Cast to TV, a GNOME Shell extension to cast media (with optional transcoding) to Chromecast and other devices over the local network, was updated to version 11 yesterday. This release brings support for the latest GNOME 3.34, a file queue (playlist) for the remote widget, NVENC hardware acceleration support, and more.
Cast to TV is a GNOME Shell extension to cast videos, music and pictures to Chromecast or other devices over a local network. It supports video transcoding on the fly (for videos that can't directly play on the device), customizable subtitles, it can show a music visualizer while casting music, and much more. For controlling the device, the Gnome Shell extensions adds a new button on the top panel with playback controls.
The new Cast to TV v11 adds a file queue (playlist) to the remote widget. This new playlist supports reordering and removing items (drop them outside of the playlist) using drag'n'drop, and adding more items either from the Nautilus/Nemo context menu or from the regular extension menu. Note that newly added items must be of the same file type as the existing playlist items.
