en Doesn't stream for me. It detects the video link (m3u8) It detects the device I want to cast to (Nest Hub) It initializes the video but the screen stays black and busy but never plays. I guess I'm stuck using Web Video Caster for android to stream my links. meh!

I love I can do this: https://go2nts.com/playit/video/jeep.mp4 but I hate I can't do this: file://KONA/TestVideos/jeep.mp4 where KONA is my local server. I know that ChromeCast does see that server, but the castbuddy is forcing a "HTTPS:" in front of my "file" string - BUMMER!
