Watch streaming to Chromecast from PC
– Take a look at these tips, tricks, and solution you can use to make your life much easier with your devices whenever problems arrive and complications which you may find difficult to deal with.
The Chromecast device, which connects to the HDMI slot of a TV conventional, lets you watch movies and internet content on the big screen and do other cool things. But you can also do the same with mp4, mkv, wmv, avi or videos in general saved on your PC thanks to the VideoStream software.
Certainly from the PC you can stream videos or movies to the Chromecast from the Chrome browser and the “Send” option (available in the menu button at the top). However, with VideoStream you have the ability to stream movies saved on your PC in the form of files to TV. In addition, thanks to the VideoStream mobile client you can control playback from an Android device.

The only requirement is that the Chromecast, PC and Android mobile are connected under the same Wifi network. Then proceed like this:
The added video folders will be visible in the Android application, from which they can be played on the Chromecast. The cell phone will function as a remote control, avoiding the need to go to the computer to play local content.
Automatic inclusion of subtitles in videos, support for AVI, MKV and other “450 formats”, and Full HD 1080p streaming for MP4 videos are some features mentioned by the developer. Interestingly, support for “MP3 Streaming” is mentioned, although in practice it seems that this type of file is not recognized.
Unlike Plex, where you had to buy the Android application (the remote control), VideoStream is a completely free alternative (both the PC software and the Android app).
