Looking at getting a Chromecast to replace my HTPC. I almost exclusively use my HTPC with VLC to watch 1080p TV shows. Can I stream 1080p mkv files to my TV instead of the HTPC? Does the DD 5.1 audio go over the HDMI properly?

I would use my normal desktop PC to stream and get rid of the HTPC if this was possible.

Check out a Chrome extension called Videostream. I use it daily, and yes 1080p works fine. Plus there is an app for your phone to act as a remote of sorts.
