Google Chromecast support possible?

  • Google just announced Chromecast. It looks like a nice addition to home network. Since my media files are stored on OMV, I am wondering what will make Chromecast to stream media from OMV and how. From what I read, Chromecast only streams media from the cloud not storage on local network. Maybe we will need a plugin on OMV to enable streaming to Chromecast?

    Hopefully it has a dlna client and/or supports samba. Otherwise, it will be just like a Roku which does not support either. On the Roku, you can use twonky's web server to watch local movies.

  • Roku also has PlexMediaServer support built in.


    We have a Roku 3 and use it with our OMV with the Plex addin as our Tekkebebe explains in viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1203. Works great for us!
