No I want to send Audio\Video to my PC from my phone. CR Cast is what I wanted it just not working right now. Its for when I move around my house I would like to send my Podcast from the Living Room Chromecast to my PC in the Kitchen.

So you want to use your desktop computer as a Chromecast?

I don't know of anything other than CR Cast. If it was an Android desktop then you could use CheapCast. I'm not sure whether CheapCast will work with the BlueStacks App Player. Let us know if you try it.

There is also LeapCast, but it's quite annoying to set up.
It needs you to compile it in Python 2.7.5 (don't install the newest).

For some reason, I failed to run it.

If you succeed, please let me know how you did it.

I thought that the V2 Cast SDK required some hardware keys that aren't available outside, so it broke the software-based Chromecast emulators.

Cast v2 emulator

I found this new tool that claims to support cast v2 screen mirroring feature. It is available for both Windows and Mac.

XDA won't let me post links, so copy/paste the following link in your address bar.

Use windows media player with allcast or similiar app.

If you have windows PC, enable home sharing in network settings and windows media player

By enabling network settings and windows media player, you can use apps (avia, localcast or allcast) to cast to your desktop.

Allcast also has a chrome extension allcast receiver that only works with allcast.

Sounds to me (maybe I'm misreading it) that what he wants is the ability to Mirror to a PC as opposed to a CCast.
