Media supported by Chromecast

votes

It seems as if Chromecast is an implementation of Google Cast. As any implementation it can support more media than minimally required. I was able to play the following media that is not mentioned in the Google Cast SDK:

  • WAV file
  • Ogg Vorbis file
  • x264 movie in a Matroska container

Are there other containers and media format that Chromecast supports that are not mentioned in the Google Cast SDK?

I'm successfully playing back H264 Video / AAC Audio that is in a Matroska container.

I've also successfully tested a WAV file (http://www.nch.com.au/acm/11k16bitpcm.wav), and an Ogg Vorbis audio file (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/45/ACDC_-_Back_In_Black-sample.ogg)
