chromecast can play local video files but is their any way that i can get the movies that i downloaded on my computer to play on my big screen? that would be really cool if their was some way to do this.
I got my CC today, and tried using the native file explorer in Chrome, which unfortunately sucks. I downloaded Plex media server, set up it quickly, and cast the tab I had it open in to my TV....Works like a charm, and I'm pleasantly surprised at how nice and neat Plex is. I think it's definitely the better of the two options, and only took about 15 minutes to set up.
