// Videos
Please be aware that the Chromecast only supports a couple of formats. Videos stored on your iPhone, iPad or iPod will be transcoded automatically. For videos on other sources:
The Chromecast can read containers like mp4, mkv, 3gp and m4v, but all these containers can use different codecs. If you cant hear the audio of a video, then the audio codec is not supported. If you cant see the video but hear the audio, then the video codec is not supported.
// Subtitles
You can use the integrated Opensubtitles.org search to add a subtitle manually.
Internal subtitles which are inside the video container dont work, yet.

Latest reviews of LocalCast: stream to TV app for iPhone and iPad
It takes a really longtime to connect to the chrome cast
I tried several times to transmit from my Serviio server to Chromecast using my iPod Touch 5. The connection was interrupted every time.
This app was perfect but then I tried streaming a movie from my DLNA NAS and the audio didnt work. Streaming 1080p over to my chromecast was so fast! No lag and no precahing! :) wish more codecs were supported though. As a result, no pro purchase.
Doesnt work. Crashes often. Everything days it doesnt support format.
Thanks so much. It enables my Apple TV 4 to stream from my local DLNA Device so easy, and its running perfectly.
