Actually, the best route for Chromecast+UMS might be a hybrid approach.

Chromecast->BubbleUPNP Server ->UMS

So UMS is your media server while BubbleUPNP Server acts as a broker to the Chromecast including handling transcoding, and you use the BubbleUPNP app from your phone to browse/play video ...

# Supported video formats:
Supported = f:mpegts|mp4|mkv v:mp4|h264|h265 a:aac|aac-he|mp3|ac3 n:2 m:video/mpeg

Sneaky Google. They added ac3 too.

Now if I could just figure out how to make mkv subs pass through as webvvt subs, I could watch anime without transcoding.

I'm not familiar with the java methods, but it looks like instead of setting the renderer by a name key it needs to get the renderer by headers.

I look at UMS and it has correctly identified a WMP renderer on my network ...

Unless Sony updates Media Player to not suck, maybe every stream started on a PS4 should have a 10 second video first saying "contact Sony at <whatever> to ask for the following features in their media player if you were expecting them to work".

It feels weird listing something this crippled as ...

Since MS/Sony have decided to add DLNA "Support" to Xbone/PS4, and the PS3 is nearing EOL for many consumers; I am guessing this is a dilemma more and more people will have.

I see Nexus Player/FireTV running Kodi/etc as a solution some people use vs trying to create HTPCs. I don't really need a ...

This media player is starting to look like an interns project.

How so? As consumers we're trying to make the native PS4 media player do things it's not supposed to do, that aspect of things currently being sketchy is not really anyone's fault. Sony have got the ball rolling on their side by ...
