We're releasing a follow-up to the previous release to address a Samsung DLNA issue that crept up on us. But we also managed to squeeze in a few more goodies. Chromecast 2.0 in the Web Client I think the title says it all, but now you can send media to your Chromecast using the web interface. A separate blog post will be coming with full details and a walk-through. In addition, our Chromecast look and feel has been revamped. Look for the Android and iOS apps to incorporate this soon as well. Easy ordering of your views Now there is no more messing with sort orders. Just click the arrows to re-order your views. Play All from here / Queue All from here We've added more functions to make multi-item playback as easy as possible. Note that not every screen has these functions yet, but they'll be added gradually to the entire web client in future releases. + Looking for New Contributors Would you like to help with our future Chromecast development?
