There are several Android apps which will stream MP4s to the Chromecast from a upnp/dlna server. I use BubbleUPnP but Avia is another one.

Don't you need the BubbleUPnP server for that?

EDIT: No you don't, wow, this is fantastic. Thank you!

How is performance?

I've been using BubbleUPnP for a few weeks now and Avia for a month or two before that. No issues really. I watched a 720p MP4 movie last night, no complaints.

Just use videostream. www.streamchromecast.com

Very useful, thanks!

author here. there is no transcoding. i wrote this to scratch the same itch. i have a media server which has a http interface too. plex somehow thinks it needs to transcode some videos despite chromecast being perfectly capable of playing them back as it is. i play such videos using this app.
