#WHAT VIDEO FORMAT IS BEST FOR CHROMECAST ISO#
My preferred iOS app for selecting my video to play/cast to Chromecast is called File Browser It costs a few bucks, but I think it is worth it.Īs I previously said, if I watch MKV files they are ones I made from my ISO files, and they are fairly complex videos that requires them to be played by my WDTV. You also need an app that has the capability to cast to Chromecast not all apps can. Example is MKV I really have not found an iPhone app that can do it, but I have not looked hard for one either. OK, since the iPhone and app used to select video to play/cast is what determines what video format will play, they can play/mp4/m4v files and Chromecast can display mp4/m4v files on TV, but other formats are harder to cast if app cannot play video format natively on iPhone.

Since I have had the first gen Chromecast, this past month I purchased the newest one for the better Wi-Fi speed and processor, since I do all video streaming on the 5G band.Īt the price of a Chromecast it makes $ense to upgrade if one uses their Chromecast often.
The big difference is faster processor and better Wi-Fi ,because it is dual-band and uses either 2.4 or 5G bands. This is a good time to mention there are now two models of Chromecast (gen1) and Chromecast 2 (or gen2) Google still calls the newest one Chromecast. Basically, you need a fast router with fast Wi-Fi. I am going to presume you have already been streaming movies from your computer to your Chromecast, and you know how well it works on your network. So, start off with a basic My Cloud NAS and select the disk size model you will require. You have a lot of space on it for storage, especially if you are just getting started collecting video files. Since you want justification of using a My Cloud, this is one: it can store a lot more data than most computers (that also must be turned on), plus, if the My Cloud is on and on the home network, it is a lot easier and simpler to play videos from it. Selecting video files from a computer to play works OK if you do not have a lot of them, A My Cloud can store a lot more, and you can also easily stream them to play on a phone or tablet. He has replied above, so I’ll see if I can help a guy with his described equipment (cpt, pitch in if you want R_Wat Yes, I know that you were trying to clarify, whereas I was going for simplicity, because the question I posed to R_Wat was the important part of my post. A Roku can be both, so can a WDTV, and likely a Fire Stick.Īnyway, your answers can help me help cpt…

do you already have a Chromecast, and if so, is it your only device you can stream a movie with to your TV? Do you have other devices like a Roku or other kind of media player (a Chromecast is a media streamer, not a media player. If you are, then tell me what equipment you already have e.g.
There are much better ways to do this, and this comment leads me to ask you a question:Īre you looking for a good solution to watch your movie videos on your TV without using a computer? If so, I can make some good suggestions. Yes, I can do it, but it is not my preferred method to watch my mp4, mkv and other video file formats on my TV. To do this you need a specialized app to help it happen.

Your question has been answered well by Bennor, and I agree that a mp4 video stored on a My Cloud (or other storage devices) can be cast to a Chromecast using an iPhone (or iPad or other similar devices). I’m hoping to store media files (music, mkv/MP4 videos on the mycloud, and then be able to cast them to a chromecast via an iPhone, without having to have a laptop/desktop on. I’m thinking of buying a wd mycloud, but not sure it will do what I want…
