  • (2023-01-15) Bjarne Winkler: I love I can do this: https://go2nts.com/playit/video/jeep.mp4 but I hate I can't do this: file://KONA/TestVideos/jeep.mp4 where KONA is my local server. I know that ChromeCast does see that server, but the castbuddy is forcing a "HTTPS:" in front of my "file" string - BUMMER!

  • (2021-12-22) István Szabó: Hello I can't select the chromecast because the new chrome update doesn't allow it. Anyway, very good extension.
  • (2021-12-09) M S: Doesn't seem to cast anything it finds - does the loading line then shows the castbuddy logo. Every time.
  • (2021-05-24) Alex James: next update please relocate the `+` button to add new m3u8 files somewhere where i don't have to scrool the ui left to right, thanks
  • (2021-05-13) Szymon Nowak: Kiedyś było w porządku, lecz od jakiegoś czasu gdy rozszerzenie nie jest w focusie, przerywa przesyłanie. Wystarczy kliknać w dowolne miejsce poza rozszerzeniem lub otworzyć nowa karte i wywala.
  • (2021-01-19) Dan: No audio .
  • (2020-12-23) Thomas: It doesn't detect videos
  • (2020-11-02) Matteo Iniguez: It would cast but show nothing but your logo...Im casting from my computer
  • (2020-09-21) Quang Hoang Nguyen: Is stop working for me now. Castbuddy find the videos but can't find my tv. If I press on the stream cast icon to stream to tv. Is not showing the tab to choice the tv anymore. Any tips????
  • (2020-09-13) Tony B: It casted the video but takes the screen hostage while it's playing. If I try to go to a different tab or try to scroll on the page, the video instantly stops
  • (2020-08-29) Enrique Rodriguez: the older version was better it would play the next stream automatically
  • (2020-08-23) Pedro Cabral Berumen: The last update was a big mistake, now the information inside the pop-up (to find, add and control videos) doesn´t fit and always have to scroll in horizontal way. But the saddest thing is that now the volume control doens´t exists anymore. I like it before when it was easy to scroll in the queue and the volume option was enabled to use it directly from the extension.
  • (2020-08-15) Yesenia Fontanez: Esta nueva version es totalmente inutil una total basura ya no se puede conectar al chrome cast la version anterior era muchisimo mejor.
  • (2020-07-30) Mehmet AKINCI: iyi
  • (2020-03-27) P N: Maybe I don't know how to use it properly, but I can't make it working on a youtube page, it doesn't accept the Youtube URL of the video.
  • (2020-03-25) Oscar: i cant add video files from my pc?
  • (2020-03-24) Ruby Rendle: does not find any devises to chrome cast on yes i have got chrome cast on my tv's but for some reason it does not pick it up
  • (2020-02-15) George Machun: I was hopeful this would work but it just didn't seem to work at all well. Endless loading but no playing. Too bad it's a great idea.
  • (2020-01-01) Clara P: I thought this would be the answer to all of my issues, however the website I wan't to stream from does not work. The extension says "No compatible videos found on current page, visit any page containing videos you would like to cast.". I know the video isn't compatible with chromecast, that is the point of the extension, to watch the videos that chromecast won't connect to itself.
  • (2019-12-13) Κανάλι: it's buffering a lot..
  • (2019-12-10) Роман Иванина: Отлично работает. Транслирует видео со многих сайтов, глюков не замечено. Спасибо!
  • (2019-10-15) zbik zbik: super! Jak na razie wszystko da się wrzucić na TV, a jak jest jakaś oporna stronka, to rzutowanie "pulpitu" załatwia sprawę.
  • (2019-07-14) Ryan Morwick: They did it! Nice one, they did it right out the gate!!
  • (2019-07-02) Fisherman Renji: It detects Video and everything fine, and I was able to queue everything I wanted up, but when it came time to cast, it just loaded forever.
  • (2019-05-31) BİBİSTİK: bok
  • (2019-03-08) Laura Peralta: Used to work flawlessly but now refuses to connect to chromecast.
  • (2019-03-01) Görkem Akkaya: harika
  • (2019-02-10) nazım KOZAN: harika
  • (2018-10-28) Graziana Ghio: E' stato aggiornato, ora pare che funzioni anche con l'ultima versione di Chrome, la 70.0.3538.67 . Grazie, è un grande aiuto, senza CustBuddy il mio pc non riusciva più a castare nulla

