Pretty clear title I would think. Basically I would love to stream my classical music from my PC to the speakers on the other side of the room without cables or putting it on my phone which is full of other genres. Using a online-based streaming solution is less tempting because of my slow and unreliable internet connection (old home plus low priority neighbourhood). Thanks in advance Steven or the enthousiastic plugin maker!

+1 for me too! now that there is the new chromecast audio it would fantastic to have musicbee compatible with it!

I thought this was possible with stock Chromecast.
Is it limited to online sources and some selected PC applications?

from my admitted brief reading of it, they dont make a windows desktop API avaiable for use. I believe there is an API for windows phone but MB isnt using that environment. I gather it can be acheived by running a browser.
I doubt i would look into this further for some time and it would be better/ quicker if a developer reasding this implemented a plugin

A shame. But I understand that without anything to hold on to it would take a lot of your precious time.
Maybe someone wants to dive into how the following app is made to find out if there is something useable for a plugin?

Reviving this thread as this feature or a plugin to make this work would be awesome.
There is at least one chrome PC extension that interfaces with the Chromecast (Videostream). We can stream local media to the chromecast with this extension, and there's even a Videostream remote for Android... I wish either Musicbee or Videostream could support audio files....

+1 yes! please compatability for chromecast audio!!
-
Agreed, this would be an amazing feature, and probably the only feature that I feel musicbee is missing
-
Plus one, I only recently discovered Music Bee and it's awesome, Chomecast support is literally the only missing feature it has.

Y'all realise this can't happen unless there is a Windows API for it which google have have not provided and have no plans to provide. And no, Chrome having the ability doesn't count because it was always built in to some degree BECAUSE IT IS THEIR OWN BROWSER. Last I heard the VLC guys were building an API which other programs might be able to use, however this was a slow effort and no where near completion.

Just use plex for this purpose. Throw Plex media server on top of whatever your music source is, then you can use your phone to throw your music to any TV with a chromecast or chromecast audio, including TVs outside of your home. It also gives you access to your music (and other media) library on the go.

Looked at Plex but would prefer a solution Musicbee centered and be able to continue to use Musicbee remote.

Hello everyone,
I'd like to share a little workaround to make MusicBee work with Chromecast audio.
You will need to install BubbleUPnP Server (http://www.bubblesoftapps.com/bubbleupnpserver/) on your computer or somewhere on your network.
BubbleUPnP server will essentially allow you to turn the Chromecast into a normal DLNA Media Server. You will then be able to use the MusicBee UPnP plugin to stream music to the Chromecast.
There are some minor glitches (for example, it takes some seconds for every song to load), but it works ;)

I agree with d_abbatelli, in that BubbleUPnP is a good workaround.
There are also a couple of Gitbub projects which may be of interest: 'Chromecast Audio Stream' (https://github.com/acidhax/chromecast-audio-stream) appears to be an alternative workaround to BubbleUPnP; and for the techies, 'SharpCaster' (https://github.com/Tapanila/SharpCaster), a Chromecast C# SDK for Windows, though this project is still at beta stage..

Apple Music is DRM-ed and seems like not available on Chromecast.
You can try another way to play Apple Music on Chromecast (http://www.tunefab.com/apple-music/play-itunes-music-on-chromecast-audio.html).

ChromeCast Audio with toslink output its a simple and high-quality way to output audio to a stereo system by "untying" the wires of a computer....
