It would be cool if Kodi could also act as a Chromecast built-in receiver as well as DLNA. This is becoming a standard feature on many AV receivers.
Quote:Please note that Chromecast support in VLC 3.0 is fully open-source for all platforms! That’s the reason why it took us so long to ship as we completely reverse-engineered the entire thing. The closed-source component by Google can’t be used for legal reasons in VLC, isn’t compatible with Macs, Linux and Windows and supports a very limited set of codecs only. With our code, you can play basically anything VLC can decode on your Chromecast (as we transcode on-the-fly if needed).

Maybe someone could convert it to python and create an addon if that is possible?
