Google Blocks Local Content Streaming on Chromecast

This has already been debunked. Just an issue with the SDK. http/www.theverge.com/2013/8/25/4657202/google-blocks-chromecast-app-that-let-you-stream-own-videos

Yeah, ALL 20 people that posted before you that were NOT in support of this move got it wrong I guess. You know us 'kids' are just dumb I guess. You'll just stick by Google no matter what I guess, fanboy! If Apple did this move you would be all over them in a second. The bottom line is this was seen a selling point for the item and to pull it back after you already spent the money on it is just dirty. No matter who does it!

Google never claimed to support the feature so don't expect a pat on the shoulder if you bought it. It was a modded in ability that was obviously going to be patched. Google wants to use it to sell pay services and it's own Google play content, just like Nexus. Bottom line, it's 35$, you get 35$ worth, which is about nothing. That's why better devices cost more kids.

Aww crap, I just ordered a chromecast from that $29 sale. Wonder if it will ship with this update or if I can use it without updating...
