Well, it took sometime to setup. Yes, Kodi can do DLN/UPnP. I had to
stop another tool that was also doing DLNA and possibly conflicting,
which allows to watch the TV on the tablet (works). I also had to
disable the firewall on the file server for everything incoming from the
tablet - it is not clear what ports are needed for dlna and chromecast.
Finally, the tablet (BubleUPnP) saw the video collection of kodi and
offered to watch it.
BubleUPnP can use its internal rendered or a local one, VLC. And VLC can
not cast certain videos to Chromecast. Or BubleUPnP can use use its own
renderer.
Both cases are the same: sound, no video on the TV.
There was a message that popped up for a few seconds, not enough to read
it, that transcoding was limited to 20 minutes and ... the rest I could
not read. Ah, tried a second time: that I have to purchase the app to
get more minutes. What for, if it doesn't play my videos? Good grief.
At some point it said that some player named MX was the best as
external. I installed it, but apparently MX can not play my files even
if stored on the tablet, and can not cast on its own either.
So, no good either of those two apps.
The good thing, I learnt how to do dlna.
