I should be able to play local video files (.avi) by dragging and dropping into Chrome browser on my laptop. I've seen Youtube demonstrations of how this works. But when I do this the video file it treated as a download by Chrome - it downloads the file and then plays it with my default media player which is VLC. This is not what I want. I want Chrome to play the video so that I can cast it to my newly-installed Chromecast and watch it on my TV.
Anyone know what might be wrong?
