Today was the day I unplugged my old Media Player for good! This App streams MKVs direct from my NAS to the Chromecast at Full-HD no problem. Note that audio needs to be AAC so you may have to convert your files but fingers crossed Google will release an update to fix this soon. Can't be happier!

It does play audio and images on my Chromecast and forget videos, videos are extremely slow with this. To make audio and images casting great, I think it should have added a way to make slideshow or just images in row. I had to select a particle l particular photo to cast. And in audio casting too, which though works great in less than 5 sec but still should have added some songs to play in queue.

Crashes plugin after casting a pic every time. Not sure if its on my end, but it stops to buffer every few seconds when casting 1080 video. Thanks for the great software, but please give it a bit more finessing good sir. Love the heck outta Solid Explorer BTW.

The potential to chromecast every media file on the mobile and n/w is thrilling. Having said that, the plugin is rough around the edges: 1. Disconnecting is buggy as the media file continues to play while the phone is disconnected. Also, should auto disconnect when manually exiting solid explorer. 2. Struggles to stream certain HD files which otherwise work fine using alternatives like Allcast, hence a bit of optimisation is necessitated. On the whole, a much welcome functionality addition to SE. ^_^

[Micromax Canvas Fun A63 | Running android v4.2.2 Jellybean] Not working in my phone, doesn't play any video always says that 'Chromcast not installed' & thus I don't know what to do now. Please fix this issue as soon as possible!

Please make it able to select multiple images and change them on screen like a gallery does instead of doing one at a time and back away to change the pictures. The slideshow would be awesome too. I smell the fifth star very soon.

About this app

This is a plugin for Solid Explorer which adds support for Chromecast.
Please note that this is not an autonomic application. Make sure you have Solid Explorer installed first.

The plugin doesn't have its own icon in launcher. In order to launch it, you need to open a media file in Solid Explorer and choose Solid Explorer Cast option as shown on the first screenshot. That's it.
