Plex Media Center.

I grabbed an app called "Avia" which will do streaming of local-to-the-device content. Chromecast support is a $3 in-app (i.e. per-device, not per-account) purchase once you download the app, which is itself free.

It works. Note that the chromecast has very limited codec/container support, so lots of my library has to be transcoded.

Does it/can it work headless? It would be great if it had a nice interface on the phone and could send my NAS content to the Chromecast.

It has no "head" to begin with, so yes it works headless.

NOTE: Requires MONTHLY FEE to enable streaming to ChromeCast

You only have to be a paid Plex supporter for early access. This will be a free feature soon.

Plexpass is only $29.99 a year or $74.99 lifetime.

Personally I think everyone using Plex on a daily basis should be a paying member and support future development.

Or a one time $75 payment.
