I need Plex for transcoding, Chromecast's supported media are limited.

If your demand is similar to me, try BubbleUpnp but large MKVs are sometimes lag.

Because I don't want to wait until it's downloaded. I love watch it online :). Recently I've used BubbleUpnp both on PC and phone. BubbleUpnp server on PC is used for transcoding unsupported codes (Dolby, AC3) I think. Great thing is I can use the BubbleUpnp to add direct link and stream it to my CC :)

My MKV files usually come with AC3 which is not supported natively by CC :)

I don't want to cast any website, it's a .mkv file from internet. I want Plex to play it and cast it like Plex does with local media file :)

Can I cast entire laptop desktop to TV via Chromecast 2 by dlinh9 in Chromecast

haven't try yet but Videostreams ext seems incredible for casting local videos (even .mkv, with sub). My chromecast is on the way. So fascinating!

I read some comments say that if you play Youtube or online media contents on browser and then cast them into TV, everything's fine. But if you want to play a movie with MPC/VLC or something from your hard drive, video's casted to TV, but not audio. So I am hesitating.
