Koushik Duttashows streaming of video through the gallery app, but a public release isn't on the cards just yet
ClockworkMod developer Koushik Dutta has stepped in to plug one significant feature gap in Google's Chromecast dongle. At the momentChromecast allows content to be streamed directly through the web, or from a mirrored browser window. But there's been no easy way to view locally-stored photos or video directly from an Android phone until now. Koush's app, demoed above, uses an Android sharing intent to push local content from the phone to Chromecast.
Everything seems to work pretty smoothly in the video a single push and the video is streamed to the TV, where it's presumably beamed over a local Wifi network. But Chromecast owners will have to wait a little longer to get their hands on the app, as the terms of the beta SDK forbid devs from distributing any APKs. Nevertheless, it's a promising sign of what could be ahead inChromecast development.
