• I want an app that I can stream anything like desktop or videos thorough chromecast with google TV

  Paid, but JustStream does this. In the past, Beamer worked better for me streaming MKVs, but not sure if it can stream desktop. Both are available on Setapp. Source: over 1 year ago

• Is there a video player for Mac that can AirPlay mkv files (not screen mirroring)?

  Https://beamer-app.com/ I bought it a while ago and it‘s the greatest thing - wouldn‘t want to live without. Had problems when they were going silent when the M1 came out but latest update saved my life. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: What is the best way to watch torrents on Apple TV?

  Beamer (https://beamer-app.com/) was my go to choice for this kind of setup. I built a small PC and just plugged it directly into the TV instead of trying to make the Apple TV work with a giant downloaded media library. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Mirroring screen to Chromecast with sound

  Wow... I haven't used a ChromeCast in about 6 years. Ok, have you installed MKChromecast? Last Time I used a ChromeCast I was on Ubuntu, and followed instructions here however I see on MKChromecast page they have an instructional video if you hit the cast button and goto bottom of page.

• Stream from Ubuntu to Chromecast or Miracast

  I need to stream a captured video input from my Ubuntu Kinetic to a smart TV or iPad sink via Chromecast/Miracast or whatever. Can this be done without VLC (not reliable)? Mkchromecast is not working in Kinetic yet, and GNOME Network Displays only casts physical monitors. Source: over 1 year ago

  I think this may help you in your search https://mkchromecast.com/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Found something that I didn't know about with my Home Max
