It is "normal" yes.. Chrome changed some settings to allow plugins to be "background apps" and run when Chrome itself is closed... But I still prefer the in-tab version, so I'm wondering if there is any way to switch back?

Sounds an issue on most popular video readers like VLC. I think some of them have made a fix.

I emailed VS support and they sent me the google-cast .crx extension file. I added it to Chrome and it worked again!

Any updates on x265/HEVC support?

The ShieldTV supports Casting natively now as well. It also has hardware HEVC/10bit support.

google's official answer is that you should use the chromecast api and query the device for it's capabilties

@apraetor Yes, if I start playing the playlist on my PC, I can then control via android. But my PC is downstairs, and I like to watch TV as I go to bed, with a random episode or two from a playlist, and I can't initiate that from the phone. I have to go down to the PC, and start it playing the playlist to then control it via phone.
