Plays local videos on Chrome/Chromecast (with subtitles) and playback control from your mobile device.

Now you can play local videos (movies on your desktop) on Chromecast (or Chrome) and control (play, pause, etc) from your mobile device.

All you have to do is drop some directory with .MP4 files (supports subdirectories) or drop the .MP4 file into your Chrome browser. You can choose the movie directly on Chrome or access http://cinez.me/p from your mobile and the control will be in your hand.

ALLOW EXTENSION:
Access chrome://extensions/ and CHECK "Allow access to file URLs" from "cast player" extension.

CHROMECAST USERS!!
This is the solution to play local files in your Chromecast (with subtitles). Just cast the Chrome tab and voilà!
