Unless one is ripping one's own DVDs/BluRays or something, streaming seems to be the sensible way to go.
However, ...
J has been watching live concerts by bands/performers she likes recently. Sometimes it's easy to cast it to the Chromecast dongle on the TV without problems. Sometimes, at the same service, it just doesn't work right at all (busy pointer or she gets kicked out or something). It's not clear to me yet what's going on - whether they're overloaded or whether they're using some sort of encoding that the Chromecast doesn't like, or what.
I suppose one has to be willing to accept that this streaming stuff isn't bulletproof yet - especially for live events.
Cheers,
Scott.
