A question regarding CC 2 and DLNA (Serviio)
Hey,
I'm considering a CC 2 as a potential christmas gift for my mom.
I've set up a serviio DLNA server from which she can stream video files on to her TV (Samsung C650 series). It works fine, but the biggest problem is that the TV has terrible streaming controls. For example, you can't fast forward more than 5s and fast forwarding like 10 minutes or so takes 2 minutes of repeatedly hitting the FF button.
She has a Nexus 7 (2012) running Lollipop, so I assume she could install something like BubbleUPnP and select the CC as a renderer. But can she then minimize the BubbleUPnP App and surf the web or even turn off the Nexus 7 and the CC will still stream the content from the serviio server?
Even after searching for more info I'm not entirely sure which device does what. ie. if the Chromecast is actually pulling the media from the source itself and the tablet/phone is basically a remote or if the tablet/phone becomes the source and the Chromecast streams from it.
That's really all
I'd appreciate some help
Thanks in advance guys.
