Ok, I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction with this - I've been setting up RPis with Open/LibreELEC as media centres recently and have a pretty good grasp of it now. I've slowly put together a base image with lots of bells and whistles that can pipe content from pretty much anything via NFS/CIFs/FTP, generate nice libraries of films and music with scrapers, lots of plugins for auto-download of subtitles and iPlayer/ITV hub/C5, Android/IOS based remote controls, etc. The one thing that I don't really get at all though is streaming *to* the RPi as a target though, presumably via DNLA/UPnP (I think?). At the moment they work brilliantly controlling them directly and pulling content from sources, but I want to *push* content to a passively listening RPi instead if you see what I mean - conceptually, I guess I want to be able to make them act like a Chromecast on demand. Not only do I not really know anything about this but this is being put together for a relatively elderly and disabled (registered deaf, hence the automatic subtitle downloading requirement) individual so the result hopefully has to be pretty easy to use. Ideally - she's pretty competent with her trusty windows 7 laptop - she'd be able to sit down in her comfy chair of an evening with her laptop and be able to start up something in iPlayer in a browser or a DVD in VLC, and then just hit a "send to the RPi" button and the rest would stream over wifi directly to the listening media centre tucked behind the TV. Any ideas? I've briefly looked at Mediatomb and Plex (which has become nagware apparently) but was hoping for a pointer before I just wade in and research all of this from scratch.
