A Modern App for Modern Times
The interface for this app has been built with HTML, but this is nothing like the web apps you're accustomed to. This has been built purely with modern features that bring a level of performance that wasn't even possible a year ago at this time. For the nerds out there, that means WebAnimations, WebComponents, Service Workers, Polymer, and on and on.
We've updated our Chromecast app with new features for Chromecast Ultra, which now features improved playback for the following scenarios:
