AllCast Updated With Beta Support For Casting From Google Drive

All those photos and videos you're saving in Google Drive aren't going to fly through the internet and cast themselves on a TV, are they? Wait, are they? Because if so, I think we have a mystery to solve. Since that's pretty unlikely, it's good that Koush's AllCast app has just been updated with preliminary support for Google Drive.

Google Drive should show up as a source after the most recent update, but be aware this is very beta. AllCast currently brings up a single list of all your images and videos, which makes it hard to find what you want when there are a lot of files in Drive. Folder browsing is next on the agenda, though. Here's the full changelog.

BETA: Google Drive
Potential fix for disconnecting after 30+ minutes
Various bug fixes

In addition to the Drive integration, the update includes a possible fix for those who were getting disconnections after 30 minutes. Note, the changelog still lists Fire TV support, but that was actually new in the last version.
