That’s exactly what many developers of apps targeting the Chromecast are going to be doing this week after an update to the Google Cast SDK.

[For Developers] Google Cast SDK Updated With Media Player Library Improvements And Native Support For Subtitles was written by the awesome team at Android Police.
