Casting movie disc is not supported in any versions of powerdvd.

I have been a semi user of PowerDVD since version 16, upgraded to 17 and found that version 17 didn't play DVDs from the computer to the TV using Chromecast. Which is why I bought it in the first place, the literature is very vague as I'm sure you are aware. I also had problems playing MP4 video files to a TV using Chromecast, this sometimes worked and sometimes it didn't, very frustrating.

I recently as in "today" upgraded to PowerDVD 19 in the hope that simply being able to play an MP4 file to a Chromecast had been improved and was bullet proof. But NO, I still can't play an MP4 video file to a Chromecast device, which if I go back far enough in time was all I really wanted to do.

There appears to be no "fix" coming for the problem and no real guidance from Cyberlink apart from "Call Google", which is a poor get out for a badly designed product.

Thanks - Thought this was going to be the answer.

Assuming this is a technical issue beyond Cyberlink's control?
Not aware of any other product that claims it can do this.

The only piece of software I have used and only with audio files to play to the earlier audio chromecast was Plex and for audio files it was faultless. Haven't tried video. I'm not sure why playing to Chromecast is so problematic except it is a Google protocol the other puzzling thing is why it's so unreliable. I have used JRIVER media Centre for audio but haven't tried it for video. I may give it a shot
