Casting shit always comes with problems, and I don't think it's the content, it's the Chromecast software itself. I have all sorts of issues watching things with my Chromecast. Considerably less issues with other streaming media products and technology, mainly problems with the DVR function with Playstation VUE. So, you're welcome to your opinion, but clearly, YMMV!
It can be, yeah. I've found that I have issues using my android phone that I don't have with my iphone (and vv)...but...and here's something alot of folks don't know...you can cast from any pc connected to the same network*, as well...which is free of the ticks of mobiles. I'm not sure what the content question is, though..there's nothing that any of the other devices can access that chrome cant, whereas the other devices actually do have marketing and exclusion agreements.
*It's the mirror option, if you hadn't tried it. I mostly use it to put identical fish screensavers on all of my tvs, lol...that and playing music through the house, obvs. My tv's all have native streaming that use our phones as a remote - and that's honestly the best option. Every one of the sticks and boxes was a transitional stopgap that got heavily monetized.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
