The Chromecast launched this summer but only supported a few apps like YouTube, Google Play Music, and Netflix. Today, Google announced many more apps that will support the company’s $35 streaming media stick.
Major apps like Vevo, Plex, and Songza are now supported, letting you stream more video and music content to your TV. Plex is perhaps the most interesting inclusion as it will allow users a way to play video and audio files from a Plex media server. While streaming of local content from your phone still isn’t supported, Plex will at least help you play files from your networked computers.
Other notable apps that gained Chromecast support today include Revision 3, RealPlayer Cloud, Red Bull.TV, and The Washington Post. Look for updates to these apps in the Apple App Store or Google Play today.
Google promises to bring support to more apps on Android, Chrome, and iOS soon.
