The one you referenced () on that site it's version 0.1.1 for android and it allows you to play the download via an internal player (no ccast icon for me) or to an external player but when I try that with aviva it won't open and no other player I have offers casting. One appears to offer ccast support the other doesn't but it may be available via an external player. Ok well there are two versions of popcorntime. Ie what I want is wholly phone based, or pc based with the phone as a remote, not a mis-mash of both. Ideally I want a situation where if I am unable to use my pc (one of these days the power supply is going to die and I know I will come home from work and wont be able to switch it on) I can just stream whatever I want to watch or if I cant find it on streaming or the whole rest of the world is on the internet and streaming is knackered I can just torrent stream it to the chrome. I was under the impression that without paying for plex it is crippled? Or is it just the extra plugins or channels which require a subscription?ĭoes plex allow torrents to be added? What device does the downloading? So specifically what does plex do installed on a pc with the android app that all the other stuff I already installed doesnt do? Also my serviio setup just works, I dont want to mess with it for no reason. However I already have serviio installed on my pc, which works very will with the sony bdp and bravia 2010 TV, so I wouldnt really want to install plex unless I knew it provided significantly better functionality. I have seen plex, and did install it at one stage a while ago before I had the chromecast, to try and do netflix streaming (as before the chromecast I could only do netflix on my phone or pc, no other solution to play it on the tv I could find except for buggy screencasting). Or a solution which includes fully preallocating the file would perhaps work better? The chromecast is now over a year old and this is the kind of stuff I expected people to hack together in week 1.Īnyway a single app solution would be a lot better. So does anyone know a better method? I can't actually believe that someone hasnt built a torrent downloading + chromecast/upnp streaming apk yet. Rather than playing to the end of the file which has been completed whilst you were watching it. I suspect because the file isn't being fully pre allocated the player only picks up the length of the file as it relates to what has already been allocated when you start watching it. Now I have been testing various combinations (after determining I couldnt get xbmctorrent to complete a movie on my pi without crashing) and tTorrent +local cast seems to work pretty well but I think potentially it cuts the file off at about 95% (ie right near the end). With the casting method being reliant on what happens once you start trying to play the file. Other torrent downloading solutions include Ttorrent for downloading torrent sequentially I know there is torrentTv for the pc which allows you to drag and drop files and cast them to a target which kinda works but it's functionality isn't terribly well designed (ie once it's started playing how do you control it?)įor android I have a mix of apps that allow this but none with particularly satisfying results. I was wondering if there was any savvy xda user out there who had figured out the best method for streaming torrents to the chromecast both with and without a pc?
