How to Chromecast?

[ufo75]

Hi,

I just updated to the newest version, and it said that Chromecast have now been built into the player, which is great!

But I am having trouble finding any function that allows me to Chromecast?

Could someone perhaps share this info?

Thanks!

I got it to work by choosing the menu option Playback and then Renderer. My Chromecast showed up there together with <local> and when i chose it, the video started streaming

Yeah, I checked that option as well, but I only see the <local> option (which doesn't seem to do anything).

Is your Chromecast powered by USB or do you have it connected to electrical outlet? My Chromecast didn't show up until I either turned on my TV or powered it through electrical outlet

It's connected directly to my TV in the HDMI port. Also connected to the power plug. Turning the TV on doesn't make Chromecast show up in the player.
