What's interesting is they are enabling the Chrome web browser to play any web content available on internet thru your TV. That means porn sites won't have to go thru a seperate box like Roku anymore. But the bad thing for the adult movie industry is that this will enable tube site videos to easily be played on your TV now. No more watching tube site videos on computer you will be able to watch on your TV now. Before you had to use some time of adapter to transmit video from computer to TV. [Link] |

| zambi Senior Member 1451 Posts 3/10 | Posted - Aug 2 2013 : 1:09AM Personally I think Chromecast is just a stop gap solution until Chrome browser is embedded in the TV itself. Think about it. They need Chromecast device right now because the TV doesn't have browser builtin and they also need to support native apps with DRM protection to play premium content. But that all goes away when browser is built into TV and HTML5 is ready. Regarding porn guys, with this they will not have go thru somebody like Roku to offer their content on TV. However, I think streaming so much content will just lead to bandwidth problems. The internet service providers are already placing caps on people's bandwidth usage. This may force them to upgrade their systems but they will fight that? Regardless I think porn fans will still prefer to download files over streaming especially for HD video especially if you are getting docked for bandwidth usage every time you play a movie. [Link] |

| zambi Senior Member 1451 Posts 3/10 | Posted - Aug 16 2013 : 8:42PM I got a Chromecast device and have played with it a while. It appears that if you watch video from a tube site it has issues with keeping up. The video plays on both your laptop or mobile device and is then streamed or relayed to the Chromecast device. I played a video from tube site on my gaming laptop which had no problems playing the video but the Chromecast would sometimes hang or lose audio/video sync. I think it depends on speed of your connection and compression of the video or codec used. You also have to put it in fullscreen mode to have it display fullscreen on TV. But if I played video from Youtube it played perfectly. In this case the video was not playing at all on my laptop. Once I hit the cast button it transferred to the Chromecast and played from there. It's not clear to me if the Chromecast device is getting video directly from internet or its still being relayed from my laptop? I'd have to look at byte counts or something to see. Not bad for $35 (actually cheaper since I got the free netflix for 3months). But not ready for primetime. You could use it do presentations on a big screen TV instead of using a projector or connecting the VGA out to TV. Here's a good article I found on Chromecast hacks, workarounds, and tips.

| zambi Senior Member 1451 Posts 3/10 | Posted - Feb 4 2014 : 6:42PM Google To Developers: Don't Build Porn Apps For Our Chromecast TV Device Yesterday, Google asked developers to write new apps for Chromecast, a dongle device that lets you stream Web content from a tablet, smartphone or PC to your TV. Today, the sharp eyes of Hot Hardware's Paul Lilly noticed a very strong caveat: Google has banned porn apps, along with a long list of other morally dubious things, from Chromecast. Or, to be more precise, Google wants the people who write apps for Chromecast to also obey the rules governing its app store, Google Play. And Google Play clearly forbids porn. It says: We don't allow content that contains nudity, graphic sex acts, or sexually explicit material. Google Play also bans things like gambling, hate speech, depictions of violence and illegal activities, all of which applies to Chromecast apps, too. If a developer ignores the rules and writes an app with forbidden content, Google reserves the right to cut off the developer's access to Google's tech needed to run the app. We've seen this before. Google banned porn apps from Glass, too, and when the first porn app was released for it anyway last summer, Google said it would block the app from working on Glass. None of this will stop human beings from doing what human beings like to do with technologies like Chromecast or Glass. As we previously reported, after Google banned facial recognition technology from Glass, a young developer, Stephen Balaban, started building an alternative operating system for Google Glass that Google couldn't control, he told Business Insider. So, if Chromecast proves popular enough with consumers, we're sure some smart developer will figure out how to sidestep Google's restrictions for this device, too. But, just so you know, Google isn't messing around and wants its first crop of Chromecast apps to be clean and family friendly. [Link] |
