Does the Roku literally implement the Chromecast client software, meaning any app that supports Chromecasting can cast to it? My Vizio TV, for instance, supports casting to it from YouTube apps, but not any other apps.

That said, when I decided to pick up a Chromecast device, I wasn’t aware that Roku supported it at all. I wish I would have looked into it.

It’s just YouTube and Netflix. As I posted below, they are using a different protocol. E dry streaming provider supports Roku and there are tons of private channels.
