Even more tales of enjoy from Chromecasting! (updated)

Apparently an OTA update is surreptitiously making its way into Chromecast devices, fixing bugs, without you needing to do a thing of course.

This isn't about that.  This is about the pure awesomeness of building those personal playlists on YouTube, then casting them via Android devices.  After building a handful of playlists, I can now just stream them, as music video backgrounds, while working.


This is awesome!


Update: I should mention, that many content owners do not yet allow their content to be streamed via Chromecast. It appears that Vevo's content is, however. Kind of silly that people wouldn't want their content to be streamed onto TV sets.

Update 2:
Okay, so it turns out that the update isn't in the background.  I just got home from a design presentation meeting, and the moment I started it up, it began to update itself -- took about 30 seconds.

Watched a bunch of Moto X phone videos and now watching LL Cool J's Going Back to Cali.

This day just keeps getting better and better.  :D
