Playcast

I like that you can Chromecast music, movies, and photos. I don't like that the Chromecast function stops after a few minutes and then I have to fiddle with the app to get it to continue. Also, it takes my Chromecast dongle a few additional minutes to disconnect after I've switched to internal speakers in the app (on my laptop). I've been unable to successfully cast a single song in its entirety. Unfortunate. Also, there's no random or repeat play mode. This is a great start but it could still use some work. I'll spend real money for the full use when it actually works as advertised.

Was looking for an app that would allow me to play my local MP3 collection from my Windows 10 PC to my Chromecast audio so I gave Playcast a try. It almost works - and there's no other apps that do this - So two stars instead of one. But it does have bugs and limited features. Sometimes it can see the Chromecast Audio device, sometimes it can’t, and when it’s casting the whole app sometimes freezes up. It’s also confusing trying to understand when it thinks it’s casting and when it isn’t. When you’re playing, you can’t play a folder of songs, just one, so you may as well play in the Chrome browser and cast from there. The trial period is only 24 hours, so with little kids and a busy life so I couldn’t really truly see if I could work around these issues – And the vendor doesn’t have a web site for help or a forum. If and when this app allows you to reliably cast an entire folder for songs (with shuffle) to a Chromecast Audio it will be a killer app. Until then...

When it works, it works well. Lots of features, etc But needs some stability fixes and playback issues would be solved Please update

App keeps restarting when I use DNLA Devices
