Been using the app for a few hours now since the major update (2.0.0.3) and it works great. Video plays smoother and forwarding or rewinding large bits of video doesn't make it go blank like before. Great Work!

-Feature Request-
I would like to have the ability to set an external subtitle (srt) by pairing it with a queued video in the playlist. So that once it starts playing, the subs are auto. If possible also to automatically scan the folder which the video is from and play subs with the same name.

Thanks and keep up the great work.

@coorasse I use an application (for windows) called Sublight http://www.sublight.me/welcome/
it works pretty well for me, just right click any video you may have downloaded and click "Find Subs"
it checks the top sites like opensubs/subscene/podnapisi/addic7ed and almost always works for me

@eviledward I had a question similar to this some time ago, No, there isn't. The only way to open it is via chrome://apps or the Chrome App Launcher or the Shortcut which should be in the Start Menu under Chrome Apps (Windows)

@alemosh ext subs are supported, when opening a video chose the sub file you want to play alongside then open them together. same deal for adding to playlist.

@oliver It does indeed, what happens is Videostream will use the ffmpeg library to transcode DTS on-the-fly to a format which the chromecast natively supports, all this happens behind the curtain, just pick your video and off it goes.

Hey Guys, a recent chromecast firmware upgrade now includes extended HDMI-CEC functionality. please incorp. this into videostream.

would find this useful

@boto videolan / mpc-hc not good enough? even has subtitles plugins. not to mention is MUCH less of a resource hog than chrome

i realize this is an old thread, however was the op's issue resolved? quick google search shows that VLC is available for ChromeOS

not sure what this is about, but if you dont mind resetting chrome to default settings, that could be the quickest way to fix things,
go here "chrome://settings/" scroll to the bottom, click show advanced settings, then the reset button appears.

@JeffMD cant find a healthy seed for this file. actually i cant find ANY episode from this series with a healthy seed. (FYI: I would have been notified if you had included my handle in your post or quoted me) i would have completely missed your reply had i not been wandering around this forum.

@infected-brain this feature has already been requested (http://community.getvideostream.com/topic/263/route-audio-to-pc-or-android/3) fingers crossed the (small) videostream team get a chance to implement this.

@xbiggyl i agree, the localcast implementation of this feature works pretty well, hope the videostream guys put this on the list.

@jimmypop is your problem similar to this post (http://community.getvideostream.com/topic/244/android-app-never-finds-videos-from-paired-computer-folders/3) ?
otherwise, any extra-ordinary firewall/security applications on your pc?

i second this, there needs to be a settings dialog to change keyboard shortcuts

@mrpunkyx thx for the update.
