Web Video Caster® is an application that allows you to stream videos directly from the web to your TV using popular streaming devices. These devices include Chromecast, Roku, DLNA receivers, Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick, Smart TVs from brands like LG, Samsung, and Sony, and even gaming consoles like PlayStation 4. The app also supports most web browsers, making it easy to cast videos from your phone or computer to your TV. If you encounter any compatibility issues, you can contact the developers with the brand and model number of your device for assistance.
The app supports a variety of media types, including HLS live streams in M3U8 format, movies and TV shows, MP4 videos, live news and sports, HTML5 videos, photos, and audio files. However, your streaming device must be able to decode the video you are playing, as the app does not perform any video or audio decoding or transcoding.
To start streaming, simply follow the step-by-step instructions provided by the app. You can browse the web or your local files to find the video, audio, or photo you want to cast, and then connect to your streaming device to begin casting.
The premium version of the app offers additional features such as no in-app advertising, bookmarks, a customizable home page, video history, queueing, a homescreen shortcut, and a list of your most visited sites. However, not all of these features may be available on all streaming devices.
As with any app, there are some limitations and disclosures to be aware of. The app is not affiliated with any web media providers and has no control over the content they provide. It also does not support tab casting, and cannot fix any issues that may arise on the server side, such as playback failures or buffering. Refunds are only available within 24 hours of purchase, and you must provide the order number in text form for a refund to be issued.
The developers are committed to open communication with their users and encourage them to contact them with any questions or support issues before leaving a review. The app requires certain permissions, such as access to your phone state, Wi-Fi connection information, storage, and in-app purchases, in order to function properly. It also requests location permission on devices with Android 6 or higher, but this is only for websites that require your location and can be denied without affecting the app's functionality.
