iOS/Chromecast/DLNA media player
Discussion
Hi,
I have my media (mainly music but movies/TV shows as well) on a WD MyCloud and I'm after the right client software to play this stuff.
At the moment my wife and I use (and quite like) Plex, but this requires me to leave a laptop running for the Plex server. Now my media is on the WD drive, I assume I can use a DLNA client and bypass Plex/Laptop completely?
My first requirement is an app that will play my media on my iPhone (mainly music when I am away from home).
Secondly I want to be able to cast my media to a Chromecast.
And lastly, recommendations of a player I could have on my work laptop to watch the movies etc remotely would also be useful.
Any thoughts much appreciated.
