[APP][4.4+] Cast Controller | Watch Webvideos on FireTV or Chromecast

I think I've got a good one for y'all!

Cast Controller | Webvideos to Chromecast and FireTV
In a nutshell, Cast Controller is a tiny Browser, which detects emedded videos in webpages and lets you cast them directly to your TV with a single Tap.
Even if the UI looks like made by an 12-years-old, this little bastard excels in supplying your FireTV or AndroidTV with videos aside of the official offerings of Google and Amazon.
Unlike similar apps, Cast Controller gets the video directly from the Browser after the site has been loaded completely and therefore handles a huge variety of video players and -sites.
For the "enduser-oriented", official description, please refer to the App's Micropage: castcontroller.xtools.at
If you wan't the XDA-version, continue reading :)


Features

• Watch almost every video on the Web on your TV via Amazon FireTV or a Google Cast-enabled Device.


• No need for any additional companion- or receiver-app on your TV.


• Handles a huge variety of video players and -sites (see below for more information), even if videos are asynchronously loaded.


• Working seamlessly with sites like Facebook, Instagram, Twitch and Vimeo, as well as almost every video your phone's Browser would play too.


• Control video playback from your phone, including easy seeking in long videos with the recently added progress bar.


• Browser with Favorites management and search powered by Duckduckgo.


• Advanced Browser features like Desktop mode, Browsing history and disabling Javascript or Cookies (PRO only - free via XDA).


• Integrated AdBlocker and Tracking Protection for unrooted phones, safely preventing you from most annoying ads and malicious redirects (PRO only - free via XDA).


• Play your last watched videos directly, without having to re-visit the page (PRO only - free via XDA).


• Completely Ad-Free (PRO only - free via XDA).

How to use
That's pretty simple either:

1. Connect your phone or tablet to the same WiFi-Network your FireTV or Cast-Device is on.


2. Available devices will pop up in the Toolbar in the top right corner. Choose a device you want to play on. If you don't see any devices, please check your connection.


3. Visit the page where your video is located. You can type an URL or a search term into the input field.


4. Tap the video and start it in the browser to get it recognized. If a video was found, the Action Button turns orange. Tap the Button to start playing on your TV.


5. ??? (it may take some time for the FireTV/Chromecast to buffer the video, especially if it's a bigger one)


6. Profit - enjoy :)

Get PRO-version for free @xda
Unfortunately, my friends are not that tech-savvy, most of them don't even know what a Chromecast is and prefer cable-TV over Netflix & Amazon Video.
I recently created the 500 coupon-codes Google allows me to do in one quarter. And 499 of them are yours, exclusivly here on XDA :) Just send me a PM and I will send you a coupon within 1-2 days.
Please notice that I can only supply you with a free PRO-Version if you get the app from Google Play, Amazon does not offer that kind of promotions.
Free coupon-code giveaway starts July 28th 2016, mostly beacuse that's when I return from vacation ;) However, you can send me a PM now to be among the first.


Where to get
Cast Controller is available via
Google Play: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.xtools.castcontroller.android
Amazon App Store: amazon.com/gp/mas/dl/android?p=at.xtools.castcontroller.android&showAll =1
(sorry can't post external links yet).
If you like it, please post a nice review and/or tell your friends, it has been recently downvoted by people who didn't knew how to use it... Maybe it's usage is not that self-explaining, I'm working on that...


Supported sites, Limitations
First, let's see which sites are already tested working:
Facebook, Vimeo, Instagram, Twitch, Vid.me, Clipfish, Veoh
Additionally, every site using standard HTML5 video players or an actual version of JW Player
Most "grey area" video streaming sites, like Streamcloud, Vidzi and you name it
Most big adult Tube-sites

Still unclear:
Vine - probably due to a bug in their Frontend, the page doesn't load on my test devices. Videos should work, however.
Twitter
Youtube might be supported as well, try for yourself if you like :)

Confirmed broken:
Amazon Video, Hulu and Netflix, for obvious, DRM-related reasons
Dailymotion and MyVideo, couldn't figure that out yet
ANY kind of Flash-videos (again, for obvious reasons)

The browser itself imposes some natural limitations as well:
The Desktop mode is limited to sites that are actually using seperate Desktop/Mobile versions. So called "Responsive" sites (like XDA) adapt solely on basis of your device's screen size and can therefore not be changed.
If you tinker to much with the settings (Cookies, Javascript, AdBlock, Desktop-mode,...), videos might not be recognized as the page lacks the ability to properly display them.


Roadmap
Upcoming features in the next Releases:

• Autocomplete for URL input


• On first start, the app needs some time to be set up. Instead of the blank white screen, I'll include a nice splash screen.


• Open HTTP-links (from Share,etc.) directly in the app


• DLNA-support, if requested by you guys. Unfortunately, I haven't got too many devices to test on, so it might become quirky :/


• I'm open for further suggestions :)

Donations
Erm... no thanks, I think I'm fine, seriously :) I don't want to make a fast buck with you, that's why I'm giving it away for free here. I developed this app because I had a certain need no other app could fulfill.
However, you can help me: If you like it, please tell your friends about it and give me a good review. If not, please contact me or post your feedback here to improve it.
