I am running Frodo on Win7 and my phone is Jelly Bean 4.1.2. What are you using to stream Youtube videos, phone videos etc. to XBMC. I have tried a few, but nothing so far seems to work. Does anyone have this working?
Thanks in advance.

Anything that supports UPnP A/V or DLNA "play to"/"push to" features. Be sure to turn
UPnP (wiki) on in XBMC.

Thanks Ned. I was hoping someone would post, "After trying a dozen apps, app xxx does exactly what I need". I can find upnp apps, but none seem to want to pop up in the selection box when I touch a youtube link.
BTW, xbmc remote is working perfectly. I can also access xbmc from a browser.

Out of curiosity, why not just use the Youtube addon in XBMC?

I use skifta to play media from my phone on xbmc and Im pretty sure Yatse remote adds the ability to send youtube videos from your phone to xbmc.

I love a 10 foot interface, but searching on it is a PITA. (The wife will not accept a keyboard in the living room, and I tend to agree with that for the most part)
Searching Youtube on my android phone is easy. Also I get links to videos through social media, e-mail, etc, not all of which are hosted on Youtube.
Once I have a video on my phone, beaming it to XBMC make much more sense that going to the Youtube app, searching, etc, etc....
