available for free on your local NBC network.
Short of that, you will need to find a stream in the appropriate x264/AAC format..
YouTube is showing a live feed of the Olympic Games beginning at 12PM EST tomorrow.

Thats NBC main channel....which is not showing any live events, only tape-delayed highlights. And even then, many big events (like ice hockey) will not even be shown on there at all.

Broadcasting live might be difficult because of the huge time zone difference. How many people are willing to watch a event after midnight?
Not a Chromecast solution, unfortunately, but the NBC Sports Live Extra app has quite a bit of live content. It'd be nice to find a way to cast it.
EDIT: you can cast some live content from your PC via nbcolympics.com, but you do need to have an account with a participating cable supplier.

VPN to Europe
I've had good results using tunnelbear (or your preferred VPN) and viewing coverage from european sites, such as BBC Sport. Both live and on-demand videos available. Surf there in your browser, then cast the tab to chromecast. Not perfect, but no commercials and/or pink-eye distractions!
Get it whilst its hot.

You can use it to watch clips on hulu.com (not plus) and if you like searching archives (I do, it's an acquired taste) there's a ton of stuff on the Internet Archive.

I'm just not getting how to use VGet with Chrome to cast an internet stream. Can someone explain it to me?
I have the VGet downloader extension and the VGet casting extension installed in Chrome on my PC.
I see a VGet icon on my toolbar.
If I start an internet video stream (like the **** Tracy example), I can can click on the VGet icon and it gives me the options to download or cast to Chromecast.
I click on Chromecast, and says it's searching for a DLNA renderer on my network (why does it need one?).
I have to turn on an Android based DLNA client like BubbleUpNP on my Android table, or it won't find anything and it won't proceed. My TV DLNA clients on Samsung or Roku aren't detected.
If I select my Android tablet as the DLNA renderer, I get a small VGet play window that looks like its trying to play something, but nothing happens. It never asks me anything about which Chromecast to use, and my Chromecast shows nothing. The BubbleUpNP client on the Android tablet shows a blank screen.
What's supposed to happen? I don't quite understand the relationship between VGet and the DLNA renderer and the Chromecast.
I'm using the vGet app for Android. On that, if you turn off desktop/Flash mode and turn on Chromecast, select an mp4, it'll cast. With desktop/Flash mode on, you get to choose - Stream (to your selected Android media player, MoboPlayer is good here), Download, or DLNA.
I didn't know that they made a desktop Chrome extension.
PS - when I said it works great - I'm using it with low quality videos that don't look worse via vGet/casting vs. any other methods I use to watch those, but it's very convenient so that's great for me.
VGet appears to work for the Webisodes Network website which is nice.
Would be even nicer if vGet had a functional back button in their internal browser. If I navigate into a site and then press the Android back button, it just bumps me out of the app.

Odd. Must be device or Android version dependent. I get the previous page.
The problem with the app that I noticed last night is that once my phone has gone to sleep, it sometimes forgets that it's casting and remote control is lost.
Are you seeing any of that?
PS - thanks for the tip on Webisodes.
Could be version dependent. This is a Nexus 7 2012 running 4.4. The bad back button may be a quirk of the new Chromium Web view.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Eyeonanime.com tried, tested, and verified to work.
Tried a few more experiments with the PC Chrome extension and with the Android app to answer my own questions about vGet since nobody else seems to have the answers.
As far as I can tell, the vGet extension for PC Chrome does not currently support the Chromecast, although it uses the Chromecast icon. When I click the cast icon and it prompts for a "DLNA renderer", it's looking for a playback client. But it doesn't detect the Chromecast as a valid client, nor does it detect my Roku (even if it's running the DLNA client), nor my Samsung Blu-Ray player (even if it's running the DLNA client). The only thing it detects is Android-based DLNA clients on the network, like BubbleUPnP on my tablet - and it can't cast successfully to that client either, although it tries.
I can get the Android vGet app to work and cast a stream like the **** Tracy video to the Chromecast, but it's really flaky. Most of the time I just get the cast icon in the middle of the screen on the Chromecast when vGet connects, and no stream starts. A few times I got sound but no video. It takes a couple of tries to get a proper video stream to start, and as soon as it does, vGet crashes Android immediately, causing a reboot - but the stream keeps playing on the Chromecast, so it's obviously receiving it directly. If I attempt to restart vGet after Android reboots, it just crashes and reboots Android again immediately as long as the Chromecast continues to play. Only after I turn off the Chromecast will vGet start again without crashing the Android tablet.
Too bad vGet on Android isn't more robust. I'd guess it cares about the version or something. I've used it quite a bit already without those issues. Hopefully they'll fix it.
Vget forma Android is great. But only with DLNA devices.

My mileage is the exact opposite.
On vGet Android, I uncheck desktop/Flash, select Cast, then tap the desired mp4 link and I'm in business.
My TV tends to suck at dealing with DLNA video.
On my TV, I'm stuck with this -
Compatible files: DLNA-supported file types and extensions are listed below.
Music – MP3 (.mp3)
Photos – JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg)
Video – MPEG1 (.mpg, .mpeg) MPEG2 (.mpg, .mpeg, .trp, .ts, .tp) DIVX (.mpg, .mpeg, .avi)
MPEG4 AVC (.mpg, .mpeg)

Between vGet, LocalCast, and RealPlayer Cloud, I'm pretty much done with DLNA.
It's fabulous when it works though, I agree.
And now it's US$5 for vGet.