  • (2018-08-29) Jannes Schwarz: absolute trash
  • (2018-08-28) Keerthi Nandan Vitta: This is what every one wants.... :) I liked it a lot and can cast any web url video. We can queue the videos and dont need to keep your pc on while playing the videos. Thats the perfect app for chrome cast
  • (2018-08-22) Franck F: Very good
  • (2018-07-28) Sensei Rodney: beauty!!!

  • (2021-12-19, v:1.0.3) David Kaiser: Chrome 96.0.4664.110 on Mac OSX 'Start Cast' button no longer works

  • (2021-10-09, v:1.0.3) Fernanda: Subtitles.
    Everything it's good with this extension. I really love it but since I like to watch foreign movies with subtitles when I send it to the chromecast there's no option to choose or put subtitles, and have to keep watching them on my laptop instead. I would really appreciated if you took this into consideration :(
  • (2021-09-12, v:1.0.2) Hans Georg Mitteregger: Casting
    Hi, since i updated chrome, castbuddy is not casting anymore. Chromecasts are not found. With chrome it is no problem to see the chromecasts.
  • (2021-08-02, v:1.0.2) Pedro Cabral Berumen: No casting anymore

  • (2021-07-18, v:1.0.2) Nik RuLeZ: Problems Casting Instagram live
    Hi I used to be able to cast instagram live stream to the nvidia shield via casting recently (past 45 or so) am not able to do so. It tries to load up but fails and just shows the castbuddy logo after 3/4 seconds. Has anything changed? The stream URL looks like this: https://instagram.flhr4-4.fna.fbcdn.net/hvideo-prn-ldc/_nc_cat-110/v/r8ssiHIHrhmftj_qm2LOe/pbef-1/_nc_ohc-J5xLUlGcy8AAX-t73NM/live-dash/dash-abr/17882349878386309.mpd?_nc_rl=AfBb_yj3uILsNij0Xvo&ccb=2-4&ms=m_CN&oh=2573ff8c64099b95bf9583e3789156b4&oe=60F127E1 That URL used to work but since it's stopped working in castbuddy ... I've tried to use VLC and it works ... even by casting from VLC to nvidia shield. The only problem with this approach is that VLC needs to stay open. Any suggestions to fix this so I can enjoy my live IG streams being casted on the nvidia shield again? Thanks in advance Nik

  • (2019-05-16, v:0.0.106) Vladimir Dugat: Monetization of browser extensions
    Hello, We are looking for partners with extensions who are interested in installing our SDK extension for Chrome/Opera/Yandex. Our SDK collects anonymously advertisements. Are you interested in the discussion? This can be an additional income for you. We do not compete with any other monetization. All this is compatible and transparent, does not affect the UX speed, surfing speed and user usability. Thanks! -- Kind regards, Vladimir grow.rdd at gmail.com
  • (2019-03-10, v:0.0.106) Carlos Morelli: Live Streaming
    Does it cast live streams? Every time I open a page with a video streaming live, the extension shows a 0 (zero) notification, and if I click on it, the "no compatible videos were found" message appears. The fact that it shows a 0 notification is as if the extension knows that there is a video playing but it's not able to cast it.
  • (2019-03-10, v:0.0.106) David Durgee: does not find video stream to cast on website
    I installed your extension expecting it to be able to cast the video from this website: http://church-redeemer.churchonline.org/ Unfortunately you are not seeing the video stream: No compatible videos found on current page, visit any page containing videos you would like to cast. Make sure to disable Adobe Flash Plugin under: Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Content Settings -> Flash I have disabled Flash, so that is not the problem. Could you take a look at the site and add support for it? The stream will be available several times today, but you will have to wait a few days for it to be available again after that. Dave
  • (2019-03-08, v:0.0.106) Laura Peralta: Stoped working
