I'm extremely surprised that Google actually added this to Google TV. I figured, at this point, that my 3-year-old Revue box was long-forgotten by Google.
The "play on Google TV" button showed up on both my desktop (in Chrome) and phone (in the YouTube app) some weeks or months ago, I'm not sure. It works just like this Chromecast thing was described -- whatever I was watching on the other device shows up on the TV and playback can be controlled from either side.
- lftl 13y agoSo you can use the tab casting feature in Chrome to cast to your Revue? I dusted my Revue off, forced it to update, and now I can control it from the Youtube app on my Android phone, but in Chrome it says "No cast devices found"
- dangrossman 13y agoNo, there's no tab casting. Just YouTube sharing. I think it's the Chromemote app that added the button to YouTube. In Android, the native YouTube app can cast to Google TV and remotely control the playback on the TV.
- lftl 13y agoAhh, too bad. Tab casting is really the killer feature to me. I thought I had finally found a reason to use the old Revue again :)
