Chromecast released July 24 by Google, has allowed new applications appear to use its great potential.
It is the turn for Aircast, which allows play videos from gallery, Dropbox and Drive on your television screen using Chromecast. An application developed by Koush, one of the best developers for Android.
Koush has been creating fantastic applications for Android that many of you use daily on your terminals. Has worked on applications like ROM Manager, Superuser and Helium, the application to create backups. You recently implemented the Chromecast functionality within the CyanogenMod ROM.
Now you have created this wonderful application called AirCast, which allows users to use Android gallery, Google Drive or Dropbox to play videos through ChromeCast. With only select a video that is stored in any of the aforementioned locations and use the AirCast share menu to play them.
Koush has been working with SDK protocols to be able to bring this beta to light so that we can test it. Applications that use the official SDK are not allowed to be released to the street user. Google made existing SDK users sign an agreement not to build Chromecast apps built with the SDK. And thanks to the fact that Koush has programmed the application without using the SDK itself, he has been able to launch this beta.
If you want to try it, you have to go directly to the Koush website to download the APK from this same link. The only thing to keep in mind is that this initial release is only a beta and the application expires after two days. Koush has said that plan to release a free version from AirCast, as an extension for Chrome.
Besides, it will launch the code so any developer can use it to create your own Chromecast app in the future. Little by little the possibilities offered by a gadget like ChromeCast are shown, and we are only at the beginning.
