Tv portal, now with chromecast support.

Tv portal has a lot of movies and series available for streaming. And now it even supports chromecast.

Well, it was possible to cast earlier, via apps like Localcast etc. But kinda frustrating since not all links are of the formats supported by chromecast.

Now there is a built in function for chromecast, making it a little easier.
To be able to cast you need the Chromecast plugin.

Streaming torrents to Chromecast (android)

Flixtor, (Google play link)
This is cool, it's a good looking app.
Very smooth, and allows you to stream videos to chromecast via torrents.

So, you must have the pro version of the app to be able to cast, and since its pirated stuff, here is the link to a pirated version of the app. :)

Ok, I think the developer has done a good job, and deserves something in return, but I also think this kind of stuff should be available for everyone.

Popcorn time is also out there, supporting Linux, Windows, osX and now also Android. I believe it will support chromecast in a near future.

Spotify Free, tablet mode on phone, chromecast.

Now and then I listen to music on spotify, mostly when my friends post a link.
Being a Google play music all access subscriber, I don't see any reason for having spotify premium.
But only shuffle mode is available on phones with spotify free...
Unless you have root, xposed framework (link) and a little nice module called TabletMetrics (Link)
So, there you go, tablet mode.

Now, the even nicer part is the app Spoticast (link)
It makes it possible to send the music from spotify to your chromecast.
Absolutely brilliant.
Spoticast has just been released, so it's not "perfect" yet, but it works fine for me.
All this technology is magic, and these developers are wizards.

Update: Spotify went 100% retarded and deliberately broke the spoticast function. I can only recommend finding another music streaming service.

Update 2: The SpotiCast developer has fixed the functionality, it's possible to cast again. At least until spotify breaks it again. :)
