Req Send content from XBMC (android) to Chromecast
#1
Hi guys, I have a brand new Asus Google Nexus "7 tablet where i run XBMC to watch some content (movies, music tv shows etc. and I plan to buy a Chromecast dongle and I wish or request if is posible to send from the XBMC on my android table to my tv using Chromecast.

I like the idea of Chromecast because is very cheap (only $35), small and easy to use.

Is this possible now, in the future or not?

If not Chromecast is there another way?

why not use UPNP and XBMCs "play to" feature if your TV supports UPNP/DNLA, costs you nothing at all Wink
But no, sending to chromecast ist not possible yet (has been asked already IIRC)

I believevChromecast doesn't even support upnp as of yet. Ask bubbleupnp..

Please read up on the specification. Chromecast is uPnP and the DIAL protocol. The current play to feature uses the Media Renderer protocol.
If you have problems please read this before posting

Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.

As far as i know, recent chromecast updates break (unofficial) 3rd party apps.

Now that Google opened up the SDK for Chromcast, hopefully this can be build right into XMBC for Android!!!
