Hey Bang!

On the android app, we were doing a staged rollout so not all of you guys had the new android app for a couple days! We just rolled out it out to 100% so if you reboot your phone and check for updates, you should get the newest version!

On the IP tables, you should be able to set that command to run every time on boot, which distro of Linux are you running?

I have the same problem.
I have registered the Premium version and set up the link to my movie folder but still cannot select a movie from the phone app.
This is the last time I pay for software before it proves it works.
I can run a movie from my PC through chromecast using a free android app RS File Explorer.
This app doesn't even require any software except file sharing to be running on the PC.
$35.00 US down the drain.

As I stated in another thread on this forum, I have the same kind of problem. The streaming from my Windows 7 pc works just fine, I can make playlists just fine, but my mobile app on my Samsung Galaxy S4 seems to be extremely sparse. I can only pause, skip along my pre-made playlist and control volume from my phone, not browse any of the folders I have added to my media library on my pc, not from the mobile change subtitles as the pictures on your Google play store page would indicate; there's simply no options to do anything else inside the mobile app.

Added is a screenshot of how my mobile app looks like on my phone.

I have tried reinstalling the app on both my phone, pc, turning off the firewall, but nothing changes on the app itself, ist just works as it did before anyway.

Reinstalled Chrome for another reason, tryied again and this time it worked perfectly. Consider this issue closed.

Could you try playing an MP4 and see if the buffering still happens?

Come on guys, at least read this and acknowledge that you have seen it. This would be a very sensible (and fairly industry standard) thing to do with your product :-)

To stream photos: just open up the app on desktop app, click the big blue button in the centre, then click the chromecast you want them to stream to and you'll be good to go!

Note: You'll need a chromecast on the same wifi network and the cast extension installed to do all of this :) (If you don't have the cast extension, our app should guide you through the whole process)

@jonesy999 iOS coming in the next few weeks!

Kinda sounds like the machine cant transcode fast enough to stream, Ive learned this through watching cpu usage while streaming, it uses a lot more with avis than anything else, I normally just convert the offending avis with handbrake but i understand that isnt a viable option for everyone.

funny you know, i dont consider myself a great it guy but i sorta figured this would come up, you do understand the the app transcodes on the fly right? this means that your perhaps craaptastic computer has to be able to keep up if the file being played requires it, Ive had this happen a few times with avi's. Long story short, problem is most likely operator error.

I reported a non real issue and already erased it from here to reposition the true:
Chromecast didn't let me to drag an .avi video file into it. Instead, it always started to duplicate that file.
I didn't know Videostrem by the time. So I converted the .avi to .mp4 with DVDfab and this program added the substitles, directly to the to the file, missing non-english characteres like ç, õ, etc.
When I used Videostream to display this videofile there were 2 substitles: The one added by DVDfab (with missing characteres) and the one (perfect) that appeared because of Videostream,
Undestanding now that Videostream did never duplicate the subtitles, I apologize and the minimum I can say is that your app did it right and also read the .avi video file that Chromecast can't cast directly. VLC was a way round but Videostream is the best way round.
Your app is awesome!

´Your app displays portuguese subtitles quite well and runs an .avi file that c
As for me your app is awesome.

I'm seeing a similar issue, except that it is the screensaver running behind the video. Part of the logo is visible above and below the movie that is playing, instead of just plain black background.

I did stop casting and then start casting again and it is still there.

Just ran into this at home and it looks like there is an easy (although somewhat annoying fix). Rebooting your computer should put things back into working operation

Restarting chromecast, router and chrome didn't seem to have any effect

@Andrex101 Hey! This sounds a little like a file that we're having trouble reading. Any chance you could message me the name of the file? (Jason@getvideostream.com)

If that is the case, should be an easy fix on our end!

status update?
