Description

Chromecast is a closed source device with closed API.

But UPnP / DLNA are open protocols and many smart TVs implement it natively. It would be great to implement UPnP / DLNA stream to network compatible devices.

You can get source code from YAACC (GPL v3) here http://sourceforge.net/p/yaacc/code/ci/master/tree/
