Here's something I wouldn't have thought possible: I did a system update forgetting that I was Chromecasting Netflix

It continued playing uninterrupted throughout the whole process including going to the next episode.

Yeah, it'll keep going for 4 or 5 episodes (half hour each) until it prompts you with "Are you still there?" -- nm - Inigo Aug 11, 12:35 3
- but through a system update, that's a bit impressive. Where's the data coming from? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 11, 12:37 2
  - What Ender said. I've used this trick a few times when I couldn't find my charger, and knew my IPad's battery was about to die. -- nm - Inigo Aug 11, 12:59
  - The data never comes through the computer. The Chromecast pulls it straight from the net. The pc just tells the dongle where to get it. -- nm - Ender Aug 11, 12:44
