Hi,
I've found a way to stream XBMC from the computer through Chromecast using Avia Player to the TV. It seems a little complicated but it's really not. You can either use the Instructions below or watch the Tutorial Video from You Tube. http://youtu.be/NCgP0r5Dvp8
Step 1. Download and Install Blue Stacks at http://www.bluestacks.com/
Step 2. Download XMBC XAF version with External Player and Install it. It will not work without this special version.
XAF Link - http://www.xbmcandroid.com/2013/05/...-xaf-custom-build-of-xbmc-for-android-is-out/
Download and InstallXMBC XAF Custom Build for NON-NEON Touch Screen Devices
It downloads with an extension of .zip. It wouldn't install so I changed the extension from .zip to .apk and then it installed with no problems.
Important: Before continuing, you need to run xbmc once immediately after installing in order
to create the .xbmc folder preceding /userdata in the following path. Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata/
Step 3. Start Blue Stacks and download File Manager from the Playstore within Blue Stacks.
Step 4. Download playercorefactory.xml at http://www.mediafire.com/view/a3y3byisq12wksj/playercorefactory.xml
Save playercorefactory.xml to C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\UserData\SharedFolder\
Open File Manager in Blue Stacks. Go to
Home/bstfolder/BstSharedFolder/Playercorefactory.xml
Click Multi, highlight the playercorefactory.xml and then hit Move
Paste playercorefactory.xml to
Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata/
Step 5. Download Avia Player from the Google Playstore within BlueStacks for free. You will need to go into Settings of the Avia Player and unlock the Chromecast Add-on for $2.99.
Step 6. Start Chromecast
Start XBMC - Start your show- Click the Cast Button and it automatically finds Avia Player and casts from the computer to the Big Screen.
