All you have to do is drop some directory with .MP4 files (supports subdirectories) or drop the .MP4 file into your Chrome browser
ALLOW EXTENSION:

Latest reviews
- (2023-10-08) AMALGAM: Нет поддержки популярных видео форматов, так же как и у практически всех локальных плееров в разделе расширений. Они все одинаковые, просто с разными скинами. Иначе говоря - кринж какой-то
- (2022-12-17) Kostas Petrakis: The only reason I used it, was to cast subtitles to chromecast but there is not even a menu to choose the subtitles. How is supposed to show the subtitles? There is no difference than casting from chrome without it just has a different tab for the video. Nothing else at all.
- (2022-12-15) Roger Sandvik: Works perfectly.

- (2020-09-14) KPR Food Oy: Mitä tällä tekee? Saa avattua yhden uuden sivun josta ei ole mitään hyötyä eikä pääse eteenpäin. Tällä ei siis ole mitään käyttöä?

- (2019-11-10) Jonatan Chinchilla Arias: Muy buena aplicación.
- (2019-10-25) ger baz: subtitles play on chrome tab while only the video on chromecast
- (2019-10-22) Dave Duffner: Used to be great but with every Chrome update it gets less and less worth dealing with!!
- (2019-10-13) Kim YongHyun: This is a great program for working with mp4 files that mkchromecast can't. It also shows subtitles such as Korean and English. One problem is that subtitles disappear when "optimize full screen" option is selected. Except for this, there seems to be no problem playing mp4. Can you fix it?
- (2019-09-04) Patrick Gough: A useful add on when other methods of casting, etc dont work. started having problems w Amazon Prime wont play vid or cast w chrome claims old chrome version but its a hiccup on their end. However, you can bring amazon upin chrome as usual, instead click to play, drop it in the cast player tab and voila, both player and casting worked.
