XBMC as ChromeCast receiver - MartyNg - 2013-08-12

Is there any way for XBMC to function as a ChromeCast receiver? I currently use AirPlay from my device to play on XBMC (on AppleTV2). I am curious if ChromeCast is/will be supported in XBMC. It would be really nice if XBMC showed up as a ChromeCast device!

Reading this thread will probably explain more than I could say as a response.

Good find. Looks like most people there are trying to do XBMC -> ChromeCast whereas I am looking for any device (using ChromeCast protocol) to stream to XBMC. Still great info in that thread. Thanks.

Here's some information that explains why XBMC probably will never be able to be a chromecast receiver

The chromecast is not just a dumb video player, it's actually doing a lot more
