One of the most requested improvements we get for Videostream is the addition of an iOS app - so I just figured I'd jump the gun here and let you all know where we're at with it:

• We have a few more things to do before we start work on it
• Once the desktop and android apps are feature complete, we can hammer out an iOS app. We just can't spread ourselves too thin, or projects take way too long to complete.
• TLDR: we haven't started it yet, but it is something that we are DEFINITELY going to build

Feel free to reply to this post to show that you want the feature - user feedback is probably our single largest influence in what we build next and we love talking to you guys!

To everyone who just encountered the Brainfreeze issue on Chromecast, we've just fixed it. There was an old certificate sitting on the Chromecast TV app that we forgot to replace with the rest of them this week

If you're still seeing the error, try unplugging your Chromecast for a couple seconds and plugging it back in to clear that cache - a big sorry for the inconvenience!

We're debating putting up popular videos section on the site to help people see what's popular on VS and get ideas on what to watch next.

Let us know below if this is something you're interested in seeing!!!

Love it! Consider this added to the todo list!

If you're seeing your videos stutter or lag out from time to time (or even very often) you've come to the right place!

Buffering can be a tricky one to fix, a couple things below that might help:

1. Use the quality selector to lower the quality of your video

2. Restart your Router + Chromecast (to restart the chromecast just pull the power out of the back)

3. Try moving your laptop closer to your router as you stream (plug the internet directly into your laptop if possible)

4. Ensure that videos you download are in .mp4 or .mkv containers for optimal results

5. If you want to play other formats or really high quality videos you may need to look at upgrading your router - we know this sucks but from debugging a ton of these sometimes it's the only way.

If you're still having issues after doing the above, please shoot us an email at team@getvideostream.com

We are super super super sorry but Videostream does not work on any Chromebook or ChromeOS due to a bug on Google's side.

We're working with Google to try fix this bug, you can track Google's progress on the bug here: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=233052

*PS. If your Chromebook is in developer mode AND running an Intel processor there is a workaround, checkout how to do it here: http://community.getvideostream.com/topic/4/

I would like to request for a feature that makes it easy for me to see where I have left off such as marking on the playlist all the videos that have been watched. This way I can load whole seasons of several shows on the play list and can quickly switch between shows. A grouped folder view in the playlist once you have added that adding by folder in the playlist will be great also for organizing.

Just talked about this with the team - we're going to do something like this for the next release (at least on mobile for sure)

We've been getting a ton of emails with users saying the app was working before and a couple days after install it breaks and won't load anymore.

If you're seeing:

1. The app not loading at all anymore
2. The app app opening a white screen and then freezing there forever

Do these steps to fix:

1. Update Malwarebytes definitions to the newest version
2. Uninstall and Reinstall Chrome

If you're interested what's happening here: Malwarebytes accidentally flagged a core portion of Google Chrome as a backdoor and removed the file from your computer. A couple days later Malywarebytes realized their mistake and pushed an updated definition (unfortunately at this point the file was already deleted from your computer). There's more information on the malwarebytes site: https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?/topic/163201-google-chrome-nacl64exe-backdoorbot-different-to-other-post/
