How to:

Go "MENU" > "Chromecast..." and select your device from the submenu.

If you turned on your Chromecast after starting Tauon and its not appearing, restart Tauon.
The text "Chromecast mode" should appear in the top panel. Use player controls as normal. Playback should now be directed to your TV.
To stop casting, go back to "MENU" > "Chromecast..." and select "End cast". Playback should now be local again.

Tip: If you have a firewall on the same PC, you'll need to allow incoming as well as outgoing connections for Tauon.

Limitations

Doesn't work with Plex tracks.
Doesn't work with Spotify.
Doesn't work with some codecs. (Transcoding not implemented.) Common codecs like MP3, FLAC and OGG should work.
