When I first bought a Chromecast I was disappointed how much of a pain it was to play content I already had on my computer. I shouldn't have to spin up a Plex server just to get acceptable streaming capabilities.

The VideoStream chrome plugin is spectacular for this. Of all the chrome plugins I've installed over the years, this is still the only one I continue to donate towards.

These days you can cast with VLC which makes this much easier.

You can do this natively with Chrome. Just go to the overflow menu in the top right > Cast... > Sources > Cast file.
