Price on title please. Yes I am lazy to click the link to find out.
me too
Chromecast is pretty locked (worse than Apple):
The DNS is hard-coded so you can't use US-block for Netflix/Hulu
The function to watch movies from your NAS has been removed.
And it updates automatically during the installation so you can't root it anymore.
Can someone tell me the interest to owe one if you live in Australia?
Can someone tell me the interest to owe one if you live in Australia?
around 5% per annum… but shop around…
You can use avia to watch movies off your NAS.
The developer kit was released yesterday so it should have much more support in coming months.
The API was release in the last 24 hours .. hopefully this frees up some of this ability via 3rd party tools. Plex will be streamable shorty - which is what I'm after .. now I just want to get a chromecast from Google for a decent comparable price to the US.
Can play Plex through it now.
Thought it was a beta/paid user feature still? I don't have a chromecast to check though.
They have just opened up the SDK.
They released the SDK to the public on Monday, so it should start improving.
Easy to fix Forward the google dns's in your router to a lan IP (127.0.0.1)
Setup Getflix DNS into your router
once the chromecast relises it cant reach the google dns it uses the DHCP ones
Obviously, your information is incomplete. You can so root it, as long as you do it as soon as you open it up.

Have others who ordered from Fishpond previously received them okay?
yes, its pretty useful for playing videos from youtube, i stack up playlists for music, short videos, movie trailers etc, working well
Yes. It took some weeks to arrive. Very disappointed because I cannot play/stream media located in my phone/table on the TV. I can play youtube
You can stream now, apps have just been updated. Check out Allcast - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdut…
shows as $60 on fishpond.
deal expired i guess.
they jst priced up to $60 after i click pay
This fishpond seems to be playing games… please ban them from ozbargain.
YES ban them, i just added it to the card at $49.97 and then it wont let me check out as the item was not valid.
Now its at $60 :(
is that even legal?
similar to displaying one price in a physical store and then being charged a higher price at checkout.
I have one, but I bought it from Amazon (shipped to a US address).
Love it. Makes it easy to watch YouTube videos and content from other sites.
With the SDK opening up, any number of sources will integrate Chromecast into their plans. In the meantime, I plan to install a VPN and look into Netflix and other international sources.
But for ease of installation and use, I give the Chromecast a thumbs up.Now $60 NOT a bargain
sorry guys who missed the deal, I have observed fluctuation in the price $39-62 from FishPond, reasonbening I posted the deal as soon as I saw it…:(. However keep an eye it will go down again…:)
it's not your fault, fishpound ALWAYS jack up the price after it get quite a few orders…..
Never trust Fishpong.
Might be worth contacting someone from fishpond and asking them what their game is? They might not like their deals being posted on OzB due to stock limitations and that's whats going on with the price hikes on the user posts that make it here.
Maybe they have an automatic pricing system that takes into account stock, demand (purchase rate).
ie if lots of stock and no orders in x days discount x% if still no orders discount xx% (until some set minimum is reached) … once orders come in at some set rate ( say 4 in an hour or amount say after 4 sales re evaluate price) set price back to "rrp".Just say'n it might not be a person messing you around it might be the system.
good point and probably what is going on.
Don't order this from these jokers… I ordered one Nov 25th Jan 25th still nothing and order showed pending only to be told they couldn't source it from supplier so they refunded me a credit!!!
It's down to $49 now for anyone interested. I've received most of the things I have ordered from Fishpond but agree that their pricing is both weird and frustrating.
price in title or details would be handy
its $49.97 for those playing the guessing game at home
