Google Chromecast streaming via DLNA - how it works

The BubbleUPnP Android app enables streaming via Chromecast via DLNA.

1. Start the "BubbleUPnP" app and select the "Devices" registration card.
2. Select "Chromecast" as the output device (renderer). Activate "Local Media Server" as source (libraries).
3. Then activate the "Libraries" registration card. Here you will find all available content. The playback of media content works exactly as you are used to from any MP3 player.
