I am really struggling with costs and earnings, so let's try 5 casts per rewarded video ad.
LocalCast is the number one casting solution on Android with over 10,000,000 users!

// Pictures
On a Chromecast:
Rotate, zoom and pan pictures easily from the "Now playing" screen, touch the
button with the four arrows.
// Subtitles
Subtitles work with Chromecast and Apple TV 4:
- Use the Opensubtitles.org integration
- Touch a subtitle file after you started a video
Subtitles in the same folder are added automatically.
You can set a subtitle folder which will be searched.
Subtitle timing, font, background and color can be changed.
Subtitle encoding in the settings: e.g. for arabic subtitles choose UTF-8
Some DLNA servers add information about subtitles, some don't.
// Wireless headphones (beta)
Touch the headphone symbol on the "Now playing" screen, to stream the sound to your phone.
It's impossible to sync this automatically and network delays make it hard.
This feature is in beta: it might work most of the time.
// Chromecast supported formats

// Recommended PC software to convert your files:

// In app purchases:
The app is free and ads supported, all purchases unlock all Pro version features:
- No ads

- Video preview when seeking on the "Now playing" screen
There are subscriptions "/month", "/year" and one time purchases.
I am just one independent developer working on my apps whenever I can, without a big budget for testing on various devices.
