Basically an update broke undocumented functionality that doesn't meant there won't be an option to stream local media, as Google explains: We’re excited to bring more content to Chromecast and would like to support all types of apps, including those for local content. It's still early days for the Google Cast SDK, which we just released in developer preview for early development and testing only. We expect that the SDK will continue to change before we launch out of developer preview, and want to provide a great experience for users and developers before making the SDK and additional apps more broadly available. http://www.theverge.com/2013/8/25/4657202/google-blocks-chromecast-app-that-let-you-stream-own-videos http://www.theverge.com/2013/8/25/4657202/google-blocks-chro...

    So, because they don't often enforce the rule, it's OK? Bullshit. Are you seriously telling me that Google, with all it's lawyers couldn't find a way to say "if your use of the service degrades other people's use, or our network, you're out" without putting a blanket ban on "servers" ??

      The have yet to enforce it, not even once, they are just reserving the right as to better shield themselves from potential legal liabilities.
