I have the exact opposite feeling. Love Chromecast and don't care about Apple TV.

Even if I open a torrent file on my laptop, it automatically starts streaming to the Chromecast.

I'm honestly suprised that someone dares to say that the Chromecast isn't successful/usable

Ps. I have 3 Chromecasts and 1 Chromecast audio

It's not that hard. Create a console application in Visual Studio ( it's a Windows Application).

The arguments are the default ones, that are triggerd when you "Open With" - Choose a program. You receive a filename

Then run a new console, which runs castnow ( https://github.com/xat/castnow ). And voila

PS. Can choose the wrong chromecast when there are 2 devices in the network :p
