Here’s my amazing and somewhat ridiculous story of cohesion. Last week I was reminded my wife had not seen the Matrix trilogy, so it was time to buy. I bought the first film on Google Play via my desktop. That night we watched it in the Living Room via Chromecast from my Moto X phone. I fell asleep early. Next morning I wanted to complete watching it. I have a Nexus Player in my office. I watched the rest there. I also then bought the next two films in the series on my Nexus Player. Later that night we watched the next film. This is where it gets ridiculous. I started casting the movie via my Nexus 9 tablet to the Living Room TV Chromecast. I had controls on my tablet but not on my Moto 360 smartwatch, because the Moto 360 is paired with only the Moto X. So after a few start/stops of diving in to the next film, I switched from casting the film from my tablet over to casting it from my phone. Opening up Google Play on each device was seamless and the phone knew where in the film we had reached. Hit play on the phone, and BOOM I had controls to on my wristwatch.
