[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 1015303, member: 76888"] Yes I understand how they work, I've seen the videos and my brother has bought 7 of them so I will probably get to play with one. However as far as a MP extended client goes I think an android stick is better because with chromecast you will need to have 3 devices interacting with each other to stream MP. Controller (eg. Android tablet) <-> ChromeCast Dongle <-> MP Extended Where as with an android stick you just have Android Dongle <-> MP Extended. I imagine to develop for that 3 way set up would be a lot more complicated. We already have an android client it just needs a better control interface for when it is running on a TV. Also an android stick would be more powerful + versatile. I am not saying ChromeCast isn't good, I am just saying there are probably better and more practical potential extenders for MediaPortal. However I could definitely see it being popular if someone developed it. [/QUOTE]
