1. How do you enable Chromecast on UMS?
2. Should Chromecast show up in the "Detected Media Renderers" list on the status tab (it doesn't)?

The UMS server is running on a Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit, hardwired PC cabled to an unmanaged switch which is cabled to a UVerse RG/WAP to which the Google Chromecast connects. I can cast from Chrome and/or Netflix on my iPhone5s

Hi there, fellow Chromecast user!
Let me try to answer your questions with my experiencies so far:
1. Chromecast is enabled by default with the UMS installation, you don't have to do anything
2. It appears once you use it, it doesn't appear automatically on startup.

The thing is that I might help you only a little, because I have an android phone and not an iPhone with iOS...
What I did was install This version (5.0.0-a1) provided by SubJunk in this post, fire up avia on my phone and I was ready to go, with out-of-the-box settings.
I also was able to play .mkv with .ssa and .ass subs, but that's more steps to explain.

The thing is that I don't know any app for iOS similar to avia. If you know any, try and tell me.
Hope you can make it work, tell me if you need any more help!
