What keeps me locked into these solutions is that I'm totally sold on the ChromeCast concept where your TV is just a dumb screen with barely any interaction (on/off, volume and pause/resume (but only if the stars align and HDMI CEC works)) and your phone/pc tells it which content it should play. Haven't been able to get DLNA working on my current TV.
- majora2007 7y agoThis is why I use Plex. I tried using Roku and other things with a remote, but using my phone to just cast things is amazing. I also love Plex/Jellyfin because I like organization and metadata and playlists, etc. I tried Jellyfin, but the UX wasn't there for me. But it's still very young, so hopefully it gets better.
- neurostimulant 7y agoFor Chromecast and DLNA, on Android I found that the "Web Video Cast" app by InstantBits works the best [1]. It can automatically transcode videos for DLNA devices. On iOS I haven't found anything that works as good as that app yet.
