Koushik Dutta’s AllCast app and companion app AllCast Receiver have
both received some pretty cool updates today that might entice more
people to pick them up tonight.
As for AllCast,
todays update brings in a number of things. There are the usual amounts
of bug fixes for Roku and Apple TV users along with some for fixes for
Dropbox. Koush also lists Media Server browsing improvements as well.
While those are always great things to see, it is the recent addition of
Twitch.TV to the side bar that is sure to make gamers smile from ear to
ear.
There is one catch, you need to have the Twitch app installed for it to appear in the site bar. Not really a big deal.
As for the AllCast Receiver
app. Todays update takes the app backwards in time. Koush has
backported the receiver app all the way back to Honeycomb. Now you can
get the receiver app installed on those aging Google TV boxes and give
them new purpose again. The update also includes, only for Jelly Bean+
devices, Wireless Headphones and Screen mirroring. I assume he means
that you can cast from your primary device to another device but listen
through the cast device. If that is the case, that means plenty of
husbands will be popping in some ear buds late at night.
If you don’t have the updates installed yet then be sure to hit the
Play Store and grab them. If you are clueless as to what either of these
apps are, then you should take a closer look and grab them both.
