Does Chromecast with Google TV support connecting to a remote media/ftp server?

by adityapstar

My router has the abillity to turn into a ftp/media server if you plug in an external drive. Is it possible to connect to the servers using chromecast with google tv?

many file managers have the capability. Check Xplore File Manager or FX File Explorer.

Yes as long as the app you're using supports ftp like (VLC, Kodi, Solid Explorer) to name a few.

Routers with FTP are usually shyte. They don’t have the juice to perform well. You’re better off getting areal NAS.

That said,Kodi can easily read any network drives. FTP, NFS, uPnP, etc
