Description by Haariger Harald (from Google Play)

LEGACY: The OpenMax API is deprecated, you need a 32 bit RPI OS and omxplayer installed to run it.

• Cast YouTube videos
• Cast media content from your android device
• Play local media files on your Raspberry Pi
• Play streams from playlists (m3u, pls) on your Raspberry Pi

Requirements:
You just need a Raspberry Pi with a running SSH-Server, the omxplayer and optional a little image viewer. I only tested it with Raspbian, but there is no reason why it shouldn't work on other distributions.

Features:
• Controllable via a seekbar
• Hardware volume buttons
• Support for multiple audio and subtitle (srt-format) streams

Usage:
• To cast YouTube videos to your Raspberry Pi just open the YouTube app and a video and choose "Share" → Raspicast.
• To play streams just copy a playlist (m3u or pls format) to your android device and open the list via the app, or play the streams manually from the actionbar.

Comments on Raspicast for Android

★★★★★ Great app but would like to cast my device's screen. YouTube sharing also doesn't work for me.

★★★★★ Nice app. You can only control the volume if the app is open unlike Chromecast. It would be nice to adjust the volume even during screen saver on. Maybe update this function in an update in the future.

★★★★★ Unfortunately MPlayer is outdated and doesn't work with the most recent updates of Raspbian, which makes this app useless. I would be happy to use it again when finding an alternative player

★★★★★ Great app for the Raspberry Pi. Was able to cast images and video and play YT videos.

★★★★★ A config to set up the media folder inside raspberry could be good, listing each folder each time to navigate to the videos folder is too slow, even sometimes refresh never happens. Also write the path instead of do the navigation

★★☆☆☆ Works great on pie but if you have a phone that runs CFW on ICS then forget it. Will not display Cast tab can not stream from my sd card, but it's ok with YouTube.

★★☆☆☆ It sometimes works and sometimes it doesn't. Can't reach the pi, although it is on, and I can ping it.

★★☆☆☆ App only casts local media, not working with YouTube share via raspiest. Bad experience.

★★☆☆☆ It can cast only phone media and not YouTube videos.
