Casting ESPN3?

[whitenack]

I was excited about the possibility of casting ESPN3. However, when you click on an event to view, the browser opens a new window for that event. This new window does not have a casting button. Does anyone have a workaround?

I haven't tried casting, but you can copy the URL from the new window and paste it in your original window.

I think there's also a menu setting that says something like "show this window in a tab"... I was able to use that once or twice so far and it worked well.

I haven't tried it with ESPN3, but MLB.TV works the same way and it works if you do this:

Use the Chrome Browser, got to MLB.TV and open the game. Go back to the window with the game list and click "Cast my Desktop," then go back to the window with the game in it and make it full screen.

You should have the game in your full TV screen.

Has anyone tried casting from Free Live Streaming - LiveStream365.com I am considering a Chromecast to bridge the gap between sites like this and my tv where my Roku and Playon dont work...

Arggh! Now my Chrome browser is unable to play ESPN videos. Gives me error code #2406. Not sure what that means, but the videos won't play.

There should be a web address at the top of the espn3.com new window. Most likely it's:

Streaming Online - WatchESPN

Just copy paste that into your chrome browser and boom. It's now it a castable tab!

Works for me, hope it does for you too!
