Yes, your new link works.
Installed it at work so I can't really play with it yet but there is a weird little headphone and chrome something icon with a line through it at the bottom left of the main screen that doesn't do anything. I probably need to be on the same network and the app to see my chromecast for whatever that is to do something but just thought I'd mention it.
Suggestions:
1) Add a check on app start to notify if it can't find the chromecast on the network
2) Ask to enable wifi for same reason as #1
3) Add Widget(s) for the app (Granted I haven't used the app to it's full potential yet to determine what the widget could/should have)

How come this is the only chromecast app in the store every other developer is saying that google hasn't allowed developers to release apps yet I think it has something to do with the beta sdk or something

Maybe because this is using an API for controlling the Chromecast but it's not actually pushing video to it.

Don't know about other, but I can tell you one thing : Google released all the stuff a developer could need to develop apps for it and there's no limitation to publish what they want. Here's the catch though, their API is somehow limited for clients and are meant for services like Netflix or Hulu to implement their own media player remote. Sending content to the Chromecast is a very different thing (and is potentially the most interesting). Koush wrote a few things about it on his Google+ page, I recommend checking it out as well as his workaround.

Do you have any plans to post your source code? I'd love to take a look at it.
I'm strongly considering it but not immediately. There's a lot of changes going on in the codebase still and a little bit of house cleaning before I can start thinking of releasing it. Maybe in a couple months from now. If you need to look at some chromecast code, samples do pretty much the same =)

As title reads is it possible to DLNA on the DINC or is it something that has to be in the hardware or baked in the ROM?

i couldn't even get the thing to work on the Droid X, but here's the .apk and an .apk for the system (i think???)
I don't know, but all i can say is, the X is overrated and overhyped, its not nearly as good as the incredible, even with that large screen, the AMOLED on the Incredible is much much nicer. I'm swapping my X for my Incredible back, I never had so many problems with my Inc as i have so far with the X.
What exactly is DLNA?
Not going to work. There is specific framework on the X that is for DLNA as well.
If someone's REALLY, REALLY dedicated... then they can just grab the 2.2 (or 2.1) sources, code in support for DLNA (assuming the framework is open source... I didn't look into that), and build it for everyone to enjoy.
Good luck with that.

That is promising though. I was hoping it was just software based. It's beyond my skills at this point so I'll cross my fingers and hope someone can either port or create an app for it.

I didn't see one posted in the Captivate forum. ANd the reason why I posted it here is because I think the Evo users tweaked it for their phones. It's working for them.
I think we might have to tweak it as well.

So? According to Netflix this should not work on any device with a Hummingbird processor regardless of what ROM it is running. The only aspect of "working" that anyone cares about is streaming an actual movie. Anything else is just more FAIL.
Apparently, Koush has built in Chromecast functionality to CM, possibly for future release. Hopefully, similar mods can be made that will do the same for other ROMs...

To be clear, this allows you to cast any video or audio, FROM a CM phone TO the Chromecast.
When i read your post, i imagined that i could cast TO my CM phone...
Still, VERY AWESOME!

Game. Changer.
Unless I understand it wrong, none of these 3rd party apps and tweaks are going to work for us (non-developers) until Google starts whitelisting apps. I think each app needs its own specific whitelisted key by Google in order to make an app talk to the Chromecast.

I fell into the same trap; I want to use an old tablet I have laying around as a chromecast receiver. While this isn't that, you kind of buried the lead: media from any app is castable, that is amazing.

I thought the Chromecast hardware had to be setup to be in 'developer mode', and then whitelisted by Google in order to even receive anything besides the default apps?

The function will be built into CM so you wont have to root the chromecast, now you have to unlock and root your device to install CM so as long as the build you install supports it you should be good to go.
This i want. Streaming netflix and YouTube from my tablet is awesome, but chromecast is pretty limited.
I knew this would happen at some point. Those that don't have a chromecast need to order one now (2-3 month wait). Hopefully this will be released soon.

This is exactly what I thought chromecast was when it was first announced. I was really disappointed when I saw the limited functionality it actually has. Hopefully a full on mirror will be next.

I don't really get the appeal of this. What's the point of casting something on one android device to another? Why not just play it on that device you are casting too? Of casting to an HDMI stick doesn't make sense, just play the video/ audio on the HDMI stick.
Koush`s chromecast integration is awesome.

One more lesson to be careful what you install. Xposed has great benefits but there are great risks as well. Unless you are watching the code and understand what your seeing then you are just trusting some random person on the Internet.
