Google Chromecast Installation Guide

Please note: that there are variations of Chromecast that we support and others that we do not.

Before we begin, please carefully read the guidelines and instructions below.

We do not support the old Google Chromecast, specifically the 1st through 3rd generations. However, we do support Chromecast from the 4th generation up to the latest version, including Google Chromecast with Google TV.

Here is why we don't support the 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation of Chromecast:

  • Every movie or TV show comes with its own video codec and list of audio codecs. Chromecast supports only a specific number of them. While some content is supported by Chromecast, others are not. 

  • Typically, our TV shows are in MKV format, which should be supported by Chromecast, while movies are in MP4 format.

  • We recommend considering alternative solutions, such as using a proper Android device with Google TV and connecting it to the television you want to watch on.
