This is much smoother than I thought it would be. Even full screen youtube videos seem to have a passable framerate. Too bad the audio doesn't work.

Edit: Yep, restarting did the trick. Have media apps without Chromecast support suddenly become Chromecast capable? This is pretty awesome.

Edit 2: Why yes, yes they have! Now if only I could stream audio only ...

Audio works, just restart your Chromecast and device.

But that's different, it will effectively send the URL of video to the Chromecast, which will directly get the compressed stream.

Screen casting with Youtube is a good benchmark of screen casting. Of course, for daily use you'd want to cast from the app directly.
