    this is not at all the same as Airflow, this is more like a non-hardware based Roku for the film viewing function. Or it is like the Rabbit.it version of a Netflix Party thing with additional plugins

    VCL is not able to transcode the formats not supported by Chromecast, while streaming in a transparent way. Don't support subtitles.
