If you’ve been eager to send cloud or locally-stored media to your TV, another option could be on the way. Currently in beta, AllCast is an Android app that streams content from places like Google Drive, Dropbox or your mobile device’s storage to an Apple TV, Roku, Xbox console, Samsung Smart TV and other DLNA-compatible hardware. Although the dev behind the AirCast app — ClockworkMod dev Koushik Dutta — is behind the wheel here, there’s currently no support for Chromecast. In order to test drive the software, you’ll need to join the ClockworkMod beta testers group before nabbing the download from the Play Store (no rooting required). Need further convincing before opting in? Head down past the break for a video demo.
