Cast XBMC Channels from Phone to TV using BubbleUPnP over Chromecast
------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: If you only want to play MP4's and MKV Formats, you can just do the parts highlighted in green on video.
If you want to play Transcoded FLV's, etc. over Chromecast, go to step 1.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1. Download and Install BubbleUPnP Windows Server on a computer.
http://www.bubblesoftapps.com/bubbleupnpserver/ Download the Windows Installer.
I needed to change my Public Host name from Default to Localhost to get internet connectivity.
Step 2. Open port 58050 on your router.
Step 3. Download and install BubbleUPnP Android on phone from Google Playstore. Free version has 20 minute maximum for transcoded files. $4.69 for full version.
Devices - Renderer set on Chromecast and Libraries set on Local Media Server.
Settings..Networks and settings..Unset...Server Address is http://What's my IP:58050
Settings...Chromecast....Transcoding - Check box
Settings...Networks and settings - Various Settings regarding bitrate and transcoding speeds.
Step 4. Download and install correct XBMC XAF Android Version for your phone. It won't work without the external player version. You have to run Xbmc once to create the folders needed for Step 4.
