By that you mean its a smart Samsung TV. If so, ask yourself "how come this doesn't work natively?"

Chromecast in Canada on iPhone??

I bought a Chromecast and am planning to bring it back to Canada.
My question is...will the Youtube app and Netflix app work on my wife's iPhone with Chromecast?
ie: does it have the casting button on those apps, even though she has an iPhone and is in Canada (never connecting to US App Store for update)
Were you able to get your wife's iPhone casting successfully in Canada? And if you had to use any workarounds would you mind sharing them?

Yep! Casting button worked fine with YouTube and Netflix on a Canadian iPhone and iPad, both of which had never visited US app store.
yeah the apps are universal in that sense. The chromecast setup app for mobile devices is the only one that is restricted to the US
Thanks! I don't mind sideloading for my Android but I would like to avoid explaining workarounds to iPhone-using family members.

I have no issues on my linux laptop and the chrome plugin. (ElementaryOS x64). Have you tried uninstalling the plugin, and re-installing it?

Some kind of firewall issue?
Just to be certain, other devices can detect/use Chromecast on the same network?

Is your computer and your mobile devices on the same subnet? I know in my house all of my desktops/servers are on a different subnet, so the chromecast extension does not work on them.
Yes

Delay is normal especially if transcoding is going on.
As for the Fedora Linux, Try disabling Firewall and see if that works, If it does then you need to open up some ports for Multicast, UPnP and maybe a few others.

No Samsung Hub?

Am I missing something? I have some movies I got from there but how do I access them if there's no hub app?
Im wondering if its missing due to the google samsung agreement. Notice how htc is getting rid of their movie service app?

Well it did install, and I started downloading my content, and then it stopped with an error regarding license acquisition failure because the device did not register itself properly.

Same here
According to Samsung on Twitter, you can access your content through the Watch On app. But so far, i cant. i can do it on my Note 3, but not on the Tab Pro 12.2
So you're able to view and access TV shows and movies that you purchased through the Samsung Video app in WatchOn on your Note 3? I have a Note 3 as well but I don't see that option.

Streaming using Chromecast

Hi,
I have a chromecast and was showing my friend as he was thinking of getting a smart TV but would consider alternatives.
He watches Man Utd games and streams them all.
I was trying to see if I could do that with mine but had no joy, as the game appears in a pop up.
Is it possible?
Cheers

If using android then yes, I do the same thing but using a app called torrent stream, would use the website wiziwig for my links or the app itself for live sports channels. Using an app called bubbleupnp I can cast to my chromecast. This does exactly what your friend would be doing.

Pocketcasts is the only one worth using.
Pocketcasts, even more so when they drop their 5.0 update, I hear they are working on it now...
I have only ever used BeyondPod, and I don't have any major complaints.

Thanks. I've been looking for a good Podcast app, and saw a video review on YouTube for Pocket Cast....and I'm sold.
I have used doggcatcher for quite awhile now and like it a lot. They have a free version that works great, though I eventually purchased the full version.
I like being able to add a virtual folder that allows my to drop mp3s or whatever in a folder and it treats them like a podcast.
I'd try other ones out as well, but it would have to have that custom/virtual podcast ability for my own files.
