UPnP / DLNA streaming on network receiver

Chromecast is a closed source device with closed API.

But UPnP / DLNA are open protocols and many smart TVs implement it natively. It would be great to implement UPnP / DLNA stream to network compatible devices.

You can get source code from YAACC (GPL v3) here http://sourceforge.net/p/yaacc/code/ci/master/tree/

Consider it added to the queue.
If you feel like you can implement this yourself, feel free to have a go.

Unfortunately i'm not an Android developer ... But i'm patient ;)

[medavox]

Fair enough :) I'll add it to the TODO list on the wiki.

I suggest the feature should be implemented on the Yaacc side: https://sourceforge.net/p/yaacc/tickets/117/

Are you a Yaacc developer ?

[ildar]

Nope

Yaacc doesn't seem to be really active. And it's a bit outdated ...

I'm not even sure there are API that could be uses by NewPipe.

Perhaps including source code would be a better solution.

I know this is an old issue, but just in case anyone's interested, you can share a video from NewPipe to an application like BubbleUPNP or Allcast and it will work with the chromecast. But that's only if you're okay with installing proprietary apps..

(Those apps work with UPnP devices also)

I think if you use cromecast at the first place you also don't bother about using non free software. However I'd like to support upnp but I don't know how, and to be honest, I have other problems to care about first :/

Here is an open source library for Upnp/Dlna : https://github.com/4thline/cling

[theScrabi]

All right. I can't do it right now, but if someone wants to implement this for NewPipe I'll add it.

If I do a PR with Chromecast support, using https://github.com/googlecast/CastCompanionLibrary-android and the use of the default media controller would this be OK? I would like to support the Chromecast Audio for youtube because the official does not do it.

If it's not OK i'll start working on my own client with similar support but I would rather like to do a collaboration.
