vGet Extension (Video Downloader, DLNA) Review

Play Videos directly on your Smart TV
vGet supports DLNA/UPnP to play (cast) videos directly on a DLNA-Device in your local network. Many devices out there support DLNA, for example Smart TVs, XBox, MediaCenters, AllShare Devices etc. vGet does not relay the video stream but streams directly from the internet. This saves battery life - the video even keeps playing when you switch off your Chromebook completely. So vGet offers Chromecast-like functionality without requiring additional hardware.
This requires vGet Cast (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/vget-cast-dlna-controller/ekdjofnchpbfmnfbedalmbdlhbabiapi
) to ve installed
Support for Chromecast will be added soon
Limitations
- Youtube is not supported due to terms of service restrictions.
- No support for streaming formats (rtsp, HLS).
- Flash videos are not detected on all websites
