This library seamlessly integrates audio & video

Easy to use with excellent documentation for beginners like me as well as advanced developers who want more features. It is very easy to integrate into existing apps or even create your own custom receiver app that uses their API if needed. The google cast API's are not always available in all countries at this time so it can be tricky when trying to test functionality outside of the US/Canada markets. I currently work on an Android application which we need support for several different…

Pros
  • Works great
  • Great library size (over 300 million video titles)
  • Very intuitive interface similar navigation structure than YouTube
  • Can run alongside any web browser without having native code installed.
  • Low latency connection compared
Cons
  • Almost everything is ok

Very useful system which saves money too

I love that this is an open source software so anyone can use it without having to pay for anything! It's easy to set up and once you get used to how everything works then it becomes very simple to use. You don't have to be tech savvy at all as it comes with lots of tutorials online. If there are any problems or issues please contact their support team who will help solve your problem quickly. This has helped us connect our TV screens (which we didn't want just using HDMI) in order to access…

Pros
  • Easy setup
  • The app store makes finding what one needs super quick.
  • Very reliable doesn’t freeze, crash etc..just keeps working which saves time if something does go wrong.it never crashes like my laptop sometimes tends too do!! :)
Cons
  • Sometimes not available where wanted most times but still good service overall

Very easy solution of adding streaming capabilities

This is a very simple way to add casting to your application. No matter what device you are using, this will work. Casting from mobile to TV. The UI can be improved a bit but at least it works as intended. We use this in our office so everyone has access through their mobile devices. It's great that we don't need to install software or setup anything. With this, everyone is able to see whatever they want with no barriers to entry. I like that the app has been updated to work with newer…

Pros
  • Great support team available via email/chat etc
Cons
  • Some issues related specifically ChromeOS / Linux distros sometimes screen resolution gets messedup.
  • App crashes occasionally due too frequent usage
