Chromecast (3 Viewers)

make MP able to act as a Chromecast receiver this would enable users to send "any" content to MP, any YT video, any media locally stored on an device (see Koushs example for CM), any media accessible from a device (see Bubble UPnP upcoming ability to send to Chromecast)

THIS!!!!!! Will happily donate to anyone working on a chromecast emulator plugin for MP.

There is already a uPNP plugin (in development) that does this for MP.

As far as I know UPnP/DLNA is limited to stream local media and it is not possible to "advise" the UPnP-renderer to play streaming media from Google Music / Youtube, Netflix, etc.

Yes and no, since it implements an Android service
What I mean is, it is Java, but will only run on Android. (just to make sure people don´t get too excited )

Read that news, too but still ordered a Chromecast some days ago.

For anyone interested, not living in the US: you can order from amazon.com and they will handle the shipping to your country (at least they do so for Germany, but probably nearly every other country will work as well..). I had to pay $52.34 (35$ for the device, 9$ shipping and 8$ import fees), that´s about 39€.
