Play Back videos on Chrome Cast

[Anand Mahadevan]

Currently I have a laptop connected to my TV that I use to play back videos like .mp4 and .avi. Laptop is fixing to die on me. If I buy the chromecast and control it via my iPad can I play back these videos thru the chromecast somehow?
I currently have vlc media player app on my iPad that I use to view these videos on the iPad itself.

If answer is yes, I am running right out the door and getting one!

Thanks!

The app that you want to use will need to support Chromecast. Since Google finally released the developer kit we should be seeing a lot of apps updated.
