Yes, you just need to use the Plex app.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not natively, no. There are apps that can help you accomplish this, like LocalCast or Avia Media Player, but the chromecast does not support this feature out of the box.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Probably the best way to get this done is using a service called Plex. You would end up using plex on an android or iOS device to cast it to a display.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The short answer is not by default but yes with a little work. It will also depend on your My Cloud drive model. If your My Cloud model supports the Plex app that's probably the fastest way to gain Chromecast support. Another way would be to launch if on your PC, from your mycloud, and send it to Chromecast from a compatible program there (Plex also has a PC client that supports external drive folders). There are other apps/programs out there too but I've found Plex to be the best option if you have the equipment to support it. I use it and it's flawless.
