Chromecast supporting app wishlist

[NealJ777]

I know there's a list of apps that are already supporting the Chromecast, so how about a "Wish List"??

Here's a list of a few apps I would like to see on the Chromecast and the developer's website (so we can bug them!).

I don't think we're permitted to publish e-mail addresses here on the forum. So, I'll just say that the contact info for many of these companies are in Google Play.

CBS Interactive:

TV.com
CBS News
C|NET
ZD Net

NBC

NBC Universal, Inc.

ABC


Hulu

Watchever

And please, Netflix, update the app that it don't makes the black screen of death on my Nexus 4 running 4.3 like described here: Black screen of death: Android 4.3 + Netflix - xda-developers

The obvious answer is "any movie player". Let the Chromekey stream directly from my server without any copy/paste workaround silliness in Chrome.

I also want:
* Photos from android/iphone to the Chromekey.
* Currents - when I initiate the cast, turn off the display on the phone but leave the touchscreen active so I can swipe through articles. Back button to turn the screen back on.
* Google+ because duh.

About the only apps I'd love to see are Hulu and Pocketcasts for watching video podcasts. It would be great to have more support for everything, but those are the ones I can see myself using on the device.

Google+; Drive/Docs - especially for PowerPoints (use your phone or tablet to advance slides or even draw or write on the slide while its on display), but also for any other media stored in the cloud; Slacker Radio

TuneIn Radio

Tivo (it is a WISH list, right?)

+1 for hulu & pocketcasts.

Also, I'd like HBOGO, doggcatcher, amazon instant video (web)

 

[dmaul3300]

Vudu & flixster to play my ultraviolet movies

 

[anon(3653)]

Doggcatcher, MLB at Bat, Google + photos, and Google Drive.

Sent from my second brain.. Okay it is the only one working.

HBOGo (without paying for a cable subscription - I'll happily pay HBO directly) and Amazon Prime/Instant. And something that allows live sports games.

Google+, Drive, Vudu, TV Networks (They all need to get on the ball!), and maybe a few anime sites wouldn't hurt like Manga.

I received an email from Flixter representative saying they are interested in the chromecast. They are looking into updated their app with the feature but no timeline is indicated when. Vudu hasn't announced anything yet. Hopefully they will.

TuneIn Radio

Kamin hit the nail right on the head: TuneIn Radio!!! TuneIn Radio on Chromecast would be a major win for everybody involved. It would be a major win for Google; it would be a major win for TuneIn; it would be a major win for radio stations; and it would be a major win for consumers. I hope somebody at Google or TuneIn is reading this thread.

NFL Mobile in time for the season would be sweet!

I have confidence that TuneIn will be able to cast at some point. TuneIn has been awesome at adding Google services to their app. Just give 'em a little time. ;-)

Amazon Instant Video and HBO GO.
