Description

Chromecast is a closed source device with closed API.

But UPnP / DLNA are open protocols and many smart TVs implement it natively. It would be great to implement UPnP / DLNA stream to network compatible devices.

You can get source code from YAACC (GPL v3) here http://sourceforge.net/p/yaacc/code/ci/master/tree/

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the UPnP/DLNA protocol and examine the YAACC project's implementation (http://sourceforge.net/p/yaacc/code/ci/master/tree/). Then design an integration approach by adding a new streaming service that can handle UPnP requests. Start by understanding NewPipe's current streaming architecture and where network receiver support can be added.
