Hi, is Google Chromecast supported or available on any HiFi Rose products?

Hello,
Chromecast is not supported on HIFIROSE products.
No plan for now.
That’s disappointing that Google Chromecast isn’t supported when there are many more Android phones than Apple and you support Airplay…
Can I please add a feature request for HIFIROSE to support Google Chromecast that works on Apple as well as Android phones and tablets?
Thank you!

I agree that Chromecast is a useful feature. Very few high quality products have Chromecast built-in. I really don’t want microphones on the product so it listens to me all the time, but I do want to have the convenience of streaming from YouTube Music or YouTube.
Also, as Dion noted, there are a LOT more Android users than Apple. That’s a huge market that is not being served by the high quality HiFi market.
Well done HiFi Rose for breaking into this market - your product looks really interesting and I’m looking forward to seeing you develop your brand.
Thanks from Australia!

Breaking in on this subject.
Hope you guys plan to implement google chrome. Would be nice if I could stream my videos/movie to it through the rose R150. It should be possible, I see VLC media streamer app on the RS150.
So stream from my pc into the google chrome that’s connected to theRS150. RS150 puts a video out via the HDMI to my tv and sound over my HIFI system. Now, that’s the DREAM

Nice to see Apple Music added for Apple users, how about now adding Google Chromecast as well for Android users?
Chromecast for video and music streaming via Hi-Fi Rose would be far more useful for both Apple and Android users than just Apple Music that’s not even lossless for Apple users only.
Surely you should be able to add Google Chromecast as well like you’ve just added Apple Music?
Thank you,
Dion
Hello @Dion
It seems difficult to add a Chromecast app at the moment.
But if you have a Chromecast dongle, there is a way to connect and watch.
Directly connecting Chromecast dongle to RS150 is not supported.
After connecting the Chrome Cast Dongle to the TV, I recommend you to use it with your Rose device as an ARC in.
Thank you
Thank you
Hello @ROSEHAN
Can you please explain why it’s more difficult to add a Chromecast app over an Apple Music app that you have recently added?
ARC or eARC is not the same as Chromecast. I have a Sony 83" OLED TV and Sony Amp that both have Chromecast built-in, I can cast audio or video directly to my TV or amp, but I’d like to be able cast directly via my RS250 that’s connected to my Sony Amp and Sony TV.
Without Chromecast support, HiFi Rose is limiting it’s functionality. Your also missing out on a huge opportunity of new users that would purchase your products if they had Chromecast built-in or Chromecast app support.
Thank you.

Hi @ROSEHAN
I have the RS250 that does not have a HDMI input, unlike the RS150 that does have a HDMI input.
Has anyone tried connecting the latest Google Chromecast 4K dongle directly into the RS150 HDMI input? Surely, this should work? I’d be very surprised and disappointed if this didn’t work…

Directly connecting Chromecast dongle to RS250 is not supported.
After connecting the Chromecast Dongle to the TV, use it by connecting it to RS250 via optical input.
Thank you
Literally registered an account to say that I will not consider buying a HiFi product unless it has the option to stream via Chromecast. This means HiFi Rose is not an option for me.
A shame too because I keep coming across HiFi Rose products and admiring how nice they look with that high resolution screen across the entire front of the product.
