Casting to ChromeCast is very buggy

First of all thank you for the great work with it so far! It's the best media player and it works great with PS4 and Xbox.

But when I want to play videos from my ChromeCast it's not reliable.
I am not sure if UMS is the problem or the program I am trying to cast with.

I am accessing the UMS from an iPhone/Android with the app LocalCast, it sees the UMS server but when trying to connect it disappears. Something it works though.
When I use the same app with the Plex Media Server it works, that's why I believe that the problem comes from UMS.

And also if I try to access UMS with a browser for example Chrome so I can cast with it, it says I need to have flash installed, although it's already installed.
And when switching to html5, it doesn't work either.

Thank you!

Our Chromecast implementation is definitely buggy. None of the current developers have one, so we can't test it ourselves. I've been saying that we should remove it if we can't get it fixed for some time.

The problem with the web interface is unknown to me, what platform are you using when browsing?
