That's right - but you need Google to get the receiver application (i.e. the application that Netflix, Spotify have written to communicate securley with their servers) into the Chromecast device and these receiver applications will not be loaded into any old 3rd party device trying to emulate a Chromecast device. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104383 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
