Wish: Support Chromecast

Hi Chinesepod-Team,

I would like to see the videos on my TV.
Currently I don’t have a good way to achieve this.

Some good apps supports Chromecast (e.g. Youtube, Daily Burn, etc.), so it is very comfortable to bring videos to TV.
Do you have any plans to support TV-mode via Chromecast or different technology?

(Maybe after you IOS-App is finished?)

Have you tried casting your browser? Does that work?

What device are you using? iOS or Android?

Hi Gwilym,
thanks for your answer.
I have tried browser casting.
it technically works, but it is in general no joy with videos embedded in a HTML page.
If web sites allow full screen videos it is okay.
Because with chinesepod full screen is not supported, it is hard to see even the full video.

I use android.

I also would love to have this functionality added. Right now it’s not really useful to watch the videos from the app if you can’t watch them full screen and it would be even better to be able to cast to the TV directly from the app. I currently cast a lot of CPod content from youtube using the chromecast but it would be very nice to do it directly from the app.

I’ve messed @hunter_robbert to look into Chromecast support on the Android app. Thanks

This would be a great feature to Chromecast from the app! I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

3 years later, still no support for casting to TV… no Android TV app… mobile app on Android is still damn clunky… -_-

Hi there,

Our current Android app supports Chromecast to capable TVs and devices. If you have any other thoughts or feedback, feel free to leave them in the following link: http://www.chinesepod.com/feedback
