Chromecast and Ultraviolet

[Jamie Grice]

Hi all,
I did a quick search but couldn't find what I was looking for.

Is there currently any way to view my ultraviolet collection using my newly acquired Chromecast in the UK?
I know Flixster can do it on the US, but as yet unavailable here in the UK (as far as I'm aware)

Thanks
Jamie

Try this?

VUDU - Setup Chromecast

Thanks for the quick reply!

I can't seem to get Vudu to work either, it's the most confusing UI ever!!
The app also isn't available in the UK....

I'm hoping there is a way for this to work over here. I love my chromecast for streaming Netflix and YouTube, I think it'd be a shame to have to use a separate bluray player.


Thanks

Do you have a PC that you can use Chrome with, watch your purchased videos via a web based interface, and just cast the tab?

I'll give that a go. Wasn't sure if I'd heard people mention it was a little laggy....

Thanks for the help!

Videostream maybe?

I doubt it. UV video files require a player that has been approved by UV. I am 99.9999% sure Videostream isn't. I know the folks at plex looked into it, and they basically explained it is priced out of the relm of any possibility for a small company. I think it was in the range of a 200-250k just to be allowed to develop a UV player.

That is completely crazy.

Re: Chromecast and Ultraviolet - Blinkbox

Good news I've just discovered.

Blinkbox (from Tesco) will now let you link to your UV account and it works well with Chromecast from the android app.
