New Chromecast feature

26 June 2019 / Juraj Kacaba / Leave a Comment

We love to communicate and share ideas with our users. Thanks to that, our inbox is always filled with interesting feature requests and resourceful ideas.

One day a feature request about Chromecast arrived and since our main goal with FV Player is to always listen to our customers’ needs, the decision was easy.

Chromecast is now supported by both Free and Paid version of the FV Player!

What’s the Chromecast?

Chromecast is a handy casting solution developed by Google. It comes in form of an adapter that allows you to cast media from your mobile devices on any screen with HDMI connector via your Wi-Fi.

Free vs Pro. What’s the difference?

As I said earlier, Chromecast feature is now supported by both versions of the FV Player. The difference is that the Free version relies completely on the Flowplayer (the core video technology behind FV Player) which unfortunately has a lot of bugs at this stage of development.

For example, with Free plugin yo can run Chromecast for only one player on each page. It also loads JScript library for each player separately which can slow down your website a little.

We’ve fixed most of these bugs and submitted the fix to the Flowplayer development team. You can check it at the Open Flowplayer issues fixed by Foliovision in Flowplayer’s GitHub.

Until Flowplayer development team accepts this we’ve decided to keep the fix for Pro version only.


In the case, you already own a Chromecast adapter you can try it right away on this video.

Just make sure the adapter and your device is connected to the same network and hit the Chromecast button.
