Cast Issue - Play on Roku

No updates the Windows webcaster since 10/27/2022.   Today, I now get an error that Web Video Caster has expired.  Get the latest version of Web Video Caster.

 

When I go to that site, I'm redirected back to the google drive with no updates.  Any help would be appreciated; again, I have the latest version.   🙂

Feel free to reach out to the developers at webvideo@instantbits.com.  Remember, the desktop versions of Web Video Caster is in beta. (these guys respond very quickly to emails). 

If you like Web Video Caster, then consider installing the app on your mobile device to continue using without interruption. (found in Google Play Store/Apple iOS Store.  Although you can use the free version of WVC without issue, the one-time 3 or 4 dollar purchase helps these guys continue developing WVC.

I like casting from PC; personal preference.   Good advice as far as sending the app developer an email.   Probably will do so tomorrow (way too tired now and don't want to word things wrong).   🙂

Re: Cast Issue - Play on Roku

As an additional side, I found a cool app called Playlet which I can cast if you will a video to play to Roku; only problem is after the video plays, it continues to play another video which I assume is generated within Invidious since it uses Invidious interface.   Not a desirable feature for me.  No way to turn this off either.  Still, it's an option until the Web Video Caster gets the update.    Details below.   Only works with youtube as well, so very limited.    At least it isn't nagged with commercial like YT does.   lol
