    Guys.. I've tried a million times.. still no success with Chromecast from Laptop to Chromecast on my TV. It's glitchy AF, and the video doesn't work half the time.

    For the people who are using your laptop to chromecast to your, HOW ARE YOU SUCCESSFULLY DOING THAT?!

    Please tell me, I want to experience it!!

    I've been doing the normal laptop connected to my tv via HDMI, but figured I wanna spice things up a bit and try something new for the heck of it.

    Hope someone can help me out.

    Try casting just the tab you're playing the game on to your Chromecast after you've started watching it. I had issues until i did that

    Exactly...the Ballstreams cast option just plain won't work. I cast the tab and just act like it's a regular webpage.

    this, fairly cheap, can get them as low as $30 now

    I tried the BSdroid app from my Nexus 10 then cast it to my Chromecast, it was "ok" but miles better through the Roku

    Roku is the way to use it. I tried connecting my labtop to my tv and it sucked.

    Got a new Samsung Smart TV, and have been running it right in the native browser. Works beautifully.

    I gave up on casting to chromecast from a laptop. it just doesn't work.

    I just used an old android phone and downloaded the app to cast from there. It works.

    change www4.ballstreams.com to www5.ballstreams.com or vice versa...

    also try changing from central to west location server... or vice versa.

    Ballstream is just getting worse by the day. Tonight using my hard line Roku I get connection errors and it cut out with 2 minutes left in the OKC game. Now it won't connect to watch the Mavs. Glad we have Root now. I'm ditching my service come January.

    If you're on android don't use bsdroid to cast. I've had great success casting with ballcast you can find the download link on the forums or just reply and I'll link

    for some reason my ballstream account was logged out and the remember password function is not working properly. I put in the new code and it's not working.

    Just hopped on the Ballstreams wagon and am truly impressed. I was going to use League Pass but they had a ridiculously inflated rate for Denmark.

    For those who want more info and screenshots there is a Ballstreams review and an older one from last year

    What servers do you use? The East default was terrible for me. Since switching to Central or West I've had no problems.
