chromecast - doubts

[EGLANTINA SANTOS]

Hey,

I've read some reviews but I didn't understand something yet.
I know we can watch online movies, videos...but what about already downloaded movies/videos?
Can I use it to watch stuff that is already in my pc (not online)?

Not at this time but surely it will happen with a third-party app...

Why mess around with local files when you can use The Cloud.

This!!! also someone mentioned in the forum that using plex media server on PC works better without typing the url.

I am not entirely sure what that means but lookup some threads here
