Hi, Lowlander.
Always grateful that you are helping on this forum. I just bought the Chromecast Audio dongle, and am frustrated with casting as well. I want to cast my hard drive files on my Windows 7 desktop, to my Chromecast Audio dongle>stand alone dac>preamp>amp>speakers. But I do want to be able to control it with either my Android tablet or my iPad, so I can search for music, and view album art via my Media Monkey.
I can send Pandora via chromecast app to my system, but not my hard files.
Some people at AVS Forum have said they have had some success with BubbleUpnp app, but I think that is using UPnP/DLNA which I am not familiar with.
Also, my Plex is not working, and claims I have to get a Plex Premium Membership to use the Plex App. Ugh.
Thanks again, Lowlander.
