Google Breaks ChromeCast's Ability To Play Local Content

Posted by timothy on from the alternatives-abound dept.

sfcrazy writes "Bad news for all ChromeCast users who were thinking of being able to stream local content to their HD TVs. Google has pushed an update for ChromeCast which has broken support for third-party apps like AirCast (AllCast) which allow users to 'stream' local files from their devices to ChromeCast connected TV sets."

    We used to think that infallible truth came from the bible or the words of the Prophet. But now we know that the righteous laws of the online world are found in GoogleTube's terms of service and acceptable use policy.

    There used to be horrible holy wars fought between faiths over Emacs vs VI, or MS vs Apple (And the horror of little endian vs big endian). Now there is only the eternal truth of Google.

    You have now heard the word of Google (Blessings upon it's corporate charter.), netizen.

    Don't let your unfaithfullness happen again or we'll turn over your info to the NSA (which we have never done and have no court mandated agreements with.)
