An oft-requested feature for streaming content apps is the ability to display the picture on the big screen, but continue to receive sound through a mobile device so the user can pop their headphones on and tune out external noises. Koushik Dutta, developer of the AllCast app, indicates he is working on a solution to implement this feature when AllCast is used in conjunction with Amazon’s Fire TV set top box.
According to Dutta, the Fire TV will download and display the video while the audio stream will be delivered to the mobile device. He indicates he is even going so far as to mute the TV. Unfortunately, it does not look like this capability will be coming to Chromecast as advanced A/V parsing is not possible, at least not directly.
Check out the video below for Dutta’s explanation of what he is working on with the wireless headset feature.
