This is specifically for Chromecast I've tried a bunch of different Video/Audio players and none of them were close to this player in just working especially when working with external storage. It is also really fast, hands down the fastest compared to the free video players I tried, well worth the money

awsome. audio passthru just works, synced with video. smb just works, even anonymously. its the only player i know so far, that'll just keep your zoom settings. no weird glitches or audio lags when seeking... all those little things, you'd expect vlc to do but it just wouldn't. perfect

Works very well and intuitively for DLNA sharing. Wasn't able to get it to work at all with SMB, unfortunately (Windows 10 host), but the overall performance and features of the app are worth 5 stars anyway. Totally worth the $.
