<p>AllCast, the Android application that provides users with something of an AirPlay-like experience for streaming music, videos, and photos to your TV via a variety of devices like Roku, Apple TV and Xbox, now works with Chromecast again, thanks to yesterday's public release of the Chromecast SDK.</p><p>Shortly after Google's Chromecast dongle first launched, AllCast creator and well-known Android dev Koushik Dutta reverse engineered the technology in order to create the AllCast app (previously called "AirCast") so Android users could stream content from their phone or tablet to the big screen. But Google quickly shut off the app's Chromecast support.</p><p>Google intentionally broke AllCast in August by releasing a Chromecast update that disabled "video_playback" support, Dutta said.</p><p>At the time, Google explained that the SDK was in "developer preview," and that many changes were still ahead. That is, wanted the SDK to be for official testing only, not independent efforts like the AllCast applicationhowever awesome they may be. To date, Chromecast only worked with a handful of top Android applications, including Netflix, Hulu Plus, YouTube, Pandora and a few others.</p><p><a href="http://techcrunch.com/2014/02/04/allcast-the-android-app-offering-an-airplay-like-experience-now-works-with-chromecast-again/">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://gigaom.com/2014/02/04/allcast-works-with-chromecast-again-streams-local-media-from-android-to-tv/">AllCast works with Chromecast again, streams local media from Android to TV</a> (GigaOM)</p><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2014/02/04/allcast-android-chromecast-sdk/">AllCast Android media streamer and Chromecast are friends again now that the ...</a> (Engadget)</p><p><a href="http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/02/google-opens-up-chromecast-with-new-streaming-sdk-for-ios-android-chrome/">Google opens up Chromecast with new streaming SDK for iOS, Android, Chrome</a> (Ars Technica)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dM116YM1yKqSuaMGXY3FTbF40j7bM&authuser=0&ned=us">161 additional articles.</a></p>
