DLNA player "Cast to"
I'd like to introduce my new app, "Cast to", proposed as a replacement for DLNA player "Lumia Play to".

Good old DLNA player by Nokia, called initially "Nokia Play to" and later "Lumia Play to" is a good but unfortunately abandoned Windows Phone 8.0 application. Also, "Lumia Play to" has some disadvantages: it always shows oldest pictures and videos first (acceding sort order) and you need to scroll down for a long time if you have a lot of media items in your library. Also, you can't run slideshow with pictures and videos because these items located (in "Play to") in the different folders.
So, I decided to create my own ideal DLNA player for the phone's media library (this functionality is one of a primary in our family 'cause we have two kids and relatives and friends :smile
"Cast to" pros:
- descending sorting of the media items (pictures and videos)
- same view and playlist for pics & videos
- slideshow plays pics and videos
- Continuum support
- app able to show panoramas/non-standard pics usually rejected by most of TV's
- modern and fast Windows 10 user interface
- live or standard app tile
app's cons:
- lack of QA beta testing (all my "QA team" is my wife and 6 yo daughter)
- it works on Windows 10 devices only (no WP 8.1 support, sorry!)
App is paid ($1.99) but has unlimited (by time) free trial version with the couple of limitations.
