Apps and websites for streaming free movies and series.

Showbox
App that has an incredible library of movies and series.
Untick " use internal player" and you can send the stream to your chromecast.
Most material available in 720p
The last two weeks the streaming has been problematic for me, but others have reported success.

TV-portal
App with a lot of movies and series,
Not all links are compatible with chromecast, and some links are dead.

Movie Tube
App. Movies, series. A lot of the material is hosted on YouTube. 😃

Simplymovies.net
The same material as showbox.

Youtubeonfire.com
The same as movie tube.

Tfplay.org
Some movies and series. 720p. Nice page.

Swefilmer.com
Swedish subtitles available.

Dreamfilm.se
Well. This page is sometimes useful too.

So, there it is.
Watching a movie online is not illegal.

Where is my CD? Downloading torrent...

This album isn't available on any of my streaming services.
I bought the CD back in 2009, I listened to it a lot.
Today I wanted to listen to this record again, but it's nowhere to be found.
All my DVD's and CD's are "somewhere" in a box,
why wouldn't it be, it's 2014 and I have a 30/30 connection to the interwebz.

 I am not going to track it down, I have no idea where i put it.
 And I don't have the time or energy to track it down.
So, I found it on the web, in the form of a torrent.
The download is complete right now.

I feel it's morally right to grab a digital copy of this music.

Chromecast and desktop computers

On my laptop, from time to time I wish to cast a browser tab to the TV.

Well, it's possible from Chrome browser, if you have the Google cast plug-in.

Ok, actually it's kinda useless. But it's cool.

Videostream for chromecast is another plug-in that lets you play videos from your PC to your chromecast.

I'd rather use Plex for that, but that's another story.

VidCast, this is what i've been looking for. It's a way to cast videos from the web.

Vidcast is a bookmarklet, open a video in your browser, click the bookmarklet, and if the video is in a supported format it will play on the chromecast. 

CR Cast is a chrome browser plug-in that turns your browser into a chromecast receiver.

This is very cool, at the moment it's kinda limited, but the developer is working on it.

Here is another tip:

Chromecast and some apps.

Times are changing.
I don't watch traditional TV, I don't use my computer for surfing the web.
I use my phone for all that stuff.
Chromecast has made my TV a sort of extension to my phone.

I listen to some music on my phone, wants to hear it loud, push the cast icon, and voila, it's sent to my TV.
I watch a lot of stuff on youtube, same there, if i find something nice and want to watch it on the big screen, Cast it.

Netflix, no problem.

If i want to show my photos to the kids, I make a diashow and throw it to the TV.
I like the fact that i can just lay on the couch and control eveything from my phone.

There are a lot of websites streaming movies and series.
With my favorite app for chromecast, Localcast, I can play almost any video from the web on my TV.
I also use Localcast to cast the media i have on my phone.
Castpad is another fun little app, me and the kids can use our phones to draw on the TV.

There is a lot of stuff going on with the Chromecast right now, new services and apps almost every day.
Caststore, nice app that keeps track on what new stuff is released for chromecast.

And it's a cheap little device, well worth the money.
