(2023-06-21) Bodzy Bodzyic: Its lagging like the sound doesnt follow up picture yk what i mean
(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!
(2022-08-08) Jaeger4Pan: Doesnt work
(2022-03-30) carsten krause: Nutzloser Schrott, mehr als das Symbol bekommt man nicht auf seinem TV zu sehen!
(2022-03-04) Carlo: Ehrenmann!!! Was eine geile Erweiterung du bist echt ein Ehrenmann!! Endlich mit der Youtube App Chromecasten :D

(2022-01-19) Cannon Earnest: Works like a Charm. I am using this to play my daughter's flinto class videos in my tv. I controls from my laptop chrome browser, simple.
(2022-01-15) Guillaume Perrault Archambault: I guess it's no longer maintained. Doesn't work at all.
(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) Vice: 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
(2018-10-19) David Pinos: Works great and on most sites. Thank you for the constant updates.
(2018-09-26) hamiid Yare: good
(2018-09-21) Marcos Sanchez: It stopped working with the latest chrome version
(2018-09-20) Moa Hajaji: con l'aggiornamento di cherome nn fuoziona piu!!
(2018-09-18) Amir Samir: I works well, just make sure to disable flash in the website you are trying this on
(2018-09-16) stefano pivato: con aggiornamento di chrome, non funziona più. pessimo!
(2018-09-12) Mahmut Keklik: yotubun kendi ozelliginden tv baglanıyorum. ama film sitesinden yapıyorum ceviyor film buluyor ama aktarmaya gelince tv bulunmuyor aktarılacak cıhaz bulunamadı diyor
(2018-09-09) Works about half the time.. the other half it sits there and does nothing even when it detects a video stream.
(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!!!
(2018-07-21) Michaël Lessard: Not really user-friendly and keeps playing the wrong video (the one it as in memory).
(2018-06-27) HavadaKaradA -Destan: saçma sapan
