    Would really appreciate any help toward helping our son emigrate. Got a chromecast so I wouldn't have to sit so close to the TV to do editing of kids game tapes . Broadcast netflix great but this chromecast is not playing my home movies. Is there an App or a movie player that does broadcast? There are two of us stumped, we have been trying.
    Thank you kindly in advance so very much.

    If you have an always on PC you could try Plex. Install plex on your PC and your android phone/tablet (free). Set it up and it will transcode your local files to a format supported by the Chromecast, the app on the phone/tablet will cast the video to your TV.

    Here's what you can do. Click and drag your home video into the Google Chrome Browser. Your video will play inside the browser. Now click on "Cast Screen" in the top right of your screen. Voila, chromecast!
