Yesterday I got the new Chromecast I'd ordered. I thought it would be a fun gadget. The set up was easy and I spend most of the night streaming YouTube, Netflix and other apps.
This morning I installed the Plex app on both my computer and my tablet. Tonight I'll test how that works (love the ability to make a playlist). The only downside is that it only works when my computer is on and not in sleep mode. So now I'm looking how much a simple NAS with an HDD of a couple of TB costs.
It wasn't what I was looking for; it's portable but it won't work offline. But it's great fun and if I manage to get a NAS working I can disconnect my dedicated mediaplayer from my tv.
