Hi guys,
First of all, loving my Z3c.
but I'm wondering if there's a way to "throw" music to my DLNA home theatre system? or is there a way to send all audio out to home theatre?
for now I'm just screen mirroring to my Sony smart TV, but its not ideal.
I'm aware you can "throw" to speakers using the walkman app, but I prefer play music.
any help would be appreciated.
Had the same issue, it's due to the way Google caches your music.
Try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp from play store
It works perfectly for me
Cheers

This will let my throw only audio?
Audio or video, depending on the app you're casting from. It works really well with Google Play Music but you can also cast from YouTube, Songza, Plex, and others.

Deezer has a beautiful user experience when "casting" to the Chromecast in your TV.

To be honest I haven't really messed around with Google music to know its capabilities, but maybe some has a straight answer for me.
My friend has apple TV and I am trying to see if I can do the same with Google music and chromecast.
I have a ton of music on my PC which is connected to the same network as my chromecast and my phone (when on WiFi). Is there a way from Google music I can access the music locally from my PC and play it on the device that my chromcast us plugged in to?
I do not want to have to upload all my music to the cloud for this to work. I just want to play it locally.

I don't believe there is a way to do that with Chromecast. However, if you have a smart TV there are other ways to link your PC to your TV over your Wifi connection.
But may I ask, why you wouldn't just upload your music? Sure it's a pain the ONE time you have to do it, but after that it's all gravy
B/c it seems like a pain. Lol, I guess maybe its worth doing. What's the limit on Google music?

Hopfully Chromecast will one day allow casting of locally stored media.
Until then you can cast music from your PC via Chrome browser.

I uploaded my music collection a long time ago. Google music is awesome because I can access my music from anywhere. If you are worried about not having internet access just hit the button that stores the music on your device. Download enough songs to hold you over until your back to internet service.
When I download new music on my computer, its instantly uploaded and available on my devices and I don't need a massive amount of storage on my device.
Google music works flawlessly with chromecast as well. Now I can sit outside on my patio and run the music from my phone.
And yes if I want to play something local through chromecast I just stream it through a chrome tab.

Works great with Google music all access.

How do you do this from a PC. The only way seems to be to cast the Google Music tab..
Is there any app that I can use to cast from live streaming services such Filmon, livestation using my mobile or tablet?

Hey Guys,
Im looking to stream movies that i have downloaded to my SD card from my Tab S to my chromecast. I have All cast which i use for Streaming Showbox, But is there an app that i can get (Paid or not) that will allow me to stream directly to chromecast from my Tab S?
Thanks in advance
I have no problem paying for an app either, What has the best interface and the least amount of bugs.
The Chromecast app itself has screencast. Did you try that?
The best program I can recommend is still Plex , but it requires a PC and software and Plex account... But yeah, if stability isn't important, your first steps should be trying something like BubbleUPNP or Allcast or of course the Chromecast app (but the latter was eternally buggy for me).
I agree, I use plex to stream from my laptop or just the Chromecast app on my iPad.

Didnt even know that was an option. I try that out
Plex /thread.
Absolutely love it!

Bubbleupnp is the way!
I have found if screen mirroring works natively, you can use VLC to play videos to the Chromecast while mirroring. Your device is used as a remote while the file is streamed.

There's a ton of apps out there that can cast local media, so screen casting is pointless. One of the better ones and free is Local cast.
When I or my girl leave the main TV room to use the restroom or feed the dog, etc, is there a method or a 3rd party app that will allow the casted app (Netflix or HBOGo mostly) to still play on the phone while also casting to the TV? This would avoid having to pause the show we're watching. FWIW, screen mirroring from the Chromecast app while watching Netflix locally on the phone... is way too laggy to be a viable solution.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Mirroring the screen is the only option I know of. You either cast or have to switching it from cast to on the phone.

The other main intention of streaming via CC, besides the big screen, was to let the phone idle during playback to save battery. But you can still stream thru the phone to tv with all the disadvantages.
I noticed I get the icon to mirror my phone to my LG tv immediately when I'm using my youtube app but not when I play a movie with the stock video player. Is there a video app that has built in Miracast? I'll try VLC since it mentions Miracast and see when I get home.

Native miracast is hit and miss as Google seems to have coded it to not fully work as to move users to Chromecast. Try LocalCast on playstore and play with the settings to see if that works.
I personally have never been able to cast successfully on my N6. I caved in and bought a Chromecast lol
I'll probably get a roku and I think it can cast to it but it might need a casting app for the roku and for the phone
