Chromecast

Ok so I am having some issues getting UMS to stream to my Chromecast. When I click on my Chromecast in the detected media renderers area and then select a file to stream to my chromecast nothing happens. I've included a debug file that I hope you guys can figure out what's the problem on my end. Also I am having issues with the web interface, I am unable to browse my media through my browser.

I use UMS to stream to my Chromecast without any problems, but I do so using Bubble UPnP to control playback from my phone. It seems as though UMS talks directly to the Chromecast, so this doesn't chew battery on my phone. This is similar streaming to my PS3 - when I want to stream content from my PS3 I pull content from PMS rather than trying to push content to my PS3.

And what would be an equivalent app for iPhone be?

Ok I've found an app that works for iphone/ipad. It's called VideoCast, the free version just gives you the basic controls like play/pause and volume control but no forward or reverse/seeking. The problem though is it doesn't seem to stream 5.1 sound, only 2.0. I was wondering if that was a limitation of the Chromecast or a setting in UMS or maybe the iphone app? Any help would be appreciated.

As for my issue pushing a video using UMS to my Chromecast, is there a windows program I can use that would bypass using the UMS Chromecast push in the status screen, but still use UMS to render the video?
