I have been playing with my Chromecast/tablet using BubbleUPnp and found that I had a couple of movies that wouldn't play properly as the Chromecast can't decode AC3 audio. I installed the BubbleUPnP server on my laptop which is more than capable of real time transcoding any video into something the chromecast can play.
I want to set up my Raspberry Pi to do something similar (its previously been a Raspbmc device, but the chromecast is a lot more user friendly, if a little more restrictive). It will be wired into my network, headless and running BubbleUPnP server (or equivalent). I guess its capable of transcoding audio, but do you think it will be able to deal with video (max 720p) and what's the best way to go about this?
