Long-time Plex user here. I set up the server on my PC and downloaded the app, since the blog noted Chromecast availability. However, it is nowhere to be found.

 

Is there some sort of beta I have to enroll in?

> Chromecast SDK is public now. This means we are READY TO CAST!

 

I suppose I misread it, but I ask about beta due to later on in the blog post.

 

>We are currently in beta testing with the different platforms including Android, iOS and Web.

Should be soon. The developers are working on some changes due to the last version of Google's API. Those changes broke things in the implementation.

More importantly when is the ChromeCast going to be sold to the other 95% of the world population.  :P

 

Engadget had a rumour that UK might be getting it start of March, but no time frame for any other countries.

Room for an enterprising member in the states to buy a load and sell them to us Brits!

 

 

Unless there's a country difference in the design ;-)

I would think Google is trying to make sure it sells well in the states (which it is) before moving on to the U.K. I can't imagine what the holdup is....

When you guys add chromecast support, please let it be able to stream HD audio where available?  

 

Somehow the Plex folks missed this.

Super excited to see this make it's way to Chromecast now that the SDK is open. This seems the best Android replacement for XBMC, def worth $5!

You can get them from Amazon UK, or Expansys.

 

I have one. It works very well with MB3 ;)

Heh thanks for this topic.  I saw the other chromecast thread ordered one which I received the other day.  Went to plug it in to see my only options of Netflix and Youtube.  Booo!

 

Looking forward to MB ChromeCast!
