Please if there is already something that can do this let me know. I have an XBMC machine setup for my living room tv. What I want is an app that can browse my XBMC library and stream it NOT from my phone but from the livingroom XBMC to chromecast hooked up to my bedroom TV. Ultimately I would love to just be able to use the XBMC android app and have it ask me to play it locally or to stream it.

If you enable UPnP on your living room XBMC system, you can watch videos from it on an Android device elsewhere in the house. You don't even need to install XBMC on the Android device, just a UPnP client app.

I have this question as well I really want an XBMC plugin or even natively that lets me stream addon videos to my chromecast.

Yes this would make it worth it for me to buy the device. Right now I have XBMC running on a devoted android device (old phone). But I would love to be able to call up a video from an addon on my daily driver phone and have chromecast play it on the TV.

You can literally get a Raspberry Pi and do exactly what you guys are asking for, and you wouldn't even have any slow UI issues because XBMC would just be a UPnP/DLNA receiver. Chromecast is very old tricks done in a new package.
