AutoCast

AutoCast is an ingenious Tasker plugin designed to enhance your Chromecast experience by giving you comprehensive control over what you cast to your TV. It extends the functionality of Tasker, requiring its installation for full feature access, meaning this plugin is not intended for use as a standalone application.

Enjoy the ability to cast various types of media, including images, audio, and video straight from Tasker. Beyond the basics, this plugin opens up the possibility to cast and manage a wealth of local and web content such as YouTube videos and playlists, web pages, notifications, and even voice commands. This brings an interactive dimension to your TV, elevating it beyond a traditional passive viewing experience.

One of the standout aspects of this application is the custom screens feature, allowing viewers to tailor how media is presented on their TV. With presets like "Full Screen Media" and "Alternate Home Screen," a TV can display slideshows paired with audio or emulate a smart homescreen enriched with personal photos and pertinent information like the current weather.

Additionally, the plugin's YouTube integration simplifies the casting process from multiple devices, including sending YouTube playlists or videos directly from a browser or website with the assistance of other tools like AutoShare and AutoRemote.

The game isn't limited to a singular source. It supports an expanding array of websites and platforms, such as Dropbox, Vimeo, Flickr, and many more, to ensure a variety of media is available for consumption.

If a cooperative experience is desired, the multi-user capability means several participants can engage with content, ideal for collaborative efforts like photo editing.

Control is simplified with this solution, enabling not only the management of playback across different apps but also the provision of valuable information on what is currently playing. There's the opportunity to create a detailed remote controller on a personal device.

To realize the full potential of AutoCast, consider purchasing the full version through an unlocker or in-app purchase. The capabilities presented here are just a glimpse of what this platform offers. It aims to cultivate a global community where users can create and share custom screens, further enhancing and diversifying the user experience.
