Any recommendations for paid subscriptions for Chinese shows/dramas apps that can be operated like Netflix and Disney plus on chromecast 2020? If ask my parents to cast from phone they sure blur.

You can try free WeTV (international version of Tencent TV) and iQiyi (international version) first to see if your parents like them or not. If they like one of them then you can pay the subscription. The subscription is not that cheap though, at least much more expensive compared to the China version. But China version subscription requires WeChat Pay which is pretty difficult now.

No need to sideload.

yes for 爱奇艺, the rest like 腾讯视频 works without vpn
If iQiyi (China Version) still needs VPN to access, wouldn’t the international version show China content too if connected to VPN?

International version of iQiyi is a different app from the china version. Their content server are not the same though you may find some similar shows.

Two recommended China VPN.
1) Transplant paid version (Typo: Transocks)
2) AJS 爱加速 paid version

Either one is okay. I use AJS myself with my Mi Box S and mobile phones (iOS and Android).

First one I couldn’t find it in AppStore.
Any idea if the two mentioned are better than Transocks?

Sorry I have a typo. I mean to say Transocks.

As for AJS, I tend to think it is a bit better than Transocks as it has more servers.

Same for me. Nothing happens after pressing the app. But casting from phone works.

Actually what's the difference in casting from phone? Is it slower or laggier?

And anyone sent Singtel a message regarding this issue to ensure they are aware?
Same issue here... and Singtel TV GO works while Singtel CAST doesn't. Have emailed the Singtel Cast support to ask, but expecting them to come back saying only the devices on their FAQ will work (which is the Sony android TVs)... :(

*Edit* got a friend who is using the shield tv to test the app, and it worked as well on it. How come only our chromecast with google tv got this prob? 😭

I read about being able to access Play Store using the Chromecast Google TV. So why still need to sideload for some apps?
