Cast video

Post by socrates75 »

Hi,i was just shown this amazing app through reddit by the guy who made it and im loving it, as of now i have it set up so i can ask google to open the calculator and it does it, and now i have the cast app installed and am able to set up so it makes my tv say what i have put in the text field but i cant for the life of me figure out what i do next to get it to load and cast a video file by voice, or have it open my playlist file from VLC,if i could get any help at all that would be cool :)
Thanks

To cast a video file, in the push2run card,

for the open field just enter:
c:\program files\cast\cast.exe
(assuming you installed cast in its default location)

and in the parameters file, type in the parameters you would as if you were running the program from the command line, for example:
-device "Basement TV" -file c:\temp\back to the future.mp4

regarding vlc, please check this post which may help:
