It can read containers like mp4, mkv, 3gp and m4v, but all these containers can use different codecs. If something doesn't work, please visit the FAQ (english only right now): www.localcast-app.com/faq // Pictures On a Chromecast: Rotate, zoom and pan pictures easily from the "Now playing" screen, touch the button with the four arrows. // Subtitles Subtitles work with Chromecast and Apple TV 4: - Use the Opensubtitles.org integration - Touch a subtitle file after you started a video Subtitles in the same folder are added automatically. You can set a subtitle folder which will be searched. Subtitle timing, font, background and color can be changed. Subtitle encoding in the settings: e.g. for arabic subtitles choose UTF-8 Some DLNA servers add information about subtitles, some don't. // Wireless headphones (beta) Touch "Route audio to phone" on the "Now playing" screen, to stream the sound to your phone. It's impossible to sync this automatically and network delays make it hard. This feature is in beta: it might work most of the time. // Beta http://goo.gl/8Efbo9 // Chromecast supported formats https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/media // Recommended PC software to convert your files: https://handbrake.fr/ // In app purchases: The app is free and ads supported, all purchases unlock all Pro version features: - No ads - Search (device only) - Video preview when seeking on the "Now playing" screen There are subscriptions "/month", "/year" and one time purchases.
