ES File Explorer serves as a catch-all app that allows you to easily find all media stored on your phone, but you'll need to install other apps that specifically cast music, video, or photos to cast that content from your phone. Tap any of the media files, and ES File Explorer lists the apps installed on your phone capable of casting that content.
