I love my Chromecasts. I have two of them in our house, and we don't have a television subscription, we just use a mixture of Plex, Netflix, and streams for sports. We're saving a bunch of money every year now, and it works great.
But damn, the lack of a desktop sdk/api for chromecast is just infuriating. I get it, Google believes in Mobile and Web only, but you'd think if they're shooting for market domination, they wouldn't ignore an entire market segment in terms of developer options.
- sanderjd 12y agoPretty off-topic, but what sports streams do you use? I'd love to ditch cable, but can't seem to find good replacements for sports.
- dchuk 12y agoBeen using the links posted here for NFL: http://www.reddit.com/r/nflstreams http://www.reddit.com/r/nflstreams There are sidebar links for other sports too.
- jdboyd 12y agoThis is why I'm hoping for the Matchstick project to work out. Some apps that work with ChromeCast already just work with Matchstick. They recently posted about trying to get supported for DRM requiring apps like NetFlix. There should be more news this week from CES. Of course, for my to consider this a success, I want to see the software running on more than just their HDMI dongle. People have already compiled it to run on some Chinese dongles with the same CPU, but I'd like to see it also run on some more open platforms like Freescale iMX.6, Allwinner A20, and most especially X86.
