Best way to cast downloaded files to android tv?

by jmurph116

I've downloaded some movies and tv shows and can't remember what apps I can use to cast the media to my mibox. I'd like to still be able to use my phone in the background like when I cast netflix or YouTube.

Plex.

Kodi or Plex over your network instead of casting.

Cast? Just access them thru the Local Network menu of VLC, with your Mi Box remote & give your phone a break power-wise.

I am using this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instantbits.cast.webvideo&hl=de

It can cast pretty much any video you find online (except for amazon prime instant video), as well as files stored on your device or in your network.

AllCast is the best way to "Cast" them from a phone. In my opinion the best way to watch them if you are on your home network is Archos.

Thanks for all of the feedback guys. Gonna tinker today and see what works best.

Videostream for Chromecast works pretty well too if you use Chrome.
