VLC devs working on developing compatible software with Cromecast
Currently the Chromecast support is under development, though the project should be ready for user release pretty soon since Felix Paul Kuehne, a lead developer that stands behind the VLC platform, recently confirmed that support for Chromecast will be provided for Windows 8, Linux, iOS and also for MAC. As you might know, Chromecast is a streaming dongle developed and offered by Google, which can be plugged in on your TV via HDMI port. With this dongle you can get a wireless gateway to video, music, photos and apps right on your TV. The best is that with Chromecast you can have access to various apps, as the devs will no longer have to bring apps and software for each TV brand, but only for the Chromecast platform – you will get something like Windows Store, or Google Play, a market from where you can download, play and enjoy all your favorite apps. Once VLC will offer support for Chromecast on Windows 8, you will be able to use all the mentioned features right on your Windows based device and you will be able to run Chromecast apps by using VLC and no other additional media player. So far, there is no clue on when the update will be provided, but we are expecting an official statement related to this aspect during the following days, so stay close.
