The app developer needs to build in Chromecast support. So it would be up to Showbox to add it.

Hi
You can cast the screen of you device, so everything you see on your smartphone will be on the TV too.

Check out the app Allcast in the playstore. After you download it you can use it to playback content from Showbox by casting to your Chromecast. In Showbox hit the hamburger icon next to video playback quality and select Other playback...
Here's the link from Showbox that goes into more detail:

I was going to buy this when it first came out but the reviews showed that for local video files, movies that I happened to have on my desktop would result in lag and chopiness framer ate. I was wondering if this is still the situation?
AFAIK, yes. At least in my own experiences.

So if I don't use YouTube or Netflix should I skip out on the chrome cast?

Absolutely! You're better off spending a few dollars more and grabbing an Android TV stick, or splurging on another set top box like Roku/Plex, or WDTV Live box.

Perhaps I have not gotten the update yet but My All cast could not find my CCasts...
I am wondering if that has more to do with Whitelisting delay than my not getting the update yet (All cast did update last nite)
I'm just too damn lazy to get up from my desk to reboot the CCast and test! Maybe after I finish my coffee! LOL
I've been happy with Avia+Chromecast. What does AllCast offer that can't be accomplished with Avia? I tried the timebomb release of AllCast and liked it but can't think of anything it did that I can't do with Avia. Thanks for any info.

Are you running Google Play Services 4.2? It has just started rolling out and is required.
What's the difference between the paid and free versions?

Time limit on playing video IIRC.
EDIT: Ninja'd
I'm watching a local vid on the free version now and its been going for about 10 minutes.
Edit: The vid doesn't stop after a minute but it skips parts.

You have to manually update Google Play Services to 4.2.39 (not to be confused with Play Store app that's at v4.5.10). You can get it from Android Police.

Haven't had a chance to confirm, but assuming things haven't changed significantly from the beta, maybe if the data within the AVI is compatible with Chromecast, but that is unlikely in most cases (MPEG-4 is usually not wrapped in an AVI).
So in most cases, No.
AllCast does not transcode. Neither does Avia.
For that you need a Plex server or a DLNA server that does transcoding.
I seem to recall in the beginning, Koush's casting app was intended to support choosing content from a networked desktop using the mobile app and casting it to TV. I gather it doesn't support that yet / anymore?

In the beginning (it may have changed) AllCast was essentially an "extension" to whatever player/browser you are already using. You then "Share" the content to AllCast and AllCast does the data-forwarding to Chromecast.
Avia can do the same thing if you Share something to it, but Avia is also a player/browser in itself if you run it.

Real player used to support RTSP (probably still does) but that doesn't mean it will support Casting to a CCast.
I saw that tiny cam pro has chromecast support, but I can't get my cameras to pull up on the app so I am not waisting my money on the pro version. I just tested on the lite free version.

Seems everyone is charging for the CCast support these days! LOL
Yeah I would be sure it will work before you buy and if it can't do it in the app itself no way it will work with CCast.

EZCast allows you to stream your camera live to your CC, albeit with a little bit of lag. Not sure about other apps.

i want to cast live streaming channels from xbmc to chromcast.
i have a pc with windows 7, tablet with android 4.4 and a nexus 5 phone.
all with xbmc on them, and connected to the home network.
the only thing close to solution the i found is using screen cast on the nexus 5, but its to laggy and the sound is not synchronized withe the picture.
I'm willing to try any solution, no matter how complicated it is, to enable live streaming to my tv using chromecast.
thanks!
use plex
e: dunno how i missed 'channels', but plex is perfect for media streaming.

XBMC Devs are not interested in CCast at all...
And if you even ASK or Suggest they should support it their standard answer is you should support it yourself!
What tablet do you have? If it is not natively supported for screen mirroring, use the mirror enabler app in this forum and try screen mirroring from the tablet.
Another possible solution, although i dont even know if its possible or would work well, is to setup your chrome browser as an external player for xbmc, then once the stream loads in chrome browser, use tab casting. Research about playercorefactory.xml for xbmc for guides
---------- Post added at 10:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------
Another thing to consider is that if sound in xbmc is off sync you can change the audio offset setting to match things up correctly
oorrr ditch xbmc altogether, and go plex worked for me, and not looked back mucheo better !
1. Download Chromecast 1.7.4
2. Turn on Cast Screen
3. Start XBMC.
Supported devices.
Nexus 4
Nexus 5
Nexus 7 (2013)
Nexus 10
Samsung Galaxy S4

Samsung Galaxy S5
Samsung Galaxy Note 3
Samsung Galaxy Note 10

is there no way to use my pc? (besides tab casting which also has lagging..) some transcoding software maybe?
have you tried BubbleUPnP ???
you can select the XBMC library im sure (as you can plex) then choose external player, and boom ya in !!!!
even the free one does all that too !

Try Cast2TV app on android. you can cast from XBMC-Android to Chromecast (obviously you need to set your playercorefactory.xml).

Thats is what Cast2TV does, If the link is not supported by Chromecast, it transcodes on the fly to supported formats. support .m3u8, rtmp and rtsp live streams as well as .mkv, .flv formats.
I wont buy this to be honest......most of the streams dont work using free version.
