Oh my God, I love this app. This is not a fake review and I never write many of them. But All VIdeos on my regularly visited sites casted to the Tele from a MacBook Air. AHHHH a few hick-up in which the extension didn't grab the video, but a quick refresh of the page sorted that problem. LONG LIVE THIS EXTENSION! If you make a video player that can cast as well as this; I'll invest and/or by that product.
Works like a charm only when it doesn't. I'm not sure why RokuKast likes certain videos, and then it will say, "Video failed to play." for other videos. Trying to figure out what RokuKast wants in order for it to work.
